After crafting cult club records such as “The Giver” and now a little over a decade on from his first No.1 breakthrough “Need U (100%)” Duke Dumont continues to hone his craft and build his repertoire, on this occasion enlisting Panama whose delicate vocal punctuates soundscape of forthcoming single “All My Life” out today via Astralwerks – listen here.
The track teases open with an elegant keys intro, soon laced with Panama’s distinguished tone and haunting lyric “Still I wait, wait for you / Feeling low, on my own / Way I feel, I don’t know.” The instrumental builds as reflections of melancholy begin to glimmer with hope before it’s layered with a percussive drop to get you moving, the stunning singing interweaving a burst of emotion with the music into the final anthemic phase.
The iconic songwriting and vocals from Panama can be recognized with collaborations alongside the likes of Tinlicker, LP Giobbi, Petit Biscuit and more, among the half a billion streams across his catalogue.
“All My Life” is the latest new music from Duke Dumont, following summer collab “Ain’t Giving Up,” featuring rising star Clementine Douglas, and a string of live dates encompassing a return to Europe, performing across the US, and sold-out dates in London and Dublin.
Meaningfully elevating his live offering to create a formidable entertainment experience for revellers, Dumont is internationally recognised for his stellar production. A feast for the senses that is all at once visually immersive and sonically abundant, has seen him conduct crowds at notable international shows like Australia’s Splendour In The Grass, and America’s The Shrine (LA), Red Rocks (Colorado), Brooklyn Mirage, and Coachella – plus huge dates everywhere from Brazil to Canada. More live dates will be announced soon.
Duke Dumont is a familiar sound in the clubs and charts. An integral part of dance music culture worldwide, the two-time Grammy-nominated DJ and producer has clocked up over 2 billion catalog streams, including 7 million monthly Spotify listeners. Dumont’s catalogue features two UK #1s and 7 Top 40s, including multi-platinum mainstream smashes “Need U (100%),” “I Got U” and “Ocean Drive” – released during a key era in dance music during the 2010s.
