New York DJ and producer duo The Knocks will release their new single ‘Brightside’ on 28th November before embarking on a handful of UK support dates with DJ Shadow in November and December.
Based out of the Lower East Side of Manhattan, The Knocks are Ben “B-Roc” Ruttner and James “Jpatt” Patterson whose unique mix of beats, sounds and styles has earned them a much deserved following of fans and collaborators alike.
New single ‘Brightside’, which has already hit Number One on the Hype Machine Most Popular chart, is an uptempo chilled feel-good anthem with smooth vocals that leads into an infectious chorus with a catchy electro beat throughout.
The Knocks are currently working on their debut record which will be released in 2012 with a taster of the album coming in February with the release of a new EP following the success of indie single ‘Make it Better’ and their recent release ‘Dancing With the DJ’.
After touring recently with the likes of Ellie Goulding, Sleigh Bells, MIA and Big Boi, they have just been announced as support to longtime musical hero DJ Shadow on his UK dates in November and December.
