Duke Dumont
Duke Dumont has spent the last decade building one of the most successful and uncompromising careers in electronic music. With over 4 billion global streams and UK #1 singles like Need U (100%) and I Got U, his music has become both culturally resonant and club-defining. But chart success has never been the goal — it’s the byproduct of a deeper passion for dance music.
Now fully immersed in evolving the live electronic experience, Dumont is forging a path few dare to follow. “I’m not concerned with playlists or charts,” he states. “My only focus is building the best live show I can giving the best experience I can.” That ethos powers records like The Chant, a euphoric anthem built purely for the stage, and his long-running For Club Play Only series — a cult favorite that continues to shape his distinct sonic world.
‘The Chant’ features on the latest album ‘Union’.
A direct quote from Duke on his latest album :
‘I’ve come to realize there aren’t many things in life that bring people together on one level. My album Union is a homage to this unique experience. The entire essence of the album is channeled to create that feeling. Each song was made with the live experience in mind. The album was made to be listened to in its entirety—from start to finish—and absorbed in a live music environment. It was not made to appease playlists or radio. It’s intended to take the listener on a journey, not provide a quick fix.’
His electrifying 2022 Coachella set marked a turning point: Since then, Dumont has taken his immersive, high-impact performances to iconic venues like Red Rocks and The Mirage, with custom visuals, stage design, and a catalog engineered for the dancefloor.
Beyond the stage, Dumont continues pushing boundaries. His debut album Duality revealed a broader creative spectrum, and the next chapter is already in motion.
Whether crafting club weapons, headlining festivals, or designing the future of live electronic music, Duke Dumont remains relentlessly focused on longevity, integrity, and reinvention. “Dance music gave me everything,” he says. “I want to give back — without shortcuts.”
