Electronic Dance Music takes many forms, including Dusky, an electronic dance music duo from London made up of Alfie Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman.
Having come together to create music in 2011, the duo has released works on a variety of labels including Anjunadeep, Dogmatick Records and Naked Naked. They established their own label, ’17 Steps’ in July 2014, releasing the EP, “Love Taking Over”. They have honed a distinct style of techno music, incorporating influences from classical and jazz, and obscure electronica music. Their genre doesn’t discriminate, crossing over into various ventures, and bending their genre throughout their sound. They have been championed by BBC Radio 1 Alumnus Pete Tong and managed to earned themselves a place on an ‘album of the year’ chart in 2011. Rob Da Bank and Zane Lowe played them on BBC Radio 1 too.
It was the band’s track ”Careless” that reached number 1 on the Beatport chart and held on to the spot for the next three weeks. In 2014, along with the launch of their very own label ’17 Steps’, the tracks were played on Radio 1 by Annie Mac.
They have earned a reputation as being a live techno act too, having played at XOYO and Fabric, two of London’s most prestigious clubs. They also earned a residency at Ibiza’s ‘We Love…Sundays at Space’. Over the years, they have landed sets at festivals including Glastonbury, Pukkelpop and Electric Daisy Carnival.
In 2014 they released the highly anticipated “9T8” on School Records.
