New song from The Knocks. This was posted on their soundcloud about 2 minutes ago. It starts a bit slow but become a smooth dance song as it progresses. Listen and download “Learn To Fly” below.
Update: I just realized I heard them perform this song in January (review here) and it was one of my favorites.

I love The Knocks so anything that uses their music, whether its a mashup, remix or music originally produced or remixed by The Knocks, then I need to listen to it. This popped up on soundcloud earlier today and when I saw it at the top of my soundcloud dashboard, I immediately started writing this post while simultaneously listening to what is a great remix from DiscoTech.

Got a new mix for y’all, this one dropped earlier this week from rising Canadian electro-pop band Dragonette. This is 30+ minute mixtape of Pre Party Jamz to help get you ready while you do your hair & put on your duds. Created by Joel Stouffer, drummer of Dragonnette.
By the way, Dragonette recently released a banging new single that is sure to get play all over the world as it’s so CATCHY! Listen to “Let It Go” and the awesome remixes to the single below. (more…)
I love this song and this video is just about as great with footage from all the amazing fans of The Knocks who are amazing live! Plus there’s a cameo from Chiddy Bang!
Watch the official video to “Rest Of Your Life” below.

So here’s an interesting cover from one of my favorite music duos, The Knocks. They cover M83‘s hit song “Midnight City” and get Mandy Lee on some vocals. I’m not sure if I like the vocals on this song but I really dig the production as it doesn’t sound so electronic and is more natural with the piano’s influence in the song.
Update: The Knocks just dropped the music video to their cover of “Midnight City”. Watch it below!

After the release of Best You’ve Never Heard 5 late last month, I began listening to DWNTWN like crazy. When I heard they were performing with The Knocks at The Satellite in Silver Lake, I knew I had to be there. It was my first time at this venue and I was very impressed with the set up. It has a very intimate and amazing atmosphere with a diverse crowd. Anyone will have a great time!
I first arrive with DWNTWN beginning their set. They are a very unique duo with a indie/electro/pop sound. They are extremely talented and have great stage presence. Even though they performed well, I do believe they need a third member of their group (at least for live performances). Their instrumentals are amazing. However if they had a drummer or beat maker for live performances, it will make an already amazing group even better. Check out my favorite track by DWNTWN below.
DWNTWN – “Transition” (Download)
Right after DWNTWN killed it, New York based disco/house duo The Knocks came on stage and lit it up! Not only are they great at producing and remixing, they are also legitimate singers as well. They have great vocals and lyricism. When they come on stage, the whole atmosphere turns into a big party immediately. Their music will soon be on the radio. Below is their best track. Enjoy!
The Knocks – “Dancing With The DJ” (Download)
The Knocks dropped a new summertime dance party jam called “Sunshine” that’s perfect for summer. It’s upbeat, features some hot gospel samples, and builds up to a massive crescendo before a sick drop. I imagine this as a perfect song to spin at a rooftop pool party like in the Corona commercial the Knocks were in.

I know I’m a little late, but B-Roc of the Knocks released a sick dance party mix to celebrate the holiday weekend with. I’m not familiar with any of the individual tracks, but just push play on this 40ish minute mix and you have your party right there. The mix contains no heavy whomps or nothing too intense, just 40 minutes of non-stop dancing.
Follow B-Roc on Twitter for updates of the Knocks, who are up to some big things recently, and updates for the Knocks’ label, HeavyRoc Music, of which B-Roc is the CEO.
With the excitement of Chiddy Bang’s newest project Peanut Butter & Swelly, dropping this Friday (May 27th), the duo has decided to leak a new track by them each day between now and Friday. Today they drop “When You’ve Got Music” which is samples Knocks. Chiddy once again provides great lyricism and flow. This is a catchy track and I am very excited to see what their track that they drop tomorrow is like. In the meantime, enjoy this legit song! Download
Last week one of my favorite genre-blending duos, The Knocks released their latest project, a 6-track EP titled Same Old Songs (DOWNLOAD). The project is a collection of The Knocks covering/remixing their six favorite motown/oldies songs.
Overall I’m a fan of the project and enjoy most of the songs. My 3 favorites are “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg”, “Knock On Wood” and “Can’t Hurry Love”.
Can’t wait for what’s next from The Knocks.
