Knats - Knats
Expected Release 28th February 2025
Knats is the band’s much anticipated self-titled debut album.
It comes on the heels of an incendiary year for the band including supporting Geordie Greep (black midi) and playing as the backing band for R&B legend Eddie Chacon on UK tours. They also played a sold out Jazz Refreshed headliner, supported Str4ta at a sold Jazz Cafe, and performed at the BBC Proms.
Led by two lifelong best friends from Newcastle, Stan Woodward (bass) and King David-Ike Elechi (drums), Knats pride themselves on making "Geordie Jazz" with sophisticated arrangements, strong melodies and danceable grooves. Their infectious energy has seen the band develop an enviable word-of-mouth ascent, earning Spotify playlist covers and plaudits from the likes of the Guardian, Jazzwise, and more.
In its entirety, this album is dedicated to Knats’ loved ones; Stan’s composition and recent single 'Tortuga (For me Mam)' shows his love and appreciation of his Mam, while 'Se7en', a darker tune, expresses his emotional relationship with his Dad, formerly DJ Se7en. 'Adaeze' is a tribute to King’s late sister, taken from a gospel folk tune, incorporating West African percussive breaks and instrumentation.
The Knats album represents many things, but most importantly that Newcastle is not to be overlooked.
“they gleefully rewire jazz with a hard-as-nails rhythm section, drum’n’bass energy and punk aggression.” - The Guardian

Released 13th September 2024 SK says: "The British saxophonist widens the lens on her sophomore album as leader, with lush string arrangements offering a distinct, London-flavoured take on the kind of expansive cosmic jazz that Kamasi Washington has embodied on the other side of the pond." Nubya Garcia isn’t an artist you can easily classify. Is it jazz? Sure, the London-born saxophonist, composer and bandleader grew up studying the genre under the noted pianist Nikki Yeoh at Camden Music. Bu...
