Red Ocean Records & Neon Tide sign “When I Needed You” collaboration between Titus1 and Ginsong
Titus1 & Ginsong Reunite for UK Garage-Inspired Anthem “When I Needed You”
After the success of their previous collaborations, Titus1 and Ginsong return with a deeply emotive and genre-bending new single: “When I Needed You.” The track is a love letter to the golden era of UK garage — blending soulful diva-style vocals, shuffling two-step grooves, and basslines that feel both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
From the opening bars, “When I Needed You” immerses listeners in a cinematic world of longing and emotional tension. The vocals take center stage — powerful yet vulnerable — layered over a crisp UKG rhythm that instantly sets the tone. There’s an unmistakable throwback energy here, but the production is forward-thinking, polished, and dynamic.
What truly sets the track apart is its journey-like structure. The first drop delivers that unmistakable garage bounce — swung drums, punchy bass, and subtle vocal chops — before transitioning into an unexpected melodic trance-inspired second break. Soaring pads and euphoric chords elevate the emotional weight of the vocal hook, bringing a festival-sized sense of release. It’s a moment designed to lift the dancefloor — or the listener — into another dimension, before snapping back into a slick, bass-driven drop that oozes UK club energy.
“We wanted this to feel like a blend of everything we love — garage, trance, and that raw emotional storytelling you hear in classic diva vocals,” Titus1 explains.
“It’s meant to hit you in the feels, but still make you move,” adds Ginsong.
The collaboration speaks to the duo’s chemistry — both as producers and as fans of the underground. Titus1 brings his signature energy and club-focused sensibilities, while Ginsong adds his knack for melodic emotion and vocal-driven songwriting. Together, they’ve created a track that doesn’t chase trends but pays homage to the sounds that shaped them — from the UKG greats of the early 2000s to the euphoric trance anthems that defined late-night dancefloors.
