"An intoxicating album, full of life and flashes of brilliance"**** DJ Magazine
With the release of Dusky’s diverse debut album “Stick By This” LP, Anjunadeep's boundaries are being redrawn once again. Ambitious, expansive but brilliantly cohesive, “Stick By This” joins the dots between Booka Shade’s melodic electronica (“Falling”), Leftfield’s dub techno (“I’m Running”), the classic musicality of MJ Cole (“Lost In You”) and warm Laurent Garnier-esque techno (“Need You Back”).
Adding further colour to the album’s spectrum, the album’s first single - “Lost In You” - is a deep, bass-driven piano house anthem that features the soulful vocals of Janai and has gained props from US house godfather Tony Humphries and UK bass talent Toddla T – the latter supporting the track BBC Radio 1.
Finding fans at opposite ends of the dance music spectrum is nothing new for the Dusky duo. Previously existing as progressive/melodic house entity Solarity, Dusky are London based musicians Alfie Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman. As comfortable writing elegant orchestral pieces or stirring piano motifs as they are jackin’ garage house and epic techno grooves, their diverse sounds are united by the duo’s singular aim – to compose electronic music with depth, soul and originality.
