Reflections of the past | Sounds of the future 

We are an underground independent label looking to bring music to the scene that reflect the timeless sounds from the halcyon days in dance music whilst ensuring listeners hear sounds they’ve never heard before.

Emergence is our 2nd release and we have signed some tracks and artists which we feel are pushing the sounds of the UK underground forward, Incl. the unstoppable Interplanetary Criminal.
The tracks on the EP resonate rave memories, with darker sinister sounds and thundering basslines of jungle, emerging into euphoric breaks and bubbling UKG.

4 track 12" Vinyl only (digital download codes in sleeves).

Release date 23rd October.

Peace n love,

D.S.W.M.(For Helen)

This track is written in memory of my sister Hannah, who took Her own life 8 years ago.  

It will be released on the 21st of May and all proceeds with go to Mind the Mental Health Charity.

She was an artist and an incredible person, whose creativity knew no limits, whose depth was unfathomable and whose ability to comprehend... limitless.

Everyone needs an anchor when they loose themselves beyond the realms of everyone else, unfortunately Hannah didn't have one.

Hannah - 03.06.1985 - 21.05.2010

Stars (For Hannah)

A tribute to my raving days.  Heavy four four and breakbeat element with some essential piano.  It's ruff and ready!

cold nights and warm happenings…”

The Kollect series highlights Needwant's year in music, combined with some exclusives from producers we have tipped for a great 2019. Collectively bringing together some of the most sought after producers for remixes and combining them with Needwant's unique A&R, it's been a strong year for the London based label. 

Year on year Needwant is continuously pushing the boundaries of electronic and dance music and bringing artists to the forefront of the scene, from London to Vancouver, Los Angeles to Berlin and beyond.

2018 saw the likes of Luces (a collaboration project from acclaimed producers Amtrac and Plastic Plates), Berlin's underground cult hero Johannes Albert, multi-instrumentalist and production maestro Kemback and Vancouver's finest young export Iain Howie join the Needwant family. There was also room for the return of Kim Brown to the label with their EP 'Pleasuredome Continuum'. We also welcomed two of our favourite producers to lend their hand on remix duty in the form of Whitesquare and Soulphiction. 

The exclusives on the latest volume of Kollect come from the likes of Joe Morris (Clandestino) who delivers a hazy house groover, Needwant alumni Algorythm weighs in with the heavy hitting, club ready 'Medusa', whilst British-born Tel Aviv based COHN (Kitsune) features with 'Rhodes House'. Monologues owner and Turned On podcast host Ben Gomori's 'Colour Communication' is a piano laden funky house cut and rounding off is newcomer Upstart with the dreamy 'First Flowers of Spring'.

Upstart - The First Flowers In Spring

A side project to my electronic and house stuff is a love of oldskool hardcore and that sound of the analogue tape packs i used to be obsessed with.  This is a free download.  Hope you enjoy!
