Oscar Jerome + Ben Hauke - No Need (EP)

Genre-bending trailblazer Oscar Jerome, teams up with South East London DJ and sonic experimenter, Ben Hauke for ‘No Need’, out now via DMY. The pair come together again following a collaboration in 2019, for Oscar’s release ‘Gravitate’ and took the opportunity during 2020’s lockdowns to reignite their creative output as a duo. The release blends Jerome’s jazz, soul and guitar elements with Hauke’s influences from house, broken beat and 90’s hip-hop, across the luminous 2-track EP.

Oscar Jerome comes off the back of his 2020 breakthrough debut album ‘Breathe Deep’ which featured Lianne La Havas and picked up glowing endorsements from across the music industry. Jerome was labelled as The Guardian’s ‘One To Watch’ as well receiving frequent support and playlisting across the likes of 6 Music, Radio1 and 1Xtra, for his unique ability to supply absorbing grooves alongside arresting & poignant lyrics.
