Demi
Sounds Like Alola Volume 2

Album UK 2011 on Alola label
Dance (Deep House, Tech House)

Demi’s Volume II pieces together the past, and little else, which is by no means a bad thing. Kicking off with the vocal classic (not to mention John Digweed fave) Blandford Superfly by House of 909, polished and professional are two words that come to mind, in terms of the mixing and production. From hereon in we’re taken back to 96 and trance-tinged breaks with 16B’s Secrets and Tranquillity Base from Remote Control, making everything go more than a little northern and exposed. Then all of a sudden there’s a curveball. Now we’re off on a journey via roots influenced downbeat (The Novak Project’s Testament), oddball piano electronica (Dancing With Elephants, a new cut from Marco Da Mata & Matthew), and Arabesque plucked strings (Beneath The Sound by Vince Watson) before we return to more basic four four territories (the classic, raw and stripped 4pm In Frisco). What’s more, the way this works is an absolute joy to hear. Before the disc is done you also get to hear 2 Cold (yet another 16B bass-driven breakbeat classic), which is perhaps the best tune on either instalment reviewed on this page. But with such variety and diversity on offer there are many things for many people, all of which are of the highest quality, serving to reinforce the elevated position of Alola’s sound in the electronic hierarchy. In short, whether looking for warm weather soundtracks, or serious, dark light stylings, both are present and correct, intelligently programmed and seamlessly compiled. Highly recommend.
