KN/GHTS releases new single ‘Light The Fuse’ with Daniel Knutz remix
KN/GHTS released the single “Light The Fuse” on 17 September 2026 via Specchio Uomo, with a Daniel Knutz remix as B-side.
UK synthpop and dark disco project KN/GHTS released the single “Light The Fuse” on 17 September 2026 via Specchio Uomo. The B-side carries a remix of “Supernatural Lover”, from KN/GHTS’s second studio album of the same name, by Berlin-based artist Daniel Knutz.
Specchio Uomo describes “Light The Fuse” as a pulsating and emotionally charged song about loss, recovery and finding yourself again. The track mixes synth pop, dark disco and italo disco elements with classic synth sounds. Daniel Knutz, whose own work draws on darkwave, coldwave, post-punk and minimal electronic, reworks “Supernatural Lover” as the release’s second track.
An official video for “Light The Fuse” is out now, directed and edited by independent filmmaker Dirk Roche. It was filmed during the “Supernatural Lover Tour”, with additional footage from KN/GHTS’s live performances in Germany.
About KN/GHTS
KN/GHTS is the solo project of UK vocalist and songwriter James Knights, previously a singer of electronic pioneers Boytronic and known from his time in Scarlet Soho. Knights launched the project under the name Knight$, releasing the EPs “What’s Your Poison?” (2016) and “Alligator” (2017) before his debut album “Dollar$ & Cent$” came out on Cargo Records in 2019. Side-Line spoke to him about that album in a 2019 interview, in which he described the project as a faster-moving continuation of the sound he built with Scarlet Soho and Boytronic. The project later restyled its name as KN/GHTS and released its second studio album, “Supernatural Lover”, building an audience particularly in Germany, Sweden and Mexico. KN/GHTS combines synth pop, dark disco, electronic music and theatrical performance, and has performed live alongside Drab Majesty and Andy Bell of Erasure. “Light The Fuse”, released via Specchio Uomo, continues the project’s work following the “Supernatural Lover” album and tour.
