CLASSIC - THE KNOCKS (FEATURING POWERS)

The highly anticipated single from The Knocks has finally been released on their Soundcloud. It sticks to their classicly laidback, nu-disco style while incorporating the use of lyricists Powers. Solid track.

MARKUS COLE - YOU SHOULD BE DANCING

Markus Cole masterfully remixes the classic Bee Gee's track "You Should Be Dancing" into a modern nu-disco, groove track. Hear more of his mixes on his Soundcloud.

FUNK FRIDAY

Today's Funk Friday we'll be checking out some nu-disco. Nu-disco obvious is a collaboration between disco era trends, including synth-heavy and P-funk, and electronic music. While the sub-genre has been around since the 70's and 80's, nu-disco has only been more mainstream recently with the stylings of groups like Daft Punk and Breakbot. Check out some of my favorite nu disco below.

ARTIST HIGHLIGHT - THE KNOCKS

The Knocks consist of B "B-Roc" Ruttner and James "JPatt" Patterson from New York City. The duo got their name from a time early in their career when neighbors would knock on their door for playing music too loudly. Since forming back in 2007, they have mixed for Katy Perry and Britney Spears, opened for Ellie Goulding, and shared the stage with Deadmau5, Skrillex, Tiesto, and more. NME Magazine has named "The Knocks" one of the "20 hottest producers in music".  Check out a couple of their singles below, then head over to their Soundcloud to hear more.
