Music Talk 058 - How to make a House Music album with Demuir

Author: Grahame Farmer November 2, 2023 Duration: 1:17:32

Demuir has maintained his stay at the forefront of the house scene, pushing out releases on stellar labels, and heavily touring, his funk laden sound is always centred around a certain soul emotion, a passion that he pours from himself into his sound which remains globally appreciated. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Demuir started off as a child playing around on his Dad’s Hammond B3 organ, before beginning to play music seriously at the age of 16, with skills covering the keys, bass guitar, drums and percussion instruments. He first fell in love with house music after hearing Derrick May’s “Strings of Life”, and by seeing May, DJ Sneak, and Mark Farina at Industry, the legendary Toronto nightclub. The highly anticipated “Visions” LP from Demuir is finally upon us and spans across Demuir’s dynamite house textures, crammed with depth and emotion. The eight-track LP on his own Purveyor Underground Limited also features artists such as Fred P - Black Jazz Consortium, Aaron K Gray and TUSH, and a digital-only track in collaboration with Farouki. If you want to release on the biggest labels and DJ for the biggest brands, this video will give you a wealth of insights into how to do just that!


Grahame Farmer hosts Music Talk, a podcast that feels more like a series of candid conversations backstage than a formal interview show. Now in its third season, the focus remains on the practical realities of building a life in music, whether you're behind the decks or in the studio. Each episode is loaded with actionable advice and hard-won insights, but it’s the genuine motivation woven throughout that regular listeners appreciate. You’ll hear from a wide range of voices, from touring artists and label owners to promoters and even lawyers, all discussing the topics that actually matter. Past discussions have dug into navigating platforms like Spotify, the intricacies of getting music signed, and sustaining creative drive. Grahame’s approach is to bring out the inner perspective of his guests, moving beyond surface-level success stories to uncover the real strategies and personal challenges. This isn't just about inspiration; it's a resource built on shared experience. For DJs, producers, and anyone curious about the inner workings of the industry, this podcast offers a direct line to the people shaping the sound.
