After catching the eye of MIA's producer Switch and cutting his teeth on several remixes for pop artists such as Lily Allen, Mystery Jets and Metronomy, British DJ/producer Duke Dumont quickly hit the top of the charts with a pair of EPs, For Club Only Vol. 1 & 2, released on Tiga's Turbo Recordings imprint. His catchy productions mixing deep house and UK bass flavors were immediately supported by a wide range of dancefloor experts like Annie Mac, Erol Alkan, Diplo, Martyn… and even more surprisingly by trance superstar Tiesto. This year, Duke Dumont entered the big league by releasing the catchiest single around— "Need U (100%)," featuring 17-year-old starlet A*M*E*—and at the same time introducing his own imprint, Blasé Boys Club.
