Duke Dumont played a show I went to in 2013 and was probably my favorite DJ of the night. There were a couple others, but I'd had a long day of partying and listening to music and he was the one that really stuck with me. I loved how danceable all his tunes were.
Sometimes you get the feeling that a DJ is just playing through a set list they made a long time ago and just going through the motions. When Duke Dumont was playing, it felt like he was reacting to the energy of the crowd and taking us on a dance journey. I guess that sounds kind of crazy but each tune was perfect and flowed right to what I wanted to hear!
There's a pretty good amount of variation in his tunes and the experience is a full one. He samples from all over the place and keeps energy high and is an extremely dynamic DJ. Some DJs have a knack for creating an atmosphere of positive dance and Duke is certainly one of them. If you're into house, dance, or any kind of four on the floor party music and get a chance to check him out, do it! He's something of a legend among my friends who are even more into the scene than I am.
