Micah Martin releases nostalgic new single ‘VHS’

LA based Rocktronic pioneer Micah Martin has released his brand new single ‘VHS’, taken from his forthcoming debut album All I Need out November 20^th via Create Music Group.

Grief for the person you used to be runs through ‘VHS’ and the pop-rocktronic cut is built around the memory of a past simpler world, how the daily pressures of life take over, and the wish to escape to those past times.

The nostalgic single is released today alongside a video cut with clips of family footage captured during Micah’s childhood. Present day Micah watches on, before the realities of the past and current worlds blur as he is drawn into the historic footage. The video has been directed by Guerilla McGavin (Zedd, Hardwell, Galantis) is available to watch now here.

Regarding ‘VHS’ Micah Martin says, “‘VHS’ is a letter to the kid I used to be. It’s about grieving the version of yourself that existed before life got so overwhelming and sometimes chaotic… before deadlines, expectations, and the weight of growing up. Sometimes I wish I could pull those memories off a shelf like an old VHS tape and spend one more day in a world that felt slower, simpler, and full of possibility. I think we’ve all had moments where we miss who we were just as much as where we were.”

‘VHS’ is a perfect pairing of Micah’s electronic and alternative worlds, where retro synths and electronic drums meet dark heavy bass and punk guitars alongside Micah’s wide-reaching reflective vocals.

The forthcoming All I Need sits at an intersection leading a thrilling collision between electronic bass music and rock, metal and punk. Few artists move credibly between those two scenes, and Micah has turned that rare dual fluency into his signature – the foundation of a Rocktronic sound he’s helped forge.

‘VHS’ follows the release of further singles from All I Need including the emotive pop punk of ‘Thrown Away’, the hair-raising screams and jump-up drum & bass of ‘Burn Them All (feat. OddKidOut)’,  as well as ‘Tomorrow’s Over’, a blistering rocktronic track blending crushing metal riffs and brutal breakdowns made in collaboration with rocktronic peer HIGHSOCIETY.

All I Need is a cover-to-cover representation of Micah Martin, reflecting the punk, rock and metal worlds he came up in while bridging to his new world of electronic bass music, creating a unique soundscape in which he reigns supreme.

FURTHER INFORMATION ON MICAH MARTIN
Micah Martin has spent the last decade doing something few artists manage: moving credibly between the biggest names in electronic bass music and the punk rock and metal scenes he came up in. He first made his name fronting rock band The Zealots, which he formed in 2014 in the Quad Cities between Iowa and Illinois and took on the road opening for acts like I Prevail, Memphis May Fire, Pop Evil, Theory of a Deadman and Drowning Pool.  When the pandemic brought the band to a close in 2020, Micah channelled his rock-honed voice into electronic music.

Over the past ten years, that voice has become an unmistakable force in the scene, featured on collaborations with SLANDER, Zomboy, Kayzo, PhaseOne, Rebelion and Sub Zero Project, and carried to stages including Red Rocks, The Hollywood Palladium, The Gorge, EDC Las Vegas and Orlando, and Lost Lands.

Today, Micah is a daily host on Insomniac Radio, anchoring its bass-focused IMPACT channel and BASSRUSH Radio since the platform launched at EDC Las Vegas 2025. He has also stepped out as a DJ in his own right. After learning the craft in 2024, Micah took his first official gigs supporting RIOT on their 2025 “The Machine Tour” – including Grave Rave shows with Emo Nite in Dallas and at Academy LA, and a Montreal date with Loud x Clear – before supporting yetep on his 2026 album tour. He has since performed at Escapade Music Festival in Ottawa and a headline NYC debut at Brooklyn Meadows with ULTRA DNB just recently.

His debut rock EP, MICAH MARTIN – featuring AJ of The Dangerous Summer and TJ Minor – marked the start of his own artist era, fusing soaring guitars and anthemic hooks with emotional storytelling. Now, with debut album All I Need on the way, Micah is bringing both halves of his story together at full volume.
