Dusky - Signals

The London duo first debuted on Anjunadeep in 2011 with their critically acclaimed album, Stick By This. Expanding the boundaries of deep house and UK club music, the record marked the beginning of Dusky’s rise as one of the scene’s most respected acts.

While Signals represents a natural continuation of the Dusky story, it also ventures into more reflective territory than previous releases. The album's wider range of influences and more contemplative mood offer a fresh perspective on the duo's sound, while also paying subtle homage to their acclaimed debut album ‘Stick By This’.

Featuring multiple collaborations with vocalist Rromarin, alongside a contribution from Nadeem and Pritt, Signals reflects a creative process that unfolded over many years. Some tracks grew from ideas first sketched long ago, while others emerged more recently, giving the album a sense of both history and momentum.

Across its 13 tracks, Signals balances Dusky's club-rooted instincts with downtempo offerings. Tracks such as 'Next Life', 'Kadhalan' and 'Lab' showcase the duo's signature combination of bold basslines, driving rhythms and emotional resonance. Elsewhere, 'Elm', 'Bindweed' and 'Crosby Stills Nashville' slow the tempo and draw on the warmth of 1970s soul, the deeper edges of disco and richly textured live instrumentation.
