Duke Dumont — Adam Dyment — got his start in the early 2000s remixing Lily Allen and Bat for Lashes, mentored early on by Switch, the producer behind records for Beyoncé and M.I.A. That apprenticeship shows up in how polished his own productions eventually became.
'Need U (100%),' his 2013 single, went to No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart and picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording — the song that turned him from a working remixer into a headlining name, followed by 'I Got U' and 'Ocean Drive.' He also releases under Blasé Boys Club, the label and alias he built to keep that side of his output separate from his own name.
