Duke Dumont is starting our weeks with some serious strength, with not only news of a forthcoming album ‘Union’ due for release in July but an enormous new single titled ‘Your Loving’, which is a massive release filled with euphoric energy that is ferocious.
From the word go, we are immediately glued to ‘Your Loving’ with its rising nature enticing us all to see what lies ahead. Through the bubbling synths which are quite robust in their manipulation, Duke Dumont builds a suspenseful narrative that crescendos into a mammoth explosion of sound with thumping percussion intertwining with soaring synths that injects quite a considerable level of energy into our speakers.
“I’ve come to realise 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 channelled 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.” – Duke Dumont
