Duke Dumont

No Comments »

Duke Dumont is one of the most anticipated producers and DJ’s in the fidget house/ghetto house scene. As the major electronic albums keep flopping this year (Goldfrapp, Miss Kittin, Underworld) the young up and comers hold all the eyes. But even the hot young talents are still a somewhat questionable force with a only a handful of remixes and solo tracks released. The wait is antagonizing, we want Kissy Sell Out’s full length! We want Duke Dumont’s, Sinden’s, Fake Blood’s actual albums!

For now here are some hot to trot songs:

Hoy!- Duke Dumont Extremely rhythmic & building with a nice sample of an Indian trumpet over African sounding drums.

Feltham (The Borstal Beat) with it’s strangely catchy melody of an english girl talking over over a soccer anthem that turns very bassline.

Run It- EPMD (Duke Dumont Remix) Well done, “normal” hip hop with a bit of a boost from the Duke.

Mystery Jets- Two Doors Down (Duke Dumont Deconstruction) If you need proof that electro artists can be interesting and deeper then a banging beat here is a little bit of emotional build up and some extreme versatility.
