From playing his dad’s Hammond B3 organ as a child to experimenting with various instruments into his teenage years, it was only natural that Toronto-native Demuir would center his life around music. As he focused his sights on the DJ world, Demuir developed an eclectic house sound that exudes funky, sexy, and soulful beats, and is consistently recognized and sought by fellow artists and dance music fans around the world.
Demuir is an artist with a substantial presence in the underground electronic music industry, releasing original music and remixes on major record labels including Hot Creations, Rawthentic, Desolat, Moxy, and his own Purveyor Underground imprint. The pandemic only accelerated Demuir’s musical output on other essential labels including Snatch!, Sola, Nauts, and Harry Romero’s Bambossa label to name a few.
On the touring front, Demuir has been a mainstay at top clubs like Toronto’s Coda, Elrow in Barcelona, Space Miami, Halcyon in San Francisco, House of Yes in New York, and a regular on Jamie Jones’ Paradise parties to name just a few.
In addition to his extensive touring schedule, Demuir still manages to find time to run his own Purveyor Underground label, which champions the underground music scene with digital and vinyl releases and has hosted the likes of Carlo Lio, Mark Farina, Phil Weeks, Kenny Dope, Farouki, and Valentino.
Demuir’s natural talent and drive to create a positive impact through his music and creative projects are nothing less than inspiring.
Review: As part of Heist Recordings' ongoing 10th birthday celebrations, label founders Dam Swindle have decided to showcase some of the 'Hidden Gems' lurking in the imprint's back catalogue. It's a smart move, because there's plenty of high-grade dancefloor heat to be found across the 15 under-celebrated tracks on show. For proof, check the squelchy synth-bass, rushing piano riffs and classic house vibes of Fouk's 'Truffles', the gorgeous sci-fi techno melodiousness of Lord of the Samurai's 'Space Designer', the sun-splashed, jazz-flecked excellence of Crackazat's 'We Know', the low-slung, drum machine driven headiness of Adesse Versions' 'Push It Along' and the drowsy, soul-flecked late-night deepness pf Marina Trench and Sabrina Bellaouel's 'Wake Up'.
Review: SlothBoogie's 'Dancing With Friends' series, a compilation strand showcasing cuts from both label artists and invited guests, has firmly established itself as 'one to watch'. Happily, the third volume in the series is as on-point as its predecessors. There's much to admire across the 16 tracks on show, with our picks of a very strong bunch including the sun-soaked deep house heat of Philippa's sample-heavy 'Chet's Vibe', the bumpin', post-hip-house hedonism of 'Take Back' by Sudden Moves, the dream house-goes-Detroit techno hypnotism of Ruff Stuff's 'Stab Culture', the deep acid house excellence of Baby Rollen's 'Study in Serenity' and the throbbing excellence of Donald Dust's 'Aftercare'. Throw in killer cuts from a couple of better-known artists - see the contributions from Demuir and the Revenge - and you've got another genuinely must-check release.
