Une brève histoire: Pocketknife caught the DJing bug as a teenager in Iowa when he befriended DJ Wolf (original 70s disco/deep house jock who rocked it with Lil' Louis in Chi) and then honed his craft with Theo Parrish (Sound Signature) while the two were in art school together. Production was inevitable, as Pocketknife started to make tracks while attending grad school in Detroit. Now based in Brooklyn, "Mr. Hockney Peacockney" throws down with Cousin Cole as Flagrant Fowl dropping classic jams as well as their own unique remixes.

"Breaking it up" It 's start like a "low-fi Daft Punk" and become a kind of "Justice kidy-song" ... for all thoose reasons I should have hate this track ... but finaly,may be because of the honesty and humanity you put inside ... I LOVE THIS TRACK SO MUCH !!!! THANK YOU
