NXSTY – NEED YOU HERE: Vancouver Artist Bowen Sanderson’s New Single

Vancouver’s Bass Heavyweight NXSTY Returns with Soulful New Pop Single ‘NEED YOU HERE’

The Vancouver electronic scene is buzzing as Bowen Sanderson, known globally as NXSTY, drops his highly anticipated new single, “NEED YOU HERE.” At just 25 years old, Bowen Sanderson has already cemented his legacy in the bass music world. From the rainy streets of Vancouver, British Columbia, to the main stages of the world’s biggest festivals, NXSTY’s trajectory has been nothing short of meteoric. Now, he’s showing off his artistic range by blending his signature hard-hitting production with a soulful, pop-leaning groove.

The Evolution of Bowen Sanderson

Since he began composing at the age of 14, NXSTY has been a musical chameleon. While many know him for the hard bass stabs and deep 808s that defined the early trap era, his sound has matured into a sophisticated fusion of styles.

Whether it’s the gritty energy of North American trap or the soulful groove of European bass music, Bowen refuses to be boxed into a single genre. This experimental spirit is exactly what makes “NEED YOU HERE” such a standout release—it captures a more melodic, accessible side of the producer without losing the technical precision his fans crave.

By the Numbers: A Global Powerhouse

If you haven’t been tracking the stats, NXSTY is a streaming juggernaut. With a massive 250 million+ streams across all platforms, his impact on the digital landscape is undeniable:

  • Spotify Dominance: Over 150 million streams on Spotify alone.

  • Viral Hits: His track “Till I Die” has cleared 9.5 million streams, while the fan-favorite “Calypso” featuring Ero808 has soared past 15 million.

  • Industry Respect: His production prowess has caught the ears of titans like Dillon Francis, Whipped Cream, and many more top-tier DJs who regularly feature his tracks in their sets.

Why ‘NEED YOU HERE’ is a Must-Listen

“NEED YOU HERE” marks a pivotal moment in NXSTY’s discography. It’s a track that feels equally at home on a late-night drive as it does on a festival sound system. By leaning into pop sensibilities, Sanderson proves that he isn’t just a “bass producer”—he’s a world-class songwriter.

The single arrives just as NXSTY continues his 2025 takeover, fresh off his debut on labels like Monstercat and high-energy 360° performances in his hometown of Vancouver.
