Need & Necessity
Whip

It is always a pleasure when a song bursts out of our city’s underbelly and warrants a write up here at TMN, and such was the case with Denver house duo Need & Necessity and their newest single “Whip”. This peak-hour primed underground tune starts off sounding similar to those classic house staples out of Detroit & Chicago during the late 90’s, but is coerced into deep territory through a series of groove-laden synths, pads and a distinct kick-clap pattern. Further emulsifying “Whip” was a faint vocal sample straight from The Notorious B.I.G., which is subdued enough as not to change the complexion of the track as a whole, but definitely adds some gangster gloss. “Whip” is being given away by Need & Necessity through Night Supply as a free Soundcloud download, so DJ’s and listeners alike, be sure to swoop this one up as Summer winds its way down and there are only a handful of those sweaty, half naked dance parties left.

Today we have a trio of club tracks from brand new Deep/Tech-House label Night Supply Records. Featuring contributions from three of Denver’s premier electronic taste-makers in the underground, Night x Night Vol. 1 was a breath of fresh air musically speaking and hopefully signals more good things to come out of our city’s club scene. option4, an artist previously featured here at TMN, sets the pace with a peak hour primed house tune “Ain’t Nothin’ Buddy”. With a vocal sample from Tupac & Snoop’s classic “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted” backed by an infectious house beat fit perfectly for a packed dance floor. “Ain’t Nothin’ Buddy” definitely sets the tone for the EP, and had our attention for its entirety. Brand new Deep and Tech-House duo Keepers‘ comes in with the sophomore contribution and take us a slightly more Summery direction with “Hello”. The deep cut is supported by a warm synth line and bongo percussion before scooting into a dancefloor friendly hook which had our heads bobbing to the beat in approval. Rounding out Night x Night Vol. 1 is a tune from one of the rising House and Techno pairs not just in Denver, but on the nation wide underground scene as well. Need & Necessity‘s “Love On” was produced in a way earmarked to display their knowledgeable and established deep club sound, but catchy enough to warrant an approving listen from even the most casual of electronic listeners.The three track extended play was definitely a solid debut for the fledgling label, and we will be sure to bring you more of what they have to offer as it becomes available. Things get even better from the Night Supply crew as they have offered up the downloads on Facebook for the hefty price of one “like”. Do yourself a favor and head on over and grab Night x Night Vol. 1 here.
