Alfred Beck, Need You

Alfred Beck’s “Need You” came out on Zerothree on June 21, 2024. It sits at 124 BPM and in the key of 12B.

The core of the track is the bassline. It’s actually written for the key instead of just shoved up loud to hit harder on a phone speaker. That means it carries the melody as much as the chords do. The vocal sample is short and gets chopped up, the drums stay tight, and the whole thing has that sun-bleached, after-hours melodic house feel.

The extended mix is fine if you need the extra runway for a mix, but it doesn’t add anything new, so the radio cut is the one to grab.
