Listen to Destructo, MxNxSTxR, Channel Tres and Thundercat's Breezy Collab, "What You Need"

In a dance music landscape overflowing with formulaic collabs, Destructo has teamed up with MxNxSTxR (Ty Dolla $ign’s electronic alter ego) for “What You Need,” a track that delivers exactly what its title promises.

They brought along Thundercat and Channel Tres for the ride, forming some sort of musical Avengers team trapped in a studio during a pandemic-era writing session. What makes this collaboration special isn’t just the star power, but how organically it came together back then—four virtuosic artists jamming in a room (when rooms were all we had) and building something that captures both lockdown dreaminess and post-pandemic release.

“What You Need” took years to escape from that studio but feels like it was worth every moment of the wait. The track marries Destructo and MxNxSTxR’s club sensibilities with Thundercat’s guitar flourishes and Tres’ characteristic cool-as-ice delivery, delivering a breezy disco groover that feels like roller skating through Venice Beach at golden hour.
