Brass Knuckles

Brass Knuckles, the production powerhouse made up of Anthony Pisano, Danny D’Brito and Tony Livadas, fuses together elements of electro, traditional house and rock N roll to bring listeners a fresh new version of big room house music. The group came together in 2009 when D'Brito and Livadas, who had been playing in bands together over the course of several years, connected with Pisano and began working as a production trio. The group’s first breakthrough single came in 2012 with “Bad Habits”, which peaked at #27 on the Billboard Club Play Charts and #45 on the Billboard Dance Charts. Brass Knuckles supported the single with non-stop touring, including numerous runs across North America as well as tours throughout Europe and Asia. In May 2014, the group released their single "Crack," a collaboration with The Cataracs, which received praise from This Song Is Sick, YourEDM, Dancing Astronaut, and DJ support from Showtek, Nervo, R3hab, Dada Life, Tritonal, and many more. Following this release, Brass Knuckles embarked on a ten date tour of Asia, their third tour throughout the territory, which ended with a main stage performance at Ultra Korea. Their latest release, a remix of Dada Life's "One Smile," came out on August 12, 2014 with strong blog and DJ support. Their newest single “Water Gun”, out August 26th in all stores, will be streaming exclusively on Beats Music for one week prior to release, starting August 19th. “Water Gun” blasts you in the face with a cool dose of upbeat piano melodies while the sing-along vocals by John Ryan are sure to get stuck in your head for days to come. D’Brito often tells journalists, "We don't look at ourselves like a DJ group, we look at this as a band” and once you’ve seen Brass Knuckles live, you will understand his reference. Livadas takes the stage each night, walking out to a packed venue while playing technical melodies on guitar while Pisano and D’Brito mix records and trigger live samples, making for an engaging, energy-packed show that is sure to get people moving.
