Duke Dumont releases “I Need You Now” before new album ‘Union’ drops July 25 via Astralwerks.
British DJ and producer Duke Dumont has returned with his powerful new single, “I Need You Now”, a pulsing track that delivers both emotional depth and pure dancefloor energy. The track precedes his much-anticipated album Union, which will arrive July 25 via Astralwerks.
Blending soulful vocals and shimmering synth textures, “I Need You Now” is a euphoric house anthem that showcases Dumont’s talent for emotional resonance through rhythm. With its driving bassline and progressive structure, the track fits seamlessly into both club nights and open-air festival sets.
“I Need You Now” serves as a perfect bridge into Union, his first full-length album since 2020’s Duality, which marked a defining moment in his career. Union is expected to expand upon that creative groundwork, weaving elements of deep house and progressive dance into a record that celebrates unity and connection—both on and off the dancefloor.
Duke Dumont’s impact on electronic music is undeniable, with over 4 billion streams globally and UK #1 singles like “Need U (100%)” and “I Got U.” This year marks the 10th anniversary of his breakout hit “Ocean Drive,” which achieved platinum status in seven countries.
The release arrives during a busy summer for the DJ, who is scheduled to perform at Creamfields, Day Trip, District 8, and Bittersweet, before returning to the UK for sold-out October shows at Magazine London and Victoria Warehouse Manchester.
With his acclaimed performances at venues like Red Rocks and The Mirage, Dumont has evolved into a master of immersive electronic shows. “I Need You Now” only reinforces that he remains a key figure shaping the future of live dance music.
