DMCWORLD AWARDS 2016 – Demuir

Tune
Chaka Khan by Eli Escobar.  This track is pure genius and groove all in one!
Album
We Got It From Here…Thank You 4 Your Service – A Tribe Called Quest – What more can you say about a record that drops with real hip hop sounds and speaks so poignantly to what’s happening right now?
Remix
Lil’ Mark – The Future Back Then Feat. Mikey V (Freaks Remix).  I love the layers in this one and deep bass grooves.
Label
Local Talk – They always put out top notch stuff and never disappoint.
Breakthrough label
Razor & Tape – Another great label for me.  I enjoy the range of tracks, which are always club ready.
Producer
Karizma / Kaytronik – I had the pleasure of being introduced to this man’s work through a mutual friend and have since collaborated on other projects along with a remix he did for one of my tunes on Yoruba.  Quality every time here.
Festival
Defected Croatia.  Great selection of DJs and the environment was stunning
Music Conference
Amsterdam Dance Event.  I had the pleasure of attending this event for the first time and it’s a fine mix of business and pleasure.
Radio Show
BBC Radio 1.  These guys continue to do right by our scene and represent som great underground electronic music.
Mainstage DJ
Carl Cox.  Legendary set dropped this man, which was pure bliss.  So lucky to be in this time to experience that.
Resident DJ
Cassy.  I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her videos and going to her gig in Amsterdam.  Massively impressive control of the crowd and taking them on a journey each time.
Club
Smartbar – Chicago
New Studio Equipment/Software
UAD Apollo Quad 4
