“…a straight up summer smash, the kind of dance track that hangs in an era-less vacuum; the kind of tune makes you feel like you're in a movie montage, that begins in the hazy magic hour and splices together every amazing moment till dawn.” – VICE’s Noisey
“…the pair lands a sound timeless enough to conjure, via those perky guitar licks, catchiness ranging from modern Daft Punk, to old-school Sugar Ray, to that Len song, ‘Steal My Sunshine.’”
– SPIN
“’Classic’ is a self-fulfilling prophecy for the track’s hit potential, and a late contender for Song of the Summer.” –Flavorwire
“…this particular tune will lift you into a sonic high no matter when or where you are.”
– Earmilk
“If the latest original release from breakout NYC producer duo The Knocks doesn't scream summertime playlist addition, than we aren't sure what will…” – this song is sick
“Summer may be slowly fading, but New York’s The Knocks are ready let go just yet. The dropped a new song ‘Classic’ that could be a late contender for your summer jam of 2014.”
– My Old Kentucky Blog
NYC’s The Knocks are a distinctly 21st century duo, declared by NME as one of the “20 hottest producers in music” & by The Guardian as “cred-pop’s answers to The Neptunes.” Now one of the most buzzed-about duos on the electronic circuit, the blog world darlings recently announced the release of their debut full-length album, Endisco- set to drop October 7th. Endisco will feature collaborations with a wide range of superstar talent, including St. Lucia,Wes Miles (Ra Ra Riot), Adeline Michele (Escort), X Ambassadors, Sneaky Sound System & more.
Endisco lead single “Classic” ft. Powers, out today, is a funk-infused dance anthem. Having premiered less than a week ago, it’s already seen an incredible amount of success- charting at #1 on the Hype Machine, #3 on Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists & racking up an impressive 300k plays on SoundCloud. It also garnered Twitter support from the likes of Kaskade, A-Trak, Goldroom, Chloë Grace Moretz, Flight Facilities & more! To celebrate today’s single release, the guys have also dropped their addictive CLASSICAM app, now available for free on theApp Store. Give “Classic” ft. Powers a spin HERE, where it’s available to post & share!
The Knocks consists of B-Roc & J-Patt, who moved in together after dropping out of music school in NYC. J-Patt’s background in soul & funk, and B-Roc’s years spent immersed in trip-hop & hip-hop beats, has allowed them to quickly ascend the production ranks. Initially gaining recognition for their remixes for artists including HAIM,Santigold, Foster the People, Two Door Cinema Club, Ellie Goulding & more, they eventually found themselves experimenting with sounds of their own.
Having spent the last three years jet-setting around the globe for DJ gig, sharing stages with Grouplove, M.I.A.,Chromeo & others, the duo will be on the road once again this summer- taking their ecstatic live show to college towns across the country as well as a stint at Montreal’s ÎleSoniq festival:
