There are few names in the underworld of real-deal electronic music that have left as deep and lasting a scorch mark as Demi. From the high-holy temples of SOS - alongside Desyn Masiello and Omid 16B - to soundtracking sacred rituals for Ministry Of Sound, BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, & Balance, and every label that knew how to spell elevation, Demi has never played the industry game. He set fire to the rulebook and carved a career from the ashes, one beat at a time. Now, with longtime co-conspirator Dennis, he returns under their sonic blood pact Wood Drift, and they're not whispering anymore - they're summoning.

And what they've summoned on 'Aura', the lead single from their upcoming album Ten Years After, is nothing short of a spiritual autopsy of the last quarter-century of electronic music. A sprawling, burned-out-late-night-on-a-beach-somewhere-in-Greece kind of track. One foot in the void, the other grinding through sand and memory.
This isn't music. This is weather.

'Aura' doesn't begin - it emerges, like a fog rolling in off a distant ocean, carrying whispers of things you thought you buried in '04. A glacial downtempo heartbeat pulses beneath flickering melodies that sound like they were pulled from a half-forgotten dream you weren't supposed to wake up from. It's melodic house in a silk kimono, stinking of incense and after-hours regret. A groove so slow, so measured, it feels like the earth itself is exhaling.
And then the textures creep in - pads that bloom like bruises, arpeggios spiraling through warm delay, a bassline like a lover you know will ruin you but you can't stop calling anyway.

This is progressive music in its purest, rawest form - no tacky drops, no cookie-cutter breakdowns, just evolution and emotion. The sound of time unfolding. The sound of earned experience - hard-won and scarred with memory.

You can hear every sleepless night in this track. Every sunrise set. Every plane delay. Every warehouse. Every dancefloor breakdown. This is music made by people who lived it, bled for it, and never stopped.

Demi and Dennis are not chasing trends - they are the goddamn current.

Over the last 25 years, they've done more than craft tracks - they've built worlds. Demi alone helped birth the sound of modern progressive through the holy trinity of SOS, sculpting tectonic grooves that brought dancefloors to their knees with nothing but EQ wizardry and an uncompromising ear. And now, on Fall From Grace Records - itself a cathedral for misfit angels and fallen gods - they're reclaiming the throne with dusty elegance and spectral beauty.
'Aura' is the first candle lit on what's sure to be a full-blown exorcism: their upcoming full-length 'Ten Years After', a title that smells like revenge, memory, and redemption all in one breath.
This isn't a return. It's a reckoning.

Fall From Grace Records knew exactly what they were doing with this 124th release. They didn't want a chart hit. They wanted a statement. And Aura is that and more - it's a reckoning in velvet gloves. A warning shot wrapped in a lullaby.

This record isn't for everyone. It's not meant to be. It's for the ones who remember. Who still feel.Who never stopped digging for soul in the circuits.

So light the candles. Turn the lights low. Drop the needle, and let it bleed.

The kings are back. And they're not here to ask for your blessing - they're here to take it.
