The Knocks’ Classic Featuring Powers Coming
THE KNOCKS PREMIERE NEW SINGLE “CLASSIC” ft. POWERS! ON SALE AUGUST 12th VIA BIG BEAT RECORDS!
“It’s 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
Dance duo the Knocks have already proven that they have the chops to deliver a seriously bright summer banger, and now they repeat the feat. – SPIN
Legendary dance music imprint Big Beat Records is proud to announce the release of The Knocks sizzling new summer single, “Classic” ft. Powers arriving on August 12th to all digital service providers, a first taste for the band’s forthcoming debut album. Producers JPatt and B-Roc bring a collective background in soul, funk, trip-hop, and hip-hop, which equates to the chillest of jams bred in their Lower East Side studio called Heavy Roc, which they custom-built after dropping out of music school. Since traveling the world with Grouplove, M.I.A., Ellie Goulding, and Chromeo, to name a few, the duo is slated to DJ across the States; headline dates, festivals and gigs supporting St. Lucia. Whether your “classic” is Coca Cola or Chanel, turn it up – because this CLASSIC is here to stay.
