The Disclosure boys and “Latch” vocalist Sam Smith were the most recent guests for Sara Cox’s BBC Radio 1 live show and they decided to share a cover of none other than Duke Dumont’s smasher “Need U (100%)” as a special treat to listeners. Not like Disclosure really needed any more notoriety this week (let’s not forget Settle was released only two days ago), but this is certainly just further proof of the raw talent of these three. Enjoy the video here and the stream of the radio rip below.
Back in January, Duke Dumont dropped “Need U (100%)” on Blasé Boys Club, and now the groovy, deep disco track has gotten the Skream treatment. Just what the “Skream treatment” entails has come to change over the past few months. After going back-to-back with Disclosure in the Boiler Room, releasing the soulful Kreepin’, and recently previewing his newest house original “Bang That,” we are witnessing the dawning of a new Skream. His take on Duke Dumont’s “Need U (100%)” is a resplendent and genial house remix on the cheerful vocal track: a dazzling declaration of his new direction. Skream’s remix of “Need U (100%)” will be released on March 31st.
With chart-topping releases like “Street Walker” and “The Giver” tucked firmly under his belt, British house producer Duke Dumont has returned to the production front with his latest installment, “Need U (100%).” The track, an inaugural outing on the Blasé Boys Club imprint, is supported by A*M*E’s delicate feminine vocals on top of a well-produced nu-disco/house cut. This floor-friendly track is packed with groovy synth work that is punchy in all the right places. If you haven’t hopped on the Duke Dumont wagon yet, make sure to check out his recent Essential Mix debut where he showcases exactly what he’s all about.
