The first things that struck us about Duke Dumont, aka Adam Dyment upon first meet at Hideout Festival, were both his honesty and his integrity. To put it simply, he\u2019s a cool guy who\u2019s down to earth. Having taken three flights from Ibiza to reach Croatia for the occasion, Dumont described the journey in his own words as a \u2018nightmare\u2019. But when you\u2019ve got a few thousand eager fans awaiting your set on the main stage one hundred feet away, it\u2019s hard to stay dampened for long.<\/p>\n

Having entered the singles chart at no,1 with his underground track \u2018Need You (100%) amidst the Electronic Renaissance Dumont, much like Disclosure, is pioneering a revival of UK Garage for the mainstream, unheard of since the \u201890s. Describing UKG as his Baptism, this is a man who knows what he is talking about and having been DJ\u2019ing for seventeen years \u2013 it shows. We caught up with the man himself to talk Hideout Festival, Chicago House foundations, his summer residency at Sankeys Ibiza and conquering Japan.<\/p>\n
