Duke Dumont’s “Nightcrawler” Music Video is a Nostalgic Race Through the Streets of LA
When Duke Dumont dropped the curtain on his Duality LP back in April, there is no doubt he knew he had a hit on his hands.

Duke Dumont Reimagines “Nightcrawler” with Sultry Acoustic Offering

Just a few months ago, the Grammy-nominated producer released his debut album Duality and he has recently been releasing its accompanying remixes, with the acoustic reimagining of his after-hours hit “Nightcrawler” as his latest offering.

Stripping away the drums and electric guitar, Duke Dumont has replaced every element of the track except Say Lou Lou‘s soothing vocals. The funky electric guitar riff has been replaced with a soft yet plucky acoustic guitar, while the hook has been bolstered by a li...
