Manchester-based Duke & Jones have established themselves as one of the most forward-thinking acts in the industry. The DJ/producer duo prove they don’t need record labels or big co-signs to make waves – instead, they let the music speak for itself. “Less Is More” is the inspiration behind their unique signature sound, which is characterized by minimalistic elements that embrace the power of silence & anticipation.
The duo have an unconventional approach for not only getting their music heard, but also connecting with fans. They were the first act to premiere an EP on OnlyFans, where they received homepage placement & full social support for funny ASMR edits. Their “adding auto-tune to random videos” TikTok series has become a global viral sensation. Proving their brand is more than just music, their YouTube channel hosts a hilarious array of content, such as “Omegle Reviews” & “Duke vs Jones” vids, where they prank each other. With such an impressive list of achievements, it’s evident why Billboard named them an emerging act to watch in 2020.
They seemingly came out of nowhere in 2016, & quickly emerged as UK-icons, helping propel the Manchester-scene to a fresh, worldwide spotlight. With a knack for pushing boundaries & blurring lines between genres, D&J are ushering in a new wave of creativity.
