UK duo Dusky make a triumphant return to Anjunadeep with their latest offering, Seagulls / The Mind—a release that reaffirms their status as masters of deep, immersive electronic music. With over a decade in the game and four studio albums under their belt, including the acclaimed Pressure and their seminal debut Stick By This, Dusky continue to push boundaries while staying true to their signature sound.

Their influence stretches far and wide, earning them consistent airplay on SiriusXM and BBC Radio 1, with none other than Pete Tong singling out their recent single Keep On as an Essential New Tune. Now, with Seagulls / The Mind, they deliver another masterclass in atmosphere and groove.

Seagulls is pure euphoria—a rich, expansive soundscape woven from shimmering synth textures and fluid, hypnotic percussion. There’s an effortless chemistry at play here, the kind that only comes from years of refining their craft. Having already sent waves through the dancefloors of London’s Phonox and Manchester’s Warehouse Project, this track feels like a moment of collective transcendence—light, soaring, and utterly transportive.

On the flip side, The Mind takes a darker, more pulsating route. A rolling bassline underpins the track’s shadowy atmosphere, while an ethereal vocal sample flickers through the mix like a distant memory. It’s deep, driving, and meticulously constructed, the kind of track that thrives in those late-night, locked-in moments. It’s no wonder Dusky continue to earn the respect of tastemakers like Jamie Jones, Peggy Gou, I. Jordan, and Interplanetary Criminal—this is electronic music at its most refined.

With Seagulls / The Mind, Dusky once again prove why they remain at the forefront of the scene. Effortlessly balancing nostalgia with innovation, melody with groove, and euphoria with introspection, this release is yet another jewel in their already glittering catalogue.
