Walker & Royce have reunited with their breakout label, DIRTYBIRD, to deliver āNeed2Freekā to the masses. The silky new singleāthe pairās first original release of the yearāis a testament to the polished house sound theyāve built out over the years, landing on the deeper side of their artistic spectrum.
āNeed2Freekā opens with classic rave keyboard chords, passed through lo-fi filtering and paired with 8-bit inspired riffs to stir a sense of nostalgia in its listeners. Mantric vocals sit at the trackās center, encouraging movement with lines like āIāll never stop dancing.ā Walker & Royce have ultimately served up a slice of euphoria that works equally well on the socially distanced dancefloor as it does for at home listening.
The single makes for a fitting end to a busy year for the outfit, whoāve been hard at work developing their new Twitch channel, GOOD TV, which they run with Justin Martin, Christian Martin, Ardalan, and VNSSA. Theyāve also maintained their Insomniac residency through Rules Donāt Apply Radio, regularly supplying the airwaves with fresh mixes and guest mixes from their friends and colleagues. Outside their streaming endeavors, Walker & Royce reached another career milestone in being tapped to remix Godmodeās Channel Tres for his hit single, āController.āThey also helped Diplo launch Higher Ground with the deep house-facing labelās debut EP, āRave Grave.ā
