What I Need (Extended Mix)

Thomas H, better known by his stage name BigBangingBeater, is an Indian-American DJ who is known for his hot elements on the house music scene and his genres include tech house, afro house, latin house, funky house, melodic house, minimal/deep tech, UK garage, & bass house. His type of music has already gained support from labels such as Toolroom, Toolroom Trax, Make The Girls Dance, Catch & Release, Nervous, Hellbent, Golden Recordings, Solid Grooves, Solid Grooves Raw, Wh0 Plays, Wh0 Worx, Drop Low, Experts Only, AETERNA, Afterlife, & HoTL. When he was 8, his father challenged him to a "Battle Of The Beaters" competition. They were both doing 2 completely different genres, but that didn't stop Thomas from winning. In his father's words, "He beat me. By far. And the older he got, the more sub-genres of house there were. Many years later, he even came up with his own motto. "If you just stand there, you've got nothing. If you dance, you've got everything." This got the attention of very many people, & those people agreed with him. The top-chart trendsetter became a hit. With how hype his beats are, and how well fans support him, and how banging his beats really are, BigBangingBeater is practically unstoppable. He started producing in 2022 and has been making hits ever since. 'Cause as his fam and friends say "T doesn't miss." If anyone else new is droppin' bombs on SoundCloud this summer, it's BigBangingBeater. Listen to BigBangingBeater now on SoundCloud and eat his beats' heat! When BigBangingBeater was young, he had inspiration from tech classics like Mark Knight, Carl Cox, & all those. He hoped one day he could go worldwide with his beats, and let's just say he achieved that goal. He was chasing his dream and he caught what he was chasing. (metaphor!) Give him anything with a smooth kick, a background snare pattern, a groovy clap, quiet closed hi-hats, a sick open hi-hat, probably some groovy percussion, a soft but banging shaker, even a low velocity rimshot, a bassline-upping drop, flowing vocals, maybe even a trumpet, and a soft synth pluck, and he'll be happy.

DJ, Grammy-nominated producer and label owner Mark Knight is one of the most celebrated electronic artists of his generation with an impressive 200 Million + global streams to his name. His career has spanned close to two decades, with releases on a diverse range of world-leading labels such as Sony, Warner & Ministry of Sound, through to cool independents such as Cooking Vinyl, BBE, Elrow and of course Toolroom.
