House music doesn’t get much funkier than Demuir’s ‘New Spirit’ EP. Whether it’s the classic sampling on the title track – an homage to his mother-, or the rolling funk bass and vocal chops on ‘Ain’t no stoppin’ ‘, Demuir brings an unstoppable groove with his 2nd release on Heist.

The man behind so many great house records has kept himself rather busy with building his own fanbase, openly debating the role that big platforms play and the firm grip they have on talent. Rather than conforming to the standard route, Demuir chooses to navigate the winding road of building his own following through his production classes, engineering and music releases through artist-first channels like Patreon.

His recent move from Toronto to Chicago feels perfectly in line with the sound&nbsp;Demuir is bringing forward on his first record on Heist since his 2019 classic ‘Werq, feel, gruv, vogue’. Those 6 years were well worth the wait: The ‘New Spirit’ EP&nbsp; is a perfectly-balanced mix of creativity, confidence and character. The Demuir sound is instantly audible throughout the release and he’s not afraid to make bold choices. Each track has its own identity, its own place on the record and it’s one of the things that make this record stand out in the best way possible. The forward-leaning grooves, the tight mixing and the classic use of soulful samples are a treat to listen and dance to. There’s hints of the 90s New York sound (New Spirit), soulful disco-tinged grooves his new home-town is known for (Ain’t no stoppin’), lean-back and summery melodic grooves (No minions allowed) and deep, bassheavy dubby grooves (Whatchu want is all I got) to remind everyone that Demuir is an absolute master of modern day house music.

We’ve been playing all these songs for a while and we’re happy to finally share these with you.

As always, enjoy the music and play it loud!

In the immersive sonic-visual landscape of com:pute's (producer, DJ, VJ, interdisciplinary artist) bio-digital convergence, topics such as (???) are sonically mapped and visually rendered. Aural transmissions of data streams and neural whispers weave a tapestry of (???), as fragmented identities dissolve into the hum of the post digital collective.

Heist Recordings was founded by Dam Swindle as a means to gain full control over their own releases, and to create a stage for likeminded musicians to showcase their music. From the first release on, Dam Swindle’s “Break up to make up” EP in summer 2013, Heist has been a go to label for proper underground house and electronic music. Now, nearly 40 releases and 5 compilations in, Heist has brought forward artists like Frits Wentink, Nebraska, Adesse Versions, Fouk, Kassian, Nachtbraker and Alma Negra and continues to search for new talent, with Lars & Maarten fully focused on the A&R side of the label. 

Up till 2016, remixes on the label have been solely done by other original Heist artists on the yearly “Round up EP”, where the remixer and remixee get connected by the luck of the draw and a limited edition double pack is put out. After that, Maarten and Lars decided it was time to add remixers to the EP’s as well, which saw interesting collaboration, expanded the label family with names like Matthew Herbert, Tom Noble, Pépé Bradock, Ge-ology and Byron the Aquarius. 

In 2023 we've celebrated 10 years of Heist Recordings. The year showed a whole batch of releases by new artists like Byron the Aquarius, Amy Dabbs and Cinthie and by Dam Swindle themselves.

Hey everyone, 

I'm Jason and I love making people dance but I like to say: I am more dancer than DJ.

I was born in Colombia and I'm influenced by a strong latin culture, especially by dance and joy.
I moved to Spain and it was in Madrid in 2019 (at the “Paraiso” festival) when I discovered electronic music. I was captivated by the musical variety and above all by the fact that the dancers were focused on the music and respected everyone who wanted to get on the dance floor. This took me back to the parties at my grandmother's house in Colombia, where everyone was welcome, endless dances between people who met for the very first time and a magical shared joy.
Since then the curiosity appeared very smoothly and little by little I was getting into the electronic culture.
I had the opportunity to have my first gigs in Madrid and some raves in Tenerife that led me to develop a deeper curiosity which made me move to Berlin. 
Now Berlin is giving me a new and fresh musical knowledge, where I love to go dancing and discover new artists, new ideas of how to make a set and how to make people dance.
That's my only goal.
