UK-born producer Deutsch Duke has whipped up something of a storm in his new home of Australia, collaborating with a number of local artists including current golden boys, Flight Facilities; lending his vocals to their latest single, "Down To Earth". Duke's new solo single, "Battleground", is masterful piece of atmospheric dance music with a glowering wall of low-end beneath his own breathtaking vocals. It can often prove perilous when a producer tries to cram in too many influences, but somehow, he manages to incorporate ambient textures with R&B vocals and a snappy deep house beat, and make it work. Listen to "Battleground" below, and hold tight for Deutsch Duke's as-yet-untitled EP out soon.
