Born Adam Dyment, Duke Dumont has been releasing tracks and remixes since 2007, but he exploded onto the worldwide dance music scene with the release of last year's "Need U (100%)," which delivered an update on the Detroit house movement of the late '80s personified by Kevin Saunderson's legendary act Inner City. The track entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 1.

Dumont followed that track with the even bigger "I Got U," an uplifting, estival tune that has the distinction of bringing steel drums onto the dance floor. Also topping the UK Singles Chart, his back-to-back singles success has turned up the pressure on the DJ/producer to craft his debut full-length album, which he's hard at work on finishing.

"I'm about 60-70% done with the album. My goal is to have it done sometime in the summer and then release it in the fall," he said during a recent phone interview. "There are quite a lot of collaborations on the album. The stage I'm at now is working with lots of vocalists and capturing the best performances I can from them.

"'I Got U' and 'Need U' are quite big radio songs," Dumont pondered when asked about what fans can expect from the full-length. "There might be one or two songs like that released as the next single before the album, but the album is going to be a lot more dynamic. It's not going to just be chart radio songs. There will be more dimensions to the tracks. I want to show more of my diversity, that's the goal. It's going to be a range of stuff on there."

There's no indication if Dumont's anthemic new single, "Won't Look Back" (set for UK release on his own Blas� Boys Club label August 5; a U.S. release date on Astralweks is forthcoming) will be included on his album, but the song's soaring vocals and percolating old-school house rhythm is sure to ignite many a dance floor with its energy that recalls '90s divas such as Martha Wash and Crystal Waters.
