The Knocks are an electronic music duo hailing from the big apple (the lower east side at that). They produced their early stuff in a home studio aka apartment then opened their own big kid place, HeavyRock Music. Then they played at clubs and shiz, and now they are big and touring with Ellie Goulding who you may remember from a Top 100 post a few weeks back blah blah.
You may have heard "Make It Better" or "Dancing With The DJ" or one of their other million remixes, either way if youre into electro/remixy shiz then they are the way to go. They also seem to have a thing for music of the early 60's and hit up quite a few temptations covers that don't at all suck.
Check em out and insert a bad pun about knocking on your door here.
listen if you like: chromeo, girl talk, chiddy bang, remixes galore
sidenote: if you listen to any of these, check out a snippet of "Dancing With The DJ" and then the campire acoustic version, which is the most interesting transition from electro to guitar strumming I've ever encountered. The Daft Punk/Ellie Mix is also amazing, and super mellow comparatively.
