Destructo Teams Up With MxNxSTxR For A New Track

Destructo gives young sounds in EDM a place by sidestepping with the MxNxSTxR. The veteran producer has joined forces with the enigmatic electronic alias of Ty Dolla $ign for “What You Need”. A sleek, groove-laced single that delivers a much-needed jolt of originality to the dance floor.

The track isn’t just a meeting of two minds; it’s a full-on supergroup moment. Joining Destructo and MxNxSTxR are the ever-eclectic Thundercat and the unflappably stylish Channel Tres. Together, they conjure the kind of effortless chemistry that can’t be manufactured. The track itself is the result of spontaneous studio sessions that date back to the lockdown era. A time when creativity thrived in confined spaces, and time felt suspended.

There’s a palpable intimacy in “What You Need”, a track that somehow distills that isolation-era haze into something vibrant and sun-drenched.

Thus, Thundercat’s signature bass work weaves through the beat like silk. Meanwhile, Channel Tres lays down vocals with the charisma that could soundtrack a summer evening in L.A. The foundation is Destructo and MxNxSTxR’s shared club instincts — house-driven, minimal, and irresistibly cool.

Despite the track’s long road from inception to release, “What You Need” doesn’t feel like a time capsule. It’s timeless. A breezy blend of disco, funk, and house that lands somewhere between nostalgia and now — the kind of song that makes you want to lace up skates and cruise down Venice Boulevard at golden hour.

It’s a rare thing in dance music: a collaboration that feels less like a marketing plan and more like a moment.
