August 29th, BlackMagik/MegaDebt present,,,,, 'Duke Dumont' + Special guests!! August 29th, MegaDebt is proud to present,,,,, 'Duke Dumont' + Special guests!! Touching down in Newcastle. When you consider that his dad is the proud owner of one of the UK’s largest record collections, it seems like it was almost predestined that Duke Dumont (real name Adam Dyment) would develop something of an unhealthy obsession with music. However not content to simply trainspot and collect records, he took the fixation one step beyond fandom by forging an enviable reputation as one of the dance music scene’s most exciting new producers. Winning the Diesel U Music Award in 2006, the accolade put him in good stead to begin his career with the lineage of previous winners – such as Mylo, DJ Yoda and Infadels – speaking for itself. Faced with several record labels wishing to sign him more or less on the spot, Duke instead chose to hone his musical chops and he’s now releasing on some of the underground dance scene’s most revered labels. Of course only after he tore through the industry with a raft of stunning remixes for the likes of Missy Elliot, Mekon, Jesse Garcia and the massive 'Deacon' track by Idiotproof (aka Jamie Anderson & Deepgroove). His debut EP was unleashed on Tiga’s Turbo label in 2007, and it spawned one of recent years most defining tracks with ‘Lean & Bounce’. He’s now in the process of putting out his second release, an EP through Switch’s Dubsided imprint appropriately titled ‘Dominion Dubs’containing possibly THE most talked about and hyped track of the year so far, the indisputably HUGE sound of 'Hoy!' Due to his current status as probably the most in demand producer and remixer in the UK he's currently juggling a heavy gig schedule stretching between LA, Australia, Japan mainland Europe and squeezing in some much needed studio downtime in label boss Dave 'Switch' Taylor's new Los Angeles set up, only making only playing a handful of gig's in this country between now and October only making exclusive appearances at The V Festival, Adventures In The Beetroot Field, Fabric,,,, and of course with us at BlackMagik, so as you can see this is guaranteed to be a little bit special!! You really cannot afford to miss this as it's probably the last chance you'll get to catch him in a more intimate club before he really blows up! You have been warned. Keep it WELL 'regal' till then innit! http://www.myspace.com/blackmagikclub
