For our next mix, versatile and talented local DJ MEG 4x4 offers up a beautiful selection of sunny house, breakbeat and drum & bass, drifting between loungey, melodic, chuggy and percussive elements that are all masterfully mixed together. Enjoy!

Altered State Is an 8 track collaborative VA which reflects on a year that has changed all of our lives in many ways. After months of lockdown away from nightclubs we began to sense that dance music lacked context and became more nostalgic. As producers we were drawn to slower tempo’s and we wanted to conceptualise these feelings of disillusionment onto a record that would be released as lockdown eased and life returned to ‘’normal’’. The E.P is designed to introduce us back into the clubbing state of mind with downtempo tracks that are melancholic, experimental and up-lifting. Tracks which will ease you into a night out and warm up the cold abandoned dance-floors. 
This project is raising money for MIND charity with profits from the release.

PREMIERE | Harry Oscillate - Parallel Q [Late Night Drum Club] 2021

Dipzy & Lejune team up on “Shake The Funk,” laying down a crisp minimal groove with thick low-end and percussive flair. Vocal flicks and tight stabs give it bite without clutter. Everything lands with purpose — clean, confident, and built to move.

This year marks 3 years of Needs.

Since humble beginnings in 2017, the label has gone on to release tracks from some of our favourite artists in the scene, as well curating events with essential charities and initiatives such as UN Women's HeForShe campaign, and also Earth Day.

To mark this special occasion we’re back where it all started, raising money and awareness for mental health. October 10th marks World Mental Health Day and this year's theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health is suicide prevention. To recognise and promote this occasion we’ve brought along another all-star cast to help us spread the message far and wide.

Needs 008 is a double vinyl compilation which features the talents of ​Shanti Celeste​, ​OCB​, ​Michelle​, ​Bobby.​, Peder Mannerfelt​, ​Yu Su​, ​Adam Pits​ and ​DJ Sports​.

Stay tuned to the Needs channels during our birthday month for regular updates, plus panels and artist features.

We’d also like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone that has supported us this far: especially Juno Records, For The Record PR, all the artists that have kindly donated music, and of course the music lovers, dancers and forward thinkers that have supported us on this wonderful journey <3

Bugs Groove on Melodic Distraction [18/12/2020]

What does dancing mean to you?
•
"What's great about dancing is that there's no right way to do it. Everyone just picks up what they do naturally, which is nice and also sometimes really hilarious. I wouldn't say I think too much about dancing, it's obviously liberating in ways, but for me, it's more 'how the fuck do you stand still?' when there are good tunes on."

After a string of self-releases alongside outputs on @silver-bear-recordings and @dansudiscs, the young London-based artist Zaltsman has had an interesting year like many of us and looks onto 2021 with the hope of new projects to come. Following his usual style, he presents us with an eclectic mix to our series, weaving together a dynamic range of soundscapes and forward-thinking club selections tinged with UK-influenced rhythms.

Aspetuck's debut Lagaffe Tales EP 'Tonic' holds 4 airy and subtle numbers that give you the feeling you're floating through time without no worries. 
The energy builds up slowly right from the start with hypnotizing 'Crystal Clear' grooves which sets the mood for what's coming. 
Tonic EP is a journey through soundscapes that are familiar but still foreign somehow, kind of like a dream that you've just woken up from.
