Rumbling his way out of Toronto, offering a refreshing antidote to some of the current trends of sombre sounds, Demuir’s ‘TruSkool’ album brings something cheerful and uplifting for the Jackin’ House arena. It comes as no surprise that DJ sneak snapped him up for his Magentic label! There is a jam for one and all to savour, be it the feel-good Jazzy vibes ‘2.5 Bars – It Work Tho (Innovate)’, ‘Aesthetics’and ‘Lady In Fishnets’, to the Disco jazzy house grooves of ‘It’s My Turn’ and ‘Mi Nah Chase Pum Pum’ to the infectiously funky ‘Need To Learn – Ol To The Nu (Outro)’. Demuir cranks up thermostat with the Techier edged afrocentric vibes of ‘Call Of Da Sound’, the Jackin’ Latin spiced ‘No Corazón. No Beat’, the driving, techy acid wobble of ‘Coward In Aries’ and the fiery Samba joint ‘Bichano Doce’. Closing out this superb album are 4 tasty DJ dubs for those who like to surrender to pure dance floor heat. Without a doubt an excellent body of underground Jackin bliss!
