Dusky are London production duo Nick Harriman and Alfie Granger-Howell. The duo have asserted themselves as leaders of the UK underground. BBC Essential Mix of The Year contenders, DJ Mag cover stars, headliners everywhere from Berlin's Panorama Bar to London's Fabric, Dusky's story so far is one of constant forward motion and a uniquely universal appeal. The duo's breakthrough track was undoubted

ly 2012's iTunes Dance Single Of The Year 'Flo Jam'. Signed by the label that broke Maya Jane Coles (Dogmatik), its deep grooves were hammered by everyone from Loefah, Joy Orbison and Boddika to Disclosure, Jamie Jones and Sasha, with even Calvin Harris getting in on the act. Since those formative releases marked them out as talents destined for the top, Dusky have pushed their sound forward every step of the way. There have been Italo bassline meets Belgian rave vibes on Running Back, rugged warehouse techno excursions on Loefah's School and classy melodic grooves on Anjunadeep. But, it was ‘Careless’ on Aus that cemented their place in the scene's hall of fame. Over 14 million streams, definitive UK house banger of its era and soundtrack to countless crack-ons ever since. In 2017, the duo launched their 17 Steps label, taking control of this unique identity and giving it the unrestricted platform it deserves. JOY, their debut album on the imprint, amassed over 6 million streams with ‘Eros’, the most streamed track on the LP, paving way for their new garage project Pressure. A musical excursion looking back to their formative years and early productions that were heavily influenced by UK and US garage. Whatever musical sub-strain Dusky turn their hands to, there is always a strong common thread - a signature depth and detailing. A stamp of quality, that makes for an instantly recognisable 'Dusky' sound.

Our brand new 4 track E.P. “Tales from the Power Hour” is out today 🚨

These were a blast to make. We wanted the 4 tracks to represent four different sides of the music we’re enjoying making and playing in our DJ sets recently. Manticore is a 140bpm melodic, bass heavy, rave inspired number with an Electro twist. Percy Veering is a vocal house jam that harks back to some of the earliest Dusky tracks, while Heart Trance Plant is our most explicitly trance-influenced track to date, inspired by mid-90s trance artists like Cygnus X. Finally, Strong Tackle takes influence from Acid Techno and various 00s UK techno strains. All 4 have been well and truly tried and tested on the dance-floor and have earned the seal of approval from crowds at our recent shows.

Available on all streaming and download sites now 🔊

Thanks to everybody who’s been streaming and buying this one, “Our Love” is the 2nd track from our Lord of the Ring Roads EP.

“Our Love” is a tribute to classic house, started on a laptop on a flight to the USA, and later finessed in the Dusky studio, though it was one of those ones where it felt like it wrote itself in that nothing much changed from the original sketch. It’s part classic Chicago house, part New Jersey, but also has elements of the UK garage-adjacent house we used to hear on pirate radio growing up.

On that note, a short story part. 2:

LORD OF THE RING ROADS: THE TWO TOWER BLOCKS

Bilbo tightens the final screw of the new radio transmitter on top of the second tower block. He smiles - The Shire finally had a pirate radio station. He does a celebratory shuffle but a misplaced step back and suddenly he slips. He falls several floors until Gandalf saves the day riding a giant pigeon. A quick text on the Nokia to Frodo who turns on the radio in his flat the other side of the valley. Coming through loud and clear! Precious FM 107.2 finally live. Old Skool? Nazgûl? No, strictly House music. House of Gondor 24/7. Last few bars of “Battle For Middle You” and then Dusky’s “Our Love” comes on. B3 organ stabs cutting through the traffic noise. Their work here is done.

Very happy to announce our next London show will take place at on the 28th March, where we’ll be playing an extended set..

It also coincides with Alfie’s birthday, so if you don’t come, he will take personal offence.

Very excited to announce our “Lord of the Ring Roads” EP is out today! Been hammering these ones in our DJ sets all over Middle Earth.

LORD OF THE RING ROADS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RAVE, a short story:

The sodium streetlights reflected in the dashboard of Bilbo’s battered Vauxhall Astra. Frodo gripped the dog-eared “Handy Road Atlas of Great Britain” tightly, the wind from the broken passenger side window fluttering the pages. SQ80 and M1 Pianos crackled on the radio. There had been many roads on this journey. One does not simply walk into a rave. Still they searched. A warning light flashed. Fuel tank nearly empty. 40 miles from home. A long way from the Shire. The last junction approached.

Suddenly they heard the sound system, the sweet subharmonic frequencies mixing with the breakbeats. This was it, the rave of all raves. The final rave. Cast it into the fire they said. But first, one last dance. Lasers piercing the sky. Big fish little fish cardboard box. What’s your name and what you on. Never come down. Hardcore will never die. Pianos and more pianos. Pure Euphoria. They say ring roads never end. It’s true. One ring road to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.

Been lucky enough to join forces as a triple threat of Dusky Farsight and Manga Saint Hilare for our track ‘Work’ out today on FABRICLIVE 🔥

The beat started with Farsight in the Dusky studio, as a kind of UK take on classic Detroit Electro. It became the perfect bed for Manga’s vocals - it’s kind of a UK take on classic Detroit Electro. It’s been doing the damage in recent DJ sets

Thanks to fabric for putting it out & catch Dusky at the club on July 4th

'Keep On (Club Dub)' is out today on 17 Steps. We made an alternate version to better fit the vibe of our DJ sets compared to the original, deeper mix. We’ve always loved the way classic house records often had a few versions of a track on a release, and in homage to that we thought the original of Keep On deserved a re-work.

As you were. Keep On ❤️
