If you've been craving that deep house track that just hits different—the one that makes everything feel like it’s finally falling into place—then Under Above just delivered. “Need Now” is pure feelgood energy wrapped in warm vocals and an uplifting groove that sticks with you long after the track ends.
Right from the jump, this deep house cut from Under Above (the project of Dutch producer and DJ Xandor) feels built for the dancefloor and the playlist at the same time. It’s commercial in the best way: accessible, energetic, and instantly familiar without ever sounding generic. The uplifting groove locks in early, the warm vocals ride the wave perfectly, and the whole thing has that polished, playlist-ready shine that labels like Vokall Records love. Think House Supreme, Hot New Dance, Funky House vibes—this one slots right in.
What makes “Need Now” stand out in today’s deep house scene is how it captures that rare moment of rediscovery. The track is all about reclaiming a long-lost feeling, the kind where everything suddenly clicks again. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel; it’s refining the classic deep house formula with solid production and catchy, original top-lines. In a time when dance music is leaning harder into emotional, groove-driven tracks that work both in clubs and on streaming, Under Above is right on the pulse.
And Xandor isn’t some newcomer dipping his toes in. Under Above has already racked up over three million streams across Spotify and Apple Music, with releases on respected imprints like Be Yourself Music, Vokall Records, 2-Dutch, Storm Music Group, and Milkshake. After graduating from the Minor Dance Industry program at Fontys University of Arts in Tilburg, he teamed up with Belgian live act Calumny for “Shooting Star” in 2020. That track landed in Spotify’s editorial playlists 360 Dance and Hot New Dance and picked up support from heavy hitters like Mike Williams, Laidback Luke, Revealed Recordings, and Spinnin’ Records.
One of his biggest career moments? Landing a slot between Gorgon City and Shaun Frank at the SLAM Mixmarathon. He’s also played proper stages—Club Up in Amsterdam, OpDreef Festival, RNB Sunday Festival, Blessed Festival, and Amsterdam Dance Event. Lately his releases on Be Yourself Music and Vokall Records are pushing a fresher sound, and he’s steadily carving out space among the bigger house names. On stage he’s the high-energy house act; in the studio he’s the experienced producer who knows how to balance both.
“Need Now” is already proving itself in the real world. It’s picking up serious traction on TikTok through Under Above’s own account, and Xandor recently dropped it live at the big indoor festival Nonchalance in the Netherlands. The crowd went wild—exactly the reaction you hope for when a track is built this well.
Deep house right now is having a moment where warm, melodic, feelgood cuts are cutting through the noise. Tracks that feel human, that give you that little emotional lift while still packing a proper groove. “Need Now” lives right in that sweet spot. It’s the kind of song that DJs can drop at golden hour or peak time and watch the floor light up.
