Duke Dumont, Nathan Nicholson 'Losing Control' on EMI

An edit finds function in the rhythm. It leans on structure but can also be about feeling and a change in energy; perhaps it can turn a harder mix towards reflection, or pull a scene from the club into a moment of release. In that sense Duke Dumont's recent transmissions do exactly what an edit should. These are mixes to be carried by chords that roll wide, for the still-bright air of Lisbon and the city light of Berlin in high summer. One chart placed 'Losing Control' first of 14 on 14 July and the edit is in the lane that feels it.

Track notes say the song rarely sits on drums for very long, it moves through the mind and stays with the voice. The memory returns to Nathan Nicholson's low-burning presence, the pull of it on each chorus. The disc is melodic and it sings.
