1-Original mix
2-Arcader remix
Beatport Release Date: February 6, 2013
Since his debut in 2007, Tyler Hampton's tracks have received global support from legendary names like Pete Tong, Mark Knight, Belocca and Prok & Fitch.
His first single for 2013 is a slammin' blend of tech and progressive called "The Knight". Starting out with a deceptively smooth and jackin' house vibe, "The Knight" gallops intently into bigger territory with a punchy electro-tinged lead, slowly building into a melodic progressive breakdown that's both euphoric and original, then bringing the room to a funky peak that sets up your next track perfectly.
Academik's latest discovery - Arcader - delivers a bouncy, deeper reinterpretation of "The Knight" that swaps out the original's progressive elements for a more techno vibe that evolves into a crunchy, in-your-face breakdown before returning to its original house flow.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The excellent record label Academik Records headed by the always forward thinking Francis Perve presents a must have tech house banger by the talented producer Tyler Hampton called The Knight. If you like bubbly techy beats, playful basslines, cool understated melodies, chopped housey vocals and great progression of the various soundlayers that build relentlessly in order to create excitement and keep the clubbers occupied you will fell in love with this superb composition. It can do big damage on the international dancefloors without doubts. It has that clubfloor appeal that will be hard for djs not to play it. Hypnotic, groovy and trippy for sure perfect for head down sessions. Arcader remix moves on the same tech house direction with focus more on the techno side and less on the house. Superb percussion, melodic breakdown, funky groovy beats and cool rhythm to keep the body and soul satisfied. Tech house is the new big trend in the EDM scene and this release will keep many faces happy in the next months. Love iT!
