Review on the website - http://subsource-magazine.com/2016/05/13/mud034-demon-light-ft-monika-ematnarkotiks-overdose-vip/

Light starts off with energetic, crisps hi-hats and Monika Emat gives the title track vocal an angelic yet haunting feel as an underlying guitar-like lick takes us through to the drop. Effective immediately is the almost broken-CRT-television white noise crunch of a snare pushing through the mix adding to the dark aesthetic of the track, whilst a mid-frequency synth groans back amongst the sub-bass pressure. Rave-esque stabs make themselves known in the breakdown whilst Monika's tones continue to keep us warm and feeling safe until the twisted mind of Demon ensues with a brutal twist in percussion and mid-frequency groans on the second drop.

The second track on the release brings Narkotiks (Overdose VIP), the original saw a 12" white label release on the label last year as the A-side with Sex Tape ft. Beezy on the flip. The Overdose VIP pays homage to the original with an all too familiar introduction, until siren-like screams drain all resemblance away and bring us to the drop which then gives a slaughterous +1 to original definitely earning the "Overdose" title. The percussion in the track opens a window back to the hardcore and jungle rave scene of the 90s although perhaps processed into an unrecognisable brutal 140bpm rhythm, the vocal also keeps the lo-fi feel to the track which is certainly a welcome addition. Although often labeled as Dubstep, Demon keeps reminding us that we can push the boundaries of music and both tracks on this release definitely prove that.
