Duke Dumont at Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Duke Dumont is an English electronic dance music artist and producer. He is known as a "producer's producer" and has long since collaborated and assembled EPs with several artists. The 40-year-old British DJ is a Grammy award nominee in two of his projects: "Need U 100%" and "I Got U," both nominated in consecutive years. Fans recognize Dumont as someone who brings out the 2010s nostalgia of music, given that he composes with the heat of hypnotic spins and festival stages that bring out the dance at parties.

Dumont's early beginnings consisted of cover tracks and extended plays that featured multiple artists in 2007. His career is known to be a slow burn that flourishes every decade. The following years were longer exposures in his remixes along with artists like Late of the Pier and Lily Allen. Featuring songs and remixes like "Bathroom Gurgle" and "Fear," he is popularly known as an artist who disassembles, reconstructs, and gives the songs a new life. By 2010, he took a break from a series of remixes and started penning his own projects. In 2012, he released the song "Need U (100%)" featuring British singer KABBA and topped the UK singles chart and US dance club. The following year the single was nominated for "Best Dance Recording" and is currently streaming a whopping 44 million views on YouTube.

The following year Dumont was noticed once again for his own rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Got U." The DJ stated that it was his favorite Whiney Houston era, and he treated the arrangement with respect wishing for the songs to return, giving them a new life to this generation. He released the track in 2013 and was nominated for "Best Dance Recording" at the Grammy's the very next year. More well-received singles followed, including 2014's "Won't Look Back," 2015's "Ocean Drive," and 2017's "Real Life" featuring Gorgon City and Nations. In 2018, Dumont returned with the track "Inhale" featuring Ebenezer.

Dumont's career finally started to kick off as he released his debut album "Duality" in 2020. After the evident success of this year's For The Love lineup summer music show, expect Dumont to perform at the Red Rocks Amphitheater this October 27. He'll be joined by Australian DJ, songwriter Hayden James and California-based break-out producer DEVAULT.
