“This is the kind of music you look to when you can't afford a holiday vacation” – Pitchfork
For Duke Dumont in 2013 was his musical breakthrough: His single Need U (100%) 'featuring A * M * E * was not only a celebrated club anthem, but also landed at # 1 on the UK singles charts, was one of the most played songs of the British radio station BBC 1/1 Xtra and got a Grammy nomination in the Best Dance Recording category.
And in 2014 it goes for Duke Dumont steeply upward. I Got U feat. Jax Jones was a celebrated radio summer hit in Germany amongst other countries. Top 15 airplay charts, top 15 of the iTunes singles charts and top 30 in the singles charts MC - there still remains a bit of space on top for Dumont's new single Will not Look Back. Rough vocals, piano and a strong dance beat one on the dance floor forces - another track for long summer nights and days.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Duke Dumont has a mission and is simply clear and straight forward. He aspires to bring back the days that house music was all about great grooves, nice funky sounds and most importantly soulful feel good vocals that make you wanna go out and dance. For that reason he co-operates once again with the brilliant lady Jax Jones who simply has one of those old school diva house voices that raise the hair from your neck and make you wanna search the lyrics, learn them by heart and start singing along of course. Won't Look Back is deep house with UK garage influences and even Black Box - Ride on Time Italo dance elements to it. All ingredients are merged in the best possible unique way to update what should be modern futuristic house music perfect for summer and cold winter nights too. It's not difficult to see why this record will land straight at the top of the UK Top 40. It's born to be a hit song! Now the remix package is absolutely terrific and transforms the original radio friendly into the ultimate Ibiza hymn. Jax Jones comes first with his deep house meets 90's balearic house version with deep funky basslines, pulsating groove and that magical piano melody along with the beloved female vocals that make you wanna stand up whatever you are doing and start dancing without caring for the consequences. Shadow Child delivers vocal and dub mix as well. If you adore the early 90's analogue feeling then this remix will do the business for you. Cool old school organ riffs, piano coming from heaven and in the breakdown even rave style synths as well along with the glorious diva house vocals. Special Request's 72 Hour Crack Binge Mix is a massive darker twisted bouncy back 2 basics tech house version with minimal input of the original elements in order to build something more explosive and different that you will wonder if it was produced in the 90's. Last Magpie remix is an excellent break beat back 2 90's rave culture remix that travel your mind to magical spaces and sounds absolutely banging!#PureGold Love iT
