LISTEN: TikTok Virality Meets UKG Grit: Sporty-O Unveils “Blue Lights" w/ Gio Yaquinto - Run The Trap: The Best EDM, Hip Hop & Trap Music

Few artists walk the line between viral hype and underground impact as effortlessly as Sporty-O—and his new single “Blue Lights,” featuring vocalist Gio Yaquinto, is a prime example of that crossover magic.

Out now via Sporty-O’s label Tequila Rage Face Gang, “Blue Lights” is the first single from his upcoming EP Symphonic Resistance and it slaps hard. Built on a foundation of bass house grit, UK garage swing, and breakbeat attitude, the track delivers peak dancefloor energy with a cinematic edge.

At the heart of it all is Gio Yaquinto’s vocal performance—cool, commanding, and rhythmically sharp. His delivery brings a narrative edge to the track, painting the scene of a late-night chase through city streets under the flash of “blue lights.” His voice sits perfectly atop Sporty-O’s razor-tight production: rubbery, modulated basslines, syncopated drum grooves, and expertly placed risers and fills that give the track a constant sense of motion and urgency.

Together, the duo taps into something fresh—a blend of raw club energy and lyrical charisma that feels equally at home in a festival set or a dimly lit underground warehouse.

Sporty-O has long been a force in the dance music space, with over 100 releases on labels like Virgin, Jungle Cakes, and Hot Cakes, plus appearances at massive festivals like EDC, Tomorrowland, Ultra, and Electric Zoo. But his second wind has come from a perhaps unexpected source: TikTok. His tracks have gone viral across the platform, soundtracking over 500,000 videos and racking up 1 billion+ plays, with high-profile uses from F1, Marshmello, Joe Jonas, and Charli D’Amelio.

What “Blue Lights” proves is that this isn’t just algorithm luck—Sporty-O is evolving, leveling up his sound and storytelling with real artistry. And with Gio Yaquinto on vocals, this lead single sets a high bar for what’s to come on Symphonic Resistance.
