Description: Dusky are London based musicians Alfie Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman.

Influenced by everything from classical and jazz to avant-garde electronica, the duo’s emphasis on musical depth rather than genre restrictions has seen their compositions played by DJs as diverse as Pete Tong, Vincenzo, Zane Lowe, MJ Cole, Dubfire, Sasha and Laurent Garnier. “Yoohoo” is a driving track that captures a gorgeous vocal, laid over a piano riff that would make Beethoven proud.
