Mark Knight – Untold Business

Spanning a range of influences from disco, to funk, to soul, and of course house music, Untold Business revitalizes the very sounds that have made Mark Knight the artist that he is today. Featuring the previous hit 2020 track “All 4 Love” with Rene Amesz and Tasty Lopez which garnered 10 million streams on Spotify, the album also features the recent hits “Tonight” with Cheanai and Mr V and his recent collaboration with Beverly Knight titled “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright.”

“I wanted to write a song of hope as we come out of this incredibly tough time. I feel that musicians and producers have a responsibility to provide the soundtrack to people’s lives, and with this glimmer of hope on the horizon, I wanted this song to be a moment of positivity for the future ahead.”
Mark Knight on “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright”

Filled with harmonic grooves, positive vibes, and a range of upbeat house-charged vocals, the 13-track collaborative body of work is a modern album with so many enduring qualities. Including the likes of Alex Mills, Gene Farris, Michael Gray, and Melody Men to name a few, the album is a true encapsulation of the joyous celebration that has become synonymous with house music.

Mark Knight is one of the most defining figures in dance music, specifically in the house genre. The Grammy-nominated producer is the second highest-selling Beatport artist of all time with releases on some of the most revered dance labels in the world including BBE, Stereo, and Saved. He also spearheads Toolroom Records which has become one of the most successful dance music record labels of all time. For additional information on Mark Knight, please visit his official website.
