As a DJ, Duke Dumont's many hours behind the decks gave him a keen idea of how best to frame an arresting hook—particularly a looped vocal refrain—for euphoric impact. His sunny 2014 hit "I Got U" recast fragments of a Whitney Houston song into a Caribbean summer smash, and the tasteful house piano in "Won't Look Back" adds disco drama to a scorching soul vocal. His artfully deconstructive remixes for artists like Bat for Lashes are a lesson in gleeful minimalism, echoing the approach of earlier house tracks such as "Thunder Clap".
