Hit-making New York City electronic duo The Knocks will not let the summer heat slow them down. Fresh off a brilliant “Ride or Die” ft. Foster The People music video release which stars both acts, alongside a cameo from VENOM’s star Scott Haze, and hilariously parodies several cult classic movies; The Knocks deliver a new track today,“Shades”, fusing elements of soul and funk with horn samples set against the duo’s signature, seemingly effortlessly-cool production.

The Knocks are also in the midst of curating a monthly The Knocks & Friends residency at PUBLIC Arts in New York City which is bringing back the anything-goes Manhattan party-scene. The prodigious duo are also fresh off a string of television performances including The Tonight Show w/ Jimmy Fallon and TRL for their smash collaboration with Sofi Tukker, NERVO, and Alisa Ueno, “Best Friend” – which peaked at #1 on the iTunes Dance, US Dance Radio, Billboard Commercial, Billboard Dance/Mix Show, and Shazam Dance Charts, and also peaking at #3 on the Shazam Worldwide Main Charts, after debuting during Apple’s Keynote address. The track was also prominently featured in advertisements for the iPhone X (watch here).
