DJ duo Primitive Needs take their name from a tongue in cheek nod to the low-tech/high-art club-centric productions of yesteryear, which the duo pay homage to in their releases and behind the decks.
Having showcased their wealth of influences with releases on Craigie Knowes, R.A.N.D Muzik and Naarm’s own DMO, the pair present themselves as both genre-spanners and DJ tools; wrenching every last drop of 90s nostalgia from their moderately priced hardware.
