Slept On Sundays #8: Demain – Everwhere EP

The aim of Slept On Sundays, as we’ve said before, is to highlight recent tunes that might have slipped under your radar, but are still very relevant. That description definitely fits the ‘Everywhere EP’ by relative unknown entity, Demain, to the extent that we’re not sure anyone except us has heard the EP. Don’t get us wrong though, we’re not saying anything about the quality of the content, just musing on the fickle nature of musical fashion trends. This can be seen in practice with the streams we can offer you – above is the promotional EP preview from Fentplates, while full track streams uploaded by anyone other than the producer himself were non-existent, except with regard to the title track (see below).

The ‘Everywhere EP’ was released only 4 months ago, in the middle of September 2013 on long-time deep dubstep purveyors, Fent Plates. It’s Demain’s first release proper, though he has previous with Fent Plates, having remixed a Dfaultuzer track for them in mid 2012. Despite this, Demain comes correctly, with a fully formed sound that would suggest he’d been releasing for years.

Title track ‘Everywhere’ is a definite highlight, exemplifying Demain’s ability to perfectly walk the line between a creating a chilled vibe and keeping a track’s momentum going. Vocals come from Capucine, floating above the track, words only half-formed, and all the more beguiling for it.

Meanwhile, ‘Deep Cover’ does what it says on the tin and goes in deep, with a casual shuffle that meanders on at around 120bpm, as the track subtly builds, never rushed in its development but always certain of it.

As we said, these two tracks are the only ones available to stream fully online, so if you want to hear the full tracks, then you can download the EP here (also the only way to hear J-One’s standout remix of the title track): http://www.junodownload.com/products/demain-everywhere/2276079-02/
