Certain records arrive like entries torn from a notebook. That’s the territory H86 explores with “Needed You,” a release shaped by tenderness and pulse, converting recollections of affection and distance into something aimed squarely at the floor. It moves with intention, but it also stays with you — the type of cut that echoes inside both chest and head.
H86 is the identity of Hernan Hernandez Heredia, raised in Cuba and now living in Miami. His entrance into electronic creation came later than some, but the road he’s traveled adds richness that comes through. With diplomas in Economics and Nursing, and years spent between Havana and Florida, Hernan treats production with focus and openness. Each song feels like another translation of that personal archive into rhythm.
“Needed You” unfolds on a steady groove, driven by a motif that rises and recedes like a recollection hovering just beyond touch. Low-end pressure keeps it grounded, higher tones provide lift, and a vocal presence ties it together with closeness. It’s suited for twilight club hours, yet it also resonates in solitude, where subtle choices become clear.
As H86 expands his output, his purpose remains direct: connection. “Needed You” is more than another track — it’s an early installment in a narrative still revealing itself.
