The NY-based group, **The Knocks**, and LA-based, **Sofi Tukker** \[Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern\], are no strangers in the realm of electronic music. The duos have worked alongside one another for years- sparking friendship among the countless collaborations. The Knocks \[Ben “Broc” Ruttner and James “JPatt” Patterson\] released Sofi Tukker’s debut single “[**_Drinkee_**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlF1KxtArCg)” on their record label, **_HeavyRoc_**, which subsequently earned a Grammy nomination. After the triumphs of their first project, they soon recognized the magic resulting from their partnership. To repay the favor, the friends joined forces on the single “[**_Best Friend_**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vx7MTU-UVE),” which hit #1 on numerous dance/electronic charts. More recently, the pairs collaborated on “[**_Brazilian Soul_**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8aSeaPAX5c),” off The Knocks album ‘[**_New York Narcotic_**](https://bigbeat.lnk.to/NYNAY)’ \[Neon/Gold Big Beat Records\].
As the remix for “**_Brazilian Soul_**” is set to release this Friday, the two groups have come together yet again for a Weekend Recall showdown. The Knocks in the city of dreams and Sofi Tukker in the city of angels; The dyads are teaming off to earn ‘Best Weekend’ in their respective cities. Who takes home the winning title? Well, that’s up to you.

NYC offers an endless amount of inspiration. Saturdays are for simplicity and nostalgia. The Warhol exhibit.

We released our new album New York Narcotic in October but that’s not stopping us from getting back in the studio and working on new music. Comics and beer for inspiration.
