• Alligator EP

UK based artist KNIGHT$ is back with the 'Alligator' EP (13/10/17) produced by Martin Dubka (Tesla Boy/Ali Love) and KNIGHT$ himself. Known to some for his work with Boytronic and Scarlet Soho, this is James at his Britalo best. 'Alligator' invites the listener to hold tight and join KNIGHT$ on a three minute, breakneck journey through synth city. It contains the same 70's disco flourishes as the debut release, the rhetoric now much bolder. B-side 'Playin' It Cool' has all the swagger of Clio and Chromeo, but James' silky male tenor bringing something new to the party.

Occasionally it takes only a tiny spark, a brief but highly inspiring moment, to reignite a quietly smouldering fire. Hayo Lewerentz and Ingo Hauss experienced that moment almost two years ago when – without a specific objective in mind, really – they recorded a song with British vocalist James Knights. In the process, the three musicians discovered to their own surprise that the result came surprisingly close to the characteristic sound of their band BOYTRONIC. "We immediately knew that we felt like writing a full BOYTRONIC album again," recalls Lewerentz, looking back at the initial inspiration that eventually culminated in the release of their new album, ‘Jewel’. When soon afterwards the video to accompany the song in question – entitled ‘Time After Midnight’ – met with enthusiastic reactions on the internet, fuelling their fans' requests for new BOYTRONIC material, they decided to intensify the band's activities again a good ten years after their previous studio recording Dependence. Lewerentz: "Strictly speaking we've never been a permanent band in the traditional sense but rather a project consisting of musicians who get together for specific stuff. As our previous singer Holger is not available at the moment and we've found his ideal successor in James we felt we had come up with the perfect constellation for a new project."
