Los Angeles-based producer Devault is making waves with his return to Insomniac Records after a six-year hiatus. His new single “Zero,” released today (February 13), marks a full-circle moment for the Southern California artist who first found his footing on the legendary imprint back in 2020.
A New Chapter in Devault’s Evolution
“Zero” represents everything fans have come to love about Devault’s recent pivot toward club-forward material. The track explores the intoxicating rush of all-consuming romance, anchored by haunting vocals from Australian electronic artist Kučka that drift through moody piano chords and gradually intensifying synth lines.
What sets this release apart is Devault’s masterful restraint. Rather than rushing to the drop, he lets tension build patiently before locking into a speed-garage groove that delivers euphoria without excess. It’s precisely the kind of cinematic-meets-kinetic approach that’s been earning him support from heavyweights like John Summit, Chris Lake, and Seth Troxler.
Building on ‘Feels Like Us’ Success
The new single builds directly on the momentum of Devault’s 2025 breakthrough track “Feels Like Us.” Speaking about the connection between the releases, Devault explains: “After the energy and response to ‘Feels Like Us,’ I wanted to create something that extends that vibe but is more energetic and vibrant.”
He adds that Kučka’s vocals “feel super nostalgic, and the record has quickly become a staple in my sets across the country.” For those who’ve been following Devault’s journey from his early experimental days to his current club-focused sound, “Zero” feels like the perfect synthesis of his artistic evolution.
Live Performance Powerhouse
Timing couldn’t be better for this release. Devault is currently in the final stretch of an extensive 18-plus-stop North American tour, hitting iconic venues including Silo, BSMNT, Club Vinyl, Brooklyn Storehouse, and CODA. “Zero” has already proven itself as a live weapon, tested and refined on dancefloors across the country.
The track’s combination of emotional depth and dancefloor functionality showcases exactly why tastemakers have been championing Devault’s recent output. It’s built for both intimate listening and peak-time club moments—a balance that’s become his signature.
Setting the Stage for 2026
More than just a standalone single, “Zero” serves as a launching point for what Devault promises will be “a round of songs” rolling out throughout 2026. If this release is any indication, fans can expect a continued exploration of that sweet spot between cinematic storytelling and club-ready energy.
With renewed confidence and a sharpened vision, Devault positions himself perfectly for a breakout year. “Zero” isn’t just a return to Insomniac Records—it’s a statement of intent from an artist who’s found his groove and isn’t looking back.
