Electric Picnic: Duke Dumont - deep house that likes a shimmy

Chances may be that you’d probably walk by Duke Dumont on the street, but chances are you’ve heard his tunes every week for the past 18 months or so on those same streets. Tunes and productions have been ubiquitous. This is user-friendly house music, pop with muscle, deep house which likes a shimmy and a shake with its chips and dips and luridly coloured beverages.

Naturally, the tent is jointed for this appearance. Tracks such as I Got You, The Giver and Won't Look Back come with a good-time glimmer and are so right now that you'd expect to run by sporting a Donegal jersey. Every tune, every drop, every vocal whoop or sample is greeted like an old friend. The state of the rave? Very, very healthy

Three words: duke 'em up
