Needs No Sleep

Needs No Sleep is the project of Melbourne producer and DJ Mitchell Thomas. I’ve been making dance music for over a decade, and at this point I’m more interested in making records I genuinely love than locking myself into one sound. Sometimes that means a club record built for 2am. Other times it’s uplifting piano, big vocals and something you’ll hopefully still remember years from now. I love both sides of dance music, and I think that’s become a big part of what Needs No Sleep is. Over the years my music has been released on labels including Toolroom, Defected, Insomniac, Cr2, D4 DANCE, hau5trap and Repopulate Mars, with support across BBC Radio 1, SiriusXM and DJs around the world. I've also had multiple records break into the ARIA Club Chart. In 2026 I launched my own label, Up All Night Recordings, giving me a home to release music completely on my own terms. The goal now is pretty simple: make great dance music, take risks, and create records that actually mean something. Whether it’s a club weapon or a piano house record you’re singing back after one listen, if it feels right, I’m putting it out. Needs No Sleep.
