Growing up under the wing of Switch, already producer
for Beyoncé, M.I.A. and Santigold just to mention a few,
it didn't take long before Duke Dumont started to gain
recognition in his own right thanks to his first remixes
of Lily Allen - and a lot has changed since his debut EP
"Regality" for Turbo Recordings in 2007. In 2010 he mixed
the "FabricLive.51" compilation for Fabric and in 2011 he
moved out into the countryside to get inspiration for his
future work. After getting his songs major radio airplay in
2012, he topped the UK Singles Chart last year with "Need
You (100%)" - and his new single "I Got U", produced by
his own fresh-new record label Blasé Boys Club, is just
the massive track he needed to continue his rapid ride to
domination on the house scene.
It didn't take too long
before the Belgian band
turned Metronomy's latest
single into a supreme freaky
remix, with electro, groovy,
nu-disco beats - and even a
trumpet solo to cap it all of.
Intricately deconstructing
and moulding every
element of the original, they
leave just the vocals and
lyrics untouched; and what
results is 6 minutes of pure
awesomeness. Crazy!

ARTIST OF THE MONTH
DUKE DUMONT
Scott Kirkland and Ken Jor-
dan were among the first
true US dance music su-
perstars. The 'Over It EP'
is a 6-track collection of
remixes of 'Over It' featur-
ing Dia Frampton, and cel-
ebrates the band's 20 years
together making cutting-
edge electronic music. They
definitely followed their
long-lasting, long-winning
formula when producing
this explosive masterpiece,
which bears all the hall-
marks of the group's classic
sound - as well as experi-
menting in new, uncharted
musical territory, and com-
bining it with a futuristic
twist and pop sensibilities.
Utterly addictive!
The Crystal Method are releasing the
'Over It EP' on May 4th 2014, following
the success of their self-titled 5th stu-
dio album.
