MOONBOY’s latest release, “Need U,” is a breathtaking fusion of ethereal vocals and high-energy drum and bass, showcasing the artist’s evolution beyond his heavy bass roots. The track has already created a significant buzz on social media, with tens of millions of views and countless user-generated videos on platforms like Instagram and TikTok even before its official release. The viral success of “Need U” sparked a bidding war among major record labels, with Atlantic Records ultimately securing the release under their Asylum Records imprint. This single stands out as one of the few influential drum and bass records produced in the US in 2022, pushing the boundaries of the genre and expanding the scope of American electronic music. Straddling the lines between Liquid D&B, Melodic Drum and Bass, and Electronic Pop, “Need U” delivers a fresh sound that appeals to a wide audience. Its crossover potential is evident in the diverse range of support it has received from industry heavyweights, including Steve Aoki, Ghastly, Joyryde, Luude, Hardwell, Virtual Riot, Kayzo, Excision, Borgore, and even Nintendo.
