Based out of the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Knocks are emerging as a force to be reckoned with as far as music production is concerned. Consisting of Ben “DJ B-Roc” Ruttner and James “JPatt” Patterson, the Knocks are named in reference to the early days of their production career when they worked out of their home studios. Their complaining neighbors would pound on the walls and ceilings. Two years later, they have upgraded to the HeavyRoc Music studio in Chinatown and are making names for themselves finding and developing talent as well as remixing the likes of Shwayze and Katy Perry. -E.U.
