Since his first releases at the end of the 1990s, Lars Bartkuhn has been an essential, almost timeless, presence in the deep and soulful house scene. One of his crucial moves is having co-founded Needs with his brother Marek and Yannick Elverfeld in 1999: a trio of producers and label from Frankfurt who have shaken up many dance floors across the world, with timeless releases and remixes for Francois K, Jazztronik, Ennio Morricone or Atjazz. As a solo artist, this multi-instrumentalist has always been able to demonstrate a surplus of artistic creativity to revisit his soul, funk and jazz influences, to the point of releasing 5 solo albums and a great number of tracks, many of which have also become classics.
