Career

[edit]

Knight founded record label Toolroom Records in 2003, which hosts artists including David Guetta, Deadmau5, and Jaguar Skills.[2] He has released several singles on his own label, and was nominated at the 52nd annual Grammy awards for his work on the Black Eyed Peas album The E.N.D.[3][4] Along with Funkagenda, Knight won the Track of the Season award for his release "Man with the Red Face" at the 2008 DJ Awards.[5]

In 2015, Knight released dancefloor anthem "Second Story" which BBC Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong deemed his "essential new tune" for June, following on from being inducted into Tong's Hall of Fame that same year.[6][7] Knight's debut album A Year in the Life, released in 2016, was a retrospective mix of his releases from the previous year. His second album, Untold Business, was released in 2021.[8] In 2022, Knight collaborated with Lukas Setto to produce the single "Get with You Tonight", which was released to positive reviews.[9][10]
