Karate (Need & Necessity Remix)
Perhaps the single most satisfying occurrence as a music writer -especially for a publication which prides itself on breaking artists before anyone else- is seeing acts with whom you’ve been enamored with evolve from releasing free tunes on their soundcloud to putting out music on some of your favorite labels. Such has been the case with Denver based house duo Need & Necessity whose latest record, an official remix for Porsches’ new single “Karate”, has been snapped up by tastemaking Australian dance imprint Sweat It Out! Music (also home to acts like RÜFÜS, Motez, Cassian, Yolanda Be Cool and What So Not) . Over the past few years we’ve had the pleasure of witnessing a steady ascension from the pair, and their latest remix offering is perhaps their best yet. Taking a deeply underground approach to their revision, N&N breaks down “Karate” into a club-ready jacker through the tactful implementation of rumbling sub-bass and their signature shuffled hi-hats before it gives way to a pounding synth line and one of the biggest grooves we’ve heard in a hot minute. With their last EP release, Patience, being picked up by another one of our favorite labels, Sleazy Deep, and now their Sweat It Out! debut, we’re expecting even bigger things from Need & Necessity as the year winds down.
Stream Need & Necessity’s “Karate” remix above, and be on the lookout for even more house gems from the assiduous duo in the near future.
