Cole Knight

Knight Club takes over Factory Town

At Art Basel Miami 2025, Cole Knight took over a stage at Factory Town and transformed it into a medieval-aesthetic rave utopia: chains, a sword logo, and a manifesto written against the clock. That was the birth of Knight Club, the brand and party with which the Miami-based DJ, producer, and vocalist went from playing sunrise sets on the Club Space terrace to curating her own dancefloor ritual. The format returned during Miami Music Week with a second, larger edition and a community looking for something more than just any other night.

House with acid and a groove that doesn't fit in a box

Raised in rural Illinois, amidst prairies, piano, and guitar, Knight arrived at electronic music via an oblique path: she modeled in London, Milan, and Paris, studied computer science at Michigan State University, and in 2017 settled in Los Angeles, where she learned to DJ and produce in Ableton. In 2022, she landed in Miami. As a DJ, she delivers versatile sets of groovy house, tech house, acid, and hard groove, with flashes of techno, UK garage, and breaks. That criteria has taken her to Coachella, EDC, Exit Festival, Day Zero Tulum, and iii Points, and to booths like DC10, UNVRS, Pacha, Circoloco, Sisyphos, HÖR, and Club Space, in addition to summers in Ibiza and dates at KOKO (London) and Amnesia.

From Higher Ground to Nervous, with vocals at the forefront

Her discography started in 2022 with a remix of Don't Forget My Love, by Diplo and Miguel, and exploded in 2023 with Keep It Cute / The Girls Go Walking on Higher Ground. Later came Freak on He. She. They., A Little Fun on Black Book, Going Higher on Factory 93 —with a remix by Azzecca, cover of Spotify's Housewerk and Tech House Operator playlists, and support on BBC Radio 1 and KISS FM—, Like That on Life and Death, Queen Of The Crazy again on Higher Ground, and, in February 2026, Body Control alongside CHILLS on Nervous Records. Beatport chose her for their Next class of 2026. Outside the booth, she runs Duality is Reality, a sound meditation and breathwork project formed with the discipline of David Shemesh and Alexandre Tannous: the same obsession with frequency, now in the rave and in silence. She has also been writing poetry since childhood and pours those notes into her own lyrics, and in college, she competed in cross country and track: she still tests new tracks while out running.
