——————-
Demi:
Demi has been lighting up dance floors worldwide for the better part of the last decade. Whether he’s performing at the biggest global festivals, opening up for some of the planet’s most influential DJs or headlining marathon sets deep in the caverns of the underground, or globetrotting with fellow rogue sonic warriors Omid 16B & Desyn Masiello under their SOS guise, the desire to create a positively sonic experience has kept his fire burning more than any award, nomination or adulation that has come his way over the years.

He is the man behind the infamous Deeper Substance & Substantially Deeper parties (2001-2004) that exposed his savvy work as a promoter; bringing talent from across the globe to some of London’s intimate underground venues. He’s also had much publicized performances with Danny Tenaglia in NYC, Miami and London, along with influential gigs touring with Pete Tong and performing with Laurent Garnier at Pacha, Ibiza.

Looking to further his career as a producer, Demi started Deeper Substance Records and a succession of releases between 2005-2007 caught the attention of his piers and featured on various high profile label compilations. Wary of not wanting to flood the market with ‘flavours of the month’, his studio output has been a slow and deliberate process of developing and evolving both a technique and vision of his mind and soul.

The last few years have seen Demi focus on the SOS Collective. In it’s current format consisting of Omid16B & Demi – locked tight to a positive feedback loop, their self-religion over the years has been inspiring to all, as anybody who experienced their live shows will testify. From their infamous boat parties in London & Ibiza to sellout WMC marathon sessions in Miami, along with a 3hr Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 (a first since its inception) to add to their acclaimed triple disc opus mix for Balance on EQ Recordings in 2008. This timeless piece demonstrated musical synergy at its force, and forever etched its mark on dance music’s legacy.

Their energy-fuelled quarterly residency held at Ministry of Sound in London since 2007 inspired SOS to embark on their follow-up project which featured one mix recorded live at the venue whilst the second CD showcased brand new productions and unreleased remix material from SOS. Their sonic blueprint was previewed to the world in February 2010 on a double-CD compilation for Ministry Of Sound. The album saw critical acclaim from the music press and was named ‘Compilation of the Month’ in both DJ Magazine and Tillate. DJ magazine were to give the trio the prestigious front cover feature in their 2010 New Year issue.

At present, Demi is channeling all his love and devotion towards the original productions of a debut SOS album for a sonic assault on the masses in 2011 as well as further sonic experimentations and guilty pleasures of his own.
Sponsored and armed by industry giants such as Pioneer, Ableton, Roland and Native Instruments, expect to hear what you need, not necessarily what you expect.

With his unique take on melodic, deep, progressive, tech house, he was quick to be picked up to play at many of London’s venues such as Turnmills, Ministry of Sound, the White House, plus numerous other UK appearances. Will learnt to rock a dance floor running “Coordinated”, a respected deep, progressive, tech house night that broke new talent and kept a great crowd. He was lucky enough to share the decks with Anil Chawla, Mark Sun, Jim Rivers, John Taylor, and Dave Seaman amongst others. In 2008, Will moved to Texas where he’s built up a solid reputation with the local promoters, establishing himself as an interesting new addition to the American EDM scene. The move has also given him time to concentrate on his burgeoning production skills, which are beginning to flourish.

GEORGE HORN: A new face to the Austin EDM scene since Febuary of last year, George is sure to get you involved in the music. He has been DJing for over 10 years, and is known for playing some of the best in Todays Deep House/Tech House Grooves.
