Duke Dumont releases new club banger and immediate fan favorite “Losing Control” – out now via Astralwerks, stream here.
Having been the apex of Duke’s live shows for the past few months, following the overwhelming reaction from fans, he releases “Losing Control.” A modern take on melodic techno nostalgia, the new track is a sonic eruption boasting hypnotic and euphoric synth prowess. Featuring vocals from The Boxer Rebellion frontman Nathan Nicholson, “Losing Control” is a masterclass from one of the world’s most versatile electronic musicians.
On the new single, Duke said: “I made this record alongside Nathan Nicholson with my live show experience in mind. Strobe lights, iconic visual, anthemic synth leads, and a vocal hook that conjures paranoia or liberation, depending how you interpret the song. At the festivals I’ve been paying it’s been a big moment for the set”.
The new single follows previously released “The Chant,” a monster club hit that marked Duke’s return and the most recent notch on his esteemed ‘For Club Play Only’ underground series.
Duke has steadily and not-so-quietly been building a formidable live show. Since his infamous Coachella 2022 set in which his awe-inspiring visuals coupled with a reconstruction of his music was unveiled, Duke has doubled down on what it means to offer an experience to the listener, truly emphasizing the live experience. Duke’s taken his live show across the globe, with notable shows in Australia, including Splendour In The Grass and America, including The Shrine (LA), The Mirage (NY), and Coachella.
2023 will see Duke continue his ongoing run of shows stateside, with his biggest US LIVE headline
set to date at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks on October 27th. Tickets on sale now.
“The Chant” and now “Losing Control” arrive a decade on from Need U (100%) feat. A*M*E, which soared straight to number 1 in the UK. It became the first UK house track to do so in over a decade, reaching Platinum certification, and opening a gap in the British music consciousness for dance music to prosper on a grand scale.
Success to Duke is not defined by chart positions, nor does he make music with that in mind. His approach to putting the art first has still resulted in him being one of the world’s most successful electronic artists and somewhat of a commercially successful behemoth, with over 5 million monthly Spotify listeners and over 4 billion collective streams.
