Digging Deeper with Demi aka ASOY

/in /by

At their height, SOS were one of the original power trios in electronic music. Long before the likes of Apollonia (or dare we say, those wretched Swedish characters arrived on the scene), these guys were throwing it down in some of the worldā€™s best nightclubs week after week, and even contributed to the Essential Mix as far back as 2006.

Although the boys have since gone their separate ways,Ā Demi, Omid 16B and Desyn areĀ all still active in electronic music ā€“ with Demi in particular a busy man of late. Now producing under a new, more techno-focused alias, ASOY heā€™s arguably making the best music heā€™s made for quite some time.

For Secret Music‘s 13th release, the label is proud to present a collaboration between ASOY and SLF.

The pair met up one evening, in an east end London studio, hunched over a Syncussion sy-1 and a pile of modulars. A long night followed, and countless hours of music, noise and bleeps were recorded, edited, looped and effected. This is the result: theirĀ Between The BeatĀ EP.

ASOY is London DJ/producer Demi, who is now turning his hand to more techno/house leaning pastures courtesy of his new guise. As you may know, Demi was previously one-third of SOS alongside Omid 16B and Desyn Masielo. On his latest release for the London-based Secret Music, he reminds us that thereā€™s far more to his repertoire than progressive house sounds.

The Eyetone Records boss has won huge acclaim for his sound over the years, and aside from Eyetone and Secret Music, he has also put his name to sounds on the likes of KMS Records, Sunday Best and more. His music meanwhile, has been supported by the likes of Danny Tenaglia, Laurent Garnier, Jamie Jones, Black Coffee and Behrouz, while he counts Laurent Garnier, Fred P and Prince as his own major inspirations.
