It’s always a pleasure to have a return visit from one of the Needwant family and for Needw019 it’s PBR man, Bonar Bradberry who delivers a stunning EP to top his last Needwant offering. You Were Away was originally an instrumental, so when we suggested a vocal, we didn’t expect it to come from Mr Bradberry himself. Being locked away in that studio has obviously not allowed the true voice to come out, as Bonar delivers a husky and whispered vocal that perfectly matches the laidback vibe of the music. Hamburg’s Space Ranger step up for the remix and while they keep the vocal intact, they opt for a purely heads down tempo and late night hypnotic vibe.

Tracklist:

1. You Were Away
2. You Were Away (Instrumental)
3. You Were Away (Space Ranger Hypno Remix)
4. Lip Therapy
5. Lip Therapy (Maxxi Soundsystem Yeh Yeh Remix)

The Make Or Break EP flawlessly exhibits the unique genre crossing production style of Maxxi Soundsystem. Catchy classic vocals, powerful house grooves and an infusion of genres ranging from vintage New York and Chicago to garage and modern day disco sum up Maxxi Soundsystem's first ever EP and Needwant debut.

Tracklist:

1. Make Or Break
2. There's No Love
3. Never Stop
