DJ/Producer, DJ Demuir was first initiated onto the music scene at 13 years of age through Dj-ing. He was playing a wide range of music from Hip Hop, Jazz, Funk, and Disco. The house bug caught him, however, in the advent of techno, where he found the fusion of various forms of music merged into one. As a result of this, he began searching for new sounds, writing, and producing tracks to include musical influences he enjoyed playing.
This developed a unique sound with a heavy dose of funk and rhythmic percussion to compliment his new found house appeal. His production style is also reflective of his musicianship playing keyboards, bass, congas, guitar, drums, and various percussive instruments. Continuing to push boundaries, Demuir has created a range of tracks that fulfil a wealth of categories spanning filtered funk to techno. His DJ sets are evident of this, taking you through a winding journey that ultimately leads back to his musical roots, driving a positive and memorable night of surprises for his audience.
Demuir’s eclectic house sound exudes funky, sexy, and soulful beats that is consistently recognized and sought by artists and house fans around the world. His DJ and production career has propelled him into launch a digital record label Mikita Skyy which has quickly gained recognition and support in the global EDM scene.
DJ Demuir has received international nods receiving play from DJ elites including Nick Holder, Donald Glaude, and Stickmen. When first starting, Demuir handed Nick Holder his first pressing under the name Aphrodziak, which Nick played regularly in his sets.
