Toronto’s Demuir continues his fine recent run of form with a thrilling three tracker on Loco Dice’s Desolat label.

Having made his name on the local scene early on, Demuir has gone on to play some of the world’s big stages. The ever more essential artist shows off his fine array of skills and sounds across three high functioning tracks here.

The bristling ‘Mindset – Progress Waits for None’ arrests your attention from the off with its lively horns and churning drums. Spoken word snippets and oversized hi hats all exude plenty of attitude and are sure to explode the club. The devastating, ‘Disco Ain’t Jack’ then flips the script and offers well swung disco house drums with classic vocal samples and a real sense of soul. It’s sure to kick start any party and bring everyone together. Last of all, the superb ‘Yuh Chat Too Much’ is another loopy jam with disco, funk and boogie overtones. Jazzy Rhodes chords dance over the kicks and bring all manner of joy to proceedings.

Demuir’s high impact sounds are a perfect fit for Desolat.
