Berlin-based New Yorker Demetr1us serves up a soulful take on electronica that perfectly marries his past and present. Reflecting the electronic mecca of his current hometown as well as his Trinidadian roots with occasional subtle Caribbean inflexions, his material ranges from melancholic, introspective electronic pop to dramatic synth-driven house through to mystical, progressive house-meets-techno sounds. Gearing up to release his debut record — which is as comfortable on the dancefloor as it is on the home stereo — he is poised to make a big mark on the electronic crossover scene after years honing his craft alongside some of the biggest names in music.
