Our favourite vocalist just went all-in on production as well — and we can’t get enough of it.
Towards the later stages of last year, we had the chance to speak with ALLKNIGHT, Jodie Knight’s Dance-focused alias. Well, it’s no secret she’d been having an outstanding career up to that point, writing and performing vocals for the likes of Marsh, Paraleven, Deeparture, and many more. But she’s taken her career up a notch today.
Just like she told us back then, she was working on producing music that was 100% hers, from start to finish, from kick to toplines. And of course we were over the moon to hear this back then but, I’ve got to be frank: time goes by without you even noticing. And in the blink of an eye we’re in March 2025 now, and we’ve been gifted the first of these ALLKNIGHT-only goodies: ‘Home‘.
I am actually doing an EP next year, totally myself. It’s going to be just me. I’m producing it, I’m writing it, I’m writing the tracks, doing the vocals and everything. And this is what I’m really, really excited for, because up until now, I’ve always been a featured vocalist on someone else’s track, which I love doing, and I love being part of. But (…) you never quite feel like it’s yours. It’s always, “The producers did such a great job on this track!”, when it is very much 50-50, but it’s unfortunately never seen like that. And I also love producing music. I love writing the tracks. I studied music production at uni, so I’m very interested in actually making the songs.

‘Home’
I’m lost in the sound. I’m a sucker for everything Organic House and Melodic, warm and those songs which feel like a soft caress to the heart (cue my friend Rama again, this one’s also your fault), so you’d bet when you put a Jodie vocal over a delicate song like this one, I’m bound to binge-listen.
I know this may sound obvious up to a point, but a rare feat that this song showcases with beautiful grace is that the instrumental and the vocals fit like a puzzle. Of course there’s magic in an instrumentalist musician collaborating with a vocalist to fit songs to their track, but when both parts come from the same mind, it’s an entirely different story. Every element here fits like a glove. Every element has its place: guitars, plucks, pads, even the reverb applied to the vocals has its own place to shine.
If this is how ALLKNIGHT sounds towards the future, I’m so ready.
