Dante shares A powerful return via UK label Bad Parrot
From the first note, “Need You” from German artist Dance means business. layered with modern experimental flourishes that sound straight out of an Overmono or Bicep rulebook, it’s a two-step bass-rich piece of electronica with influences across jungle & dubstep. Guided by meticulous production, Dante seamlessly weaves together heartfelt lyrics and evocative melodies to create a listening experience that lingers long after the song ends.
“Need you is a song about the feeling of wanting to have someone around you. The person gives a feeling full of energy and bubbling joie de vivre, but despite everything there is also a hint of fear in the excitement of vulnerability. The composition of the sounds reflects this. The balance between the heaviness of the bass and the lightness of the vocals show this contrast. In addition, the drums have many special layers that have been incorporated into the production. Like my voice or a click on wood to make the sound organic.“ – Dante
Spitfire audio Impressionism review
The track’s brilliance lies in its layered contrasts. A commanding, pulsating bassline provides a sense of gravity, while chopped, airy vocals and shimmering chords inject moments of lightness. This duality perfectly mirrors the theme of the song: the euphoria of longing for someone and the vulnerability that comes with it. Dante’s careful attention to detail shines through, with organic elements—such as subtle vocal inflections and the sound of wood clicks—adding a tactile, almost human quality to the production.
Dante’s description of the song as an exploration of “energy and bubbling joie de vivre” tempered by “a hint of fear” is reflected in every element of the track. The dynamic interplay of heavy, driving rhythms and delicate, ethereal touches creates an emotional push-and-pull that is both captivating and deeply relatable.
