In 2012, two EPs on Tiga’s Turbo Recordings (with whom Duke has had a long standing relationship) changed all that. ‘For Club Play Vol. 1 & 2’ offered up sweet ecstatic deep house & UK bass cuts that have united people across the spectrum of music, from early club adopters like Annie Mac, Erol Alkan, Diplo, Martyn and Jackmaster to Fearne Cotton on daytime Radio 1, Trevor Nelson on 1xtra and even podcasts by Tiesto and Avicii. On some nights in Duke’s beloved Fabric London, you would hear the anthemic ‘The Giver’ being played in all three rooms at the same time.
Duke’s early career was mentored by Switch (last sighted producing for Beyoncé) and he made his name as the ‘go-to’ man to remake a pop song for the dance floor (Lily Allen and Bat For Lashes were notable clients). In 2011, he moved out of London to the countryside (Hertfordshire, where his studio overlooks a forest) to focus on his original material.
Synthesizing his influences from techno to UK garage and house he brought back goodies from this zen-like exile. ‘For Club Play Only Vol. 1’ was released in April 2012 on Turbo. With ‘Street Walker’ and ‘Thunderclap’ on there, it alerted the heads to the Duke movement and received support from the likes of Jamie Jones and Simian Mobile Disco.
Remixes for AlunaGeorge and Santigold quickly followed, then in August ‘For Club Play Only Vol.2’ featuring ‘No Money Blues’ and ‘The Giver’ made Duke the man to watch. ‘The producer’s producer’ had become the ‘people’s producer’.
‘Need U (100%)’ features 17 year-old starlet A*M*Eon singing duties. With a chunky low-end, funky stabs and silky vocals this is like an early 90s house classic couched in 2013 techno techniques. In 1988 Inner City would have been jealous of this one.
Co-written by teenage wonder-kid MNEK (who recently sung on Rudimental’s ‘Spoons’ with [artistSyron[/artist]) the Duke released ‘Need U (100%)’ in March 2013 on his newly minted Blasé Boys Club label, where it topped the UK charts for two weeks.

Won't Look Back
Duke Dumont Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your love it makes me stronger
No matter what we're going through
I won't look back won't look won't look back
I won't look back won't look won't look back
You make me wanna live forever
You're my remedy to yesterday
And life will never be the same
Living it up, living it up, living it up
Life ain't a party, your the passion by my side
Living it up, living it up, living it up
Life ain't a party, your the passion by my side
Love comes close to you
Your love it makes me stronger
No matter what we're going through
I won't look back won't look won't look back
I won't look back won't look won't look back
I wish love was always this easy
But every now and then it brings us down
But I know that I can count on you
To keep the music playing on
Living it up, living it up, living it up
Life ain't a party, your the passion by my side
Living it up, living it up, living it up
Life ain't a party, your the passion by my side
Love comes close to you
Your love it makes me stronger
No matter what we're going through
I won't look back won't look won't look back
I won't look back won't look won't look back
The lyrics of Duke Dumont's song "Won't Look Back" express the strength and optimism that love can bring in times of struggle. The first verse conveys the idea that the love of someone close can make us stronger and more resilient, enabling us to face difficult situations without fear. The second verse suggests that love is not always easy, as it can "bring us down" at times, but even when things get tough, we can count on the support of our loved ones to keep us going. The chorus emphasizes the message that no matter what challenges we face, we should not dwell on the past or worry about the future, but instead focus on living in the moment and enjoying life with the ones we love.
The song is ultimately about the power of love to bring us together and give us hope. It celebrates the joy of living in the present and making the most of every moment, despite the uncertainties and difficulties of life. Through its upbeat tempo and catchy melody, the song encourages listeners to let go of the past and appreciate the present, with the help of the people who matter most to us.
