On his official full-length debut, English electronic dance producer Duke Dumont extracts the nostalgic spirit of 90s crossover house, updating it on festival-sized anthems that are so uplifting they verge on the religious. Duality arrived after over a decades worth of EP and club compilation releases, featuring some of his most popular singles like the platinum-certified, Weeknd-esque synth-funk smash Ocean Drive and the propulsive The Power with Zak Abel. If Play-era Moby merged with peak period Groove Armada and Swedish House Mafia, the results would come close to the heights Dumont hits on Duality. From the ecstatic and appropriately titled Therapy to the pulsing dystopian propaganda of Obey with Roland Clark, the urgent yearning of Love Song, and the classically inspired Overture, the LP is a brisk and invigorating ride, a jolt of physical energy and soulful depth that doesnt wear out its welcome and provides just enough for listeners to crave even more. There isnt a wasted second on Duality and the result is a nourishing fix that offers an emotional alternative to any ephemeral electronic dance fluff. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
