KN/GHTS, the solo project of James Knights, releases the single “Light The Fuse” on 17 September 2026 via Specchio Uomo. Knights is known as one of the singers of electronic pioneers Boytronic and for his time in Scarlet Soho.
“Light The Fuse” combines synth pop, dark disco and Italo-influenced sounds. The track deals with loss, recovery and the moment someone stops looking backward and finds the strength to move forward. The single’s B-side carries a darker remix of “Supernatural Lover” by Berlin-based artist Daniel Knutz, whose own sound draws on darkwave, coldwave, post-punk and minimal electronic music.
The official video for “Light The Fuse” was directed and edited by independent filmmaker Dirk Roche. It was filmed during the Supernatural Lover Tour, with additional footage captured at live performances in Germany.
“Light The Fuse” follows KN/GHTS’s second studio album, “Supernatural Lover”. Since that release, the project has built momentum internationally, with an audience particularly across Germany, Sweden and Mexico. Its live show has become a central part of the project’s identity, with recent performances alongside Drab Majesty and Andy Bell of Erasure.
“Light The Fuse” is available on Bandcamp and Spotify.
