After meeting at The New School in New York City, Ben "B-Roc" Ruttner and James "JPatt" Patterson both found themselves in need of a place to live. Deciding that living together just made sense, the two began to make loud music and pissing off the neighbors. "Our apartment is this small, shitty Avenue C apartment with paper thin walls. We both had studio set-ups in our rooms," explains B-Roc. "It would be loud as hell, and the neighbors hated it. They'd knock on the walls and bang on the ceiling. We would go into each other's rooms and say 'I just got the knocks.'"
Since making their neighbors despise them, the duo have been on the up and up and were labeled as one of the "20 hottest producers in music" by NME. The Knocks have remixed a wide of range of acts like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, M83, Chiddy Bang, Foster The People, Passion Pit, Marina and the Diamonds and Britney Spears. Their debut EP Magic is currently available and are at work on a full album.
