Demi Riquísimo:
In a relatively short career spanning just over five years, Demi has done things his way. Wherever he plays the result is the same, and the worldwide audience cannot help but take notice. With his playful audacity and boisteros approach, Demi exuberates only what some DJs can only dream of behind the decks, and this is really ONLY the start for the young Londoner.
His diversity in his performance are both consistent and memorable, always striving to create the whole picture whether over a 2 or 10 hour set. Often found to maintain a steady tempo, Demi works a lot more with the internals of a track to make it 'feel' faster. He knows exactly what he’s doing in terms of creating a journey. This organic approach is never over-thought or planned out, but just oozes out of him very naturally and successfully. It is his humbleness and boundless energy which feeds off anybody who comes across this young man.
Demi’s meteoric rise has been down to a combination of sheer hard work, talent and luck. But as Demi says, “you make your own luck”
Since making his debut holding down an exclusive summer residency in one of Indonesia’s biggest venues at Double Six, and reaching the final of Cream’s Resident competition in 2002, Demi is now in-demand globally from promoters and a host of the elite DJ's requesting to have him perform alongside them.
Highlights include his much publicised visits spinning with Tenaglia in NYC, Miami WMC and most recently in London where both wowed the audiences at Heaven. Pacha debut alongside Laurent Garnier and Tong which had Tong stating on record in DJ Magazine, saying his set was the best warm-up set he’d heard in 2004.
On top of this, spell-binding performances at world reknowned venues such as Cavo Paradiso, Crobar NYC, Avalon and at his Deeper Substance London residency among others have all not gone unnoticed –
He received two separate nominations for `Best Newcomer` and `Breakthrough DJ` at the 2004 DJ Pacha Awards and House Music Awards 2004. Demi is widely acknowledged as being one of the rising stars in the global dance music community.
Demi's DSR label will be showcasing his long awaiting original material which have already featured on some high profile compilations this year alone.
There is some outstanding music to follow as well from the 16bit Lolitas, Shafunkers, B.Original and Harry Peat. This is just the beginning.
Along with the original material comes the string of remixes which have been carefully selected. Whilst many artists are churning out remixes by the dozen, Demi's selective approach to remix work is simply quality not quantity.
A chance meeting with Trifactor from LA led them to collaborating on one of their favourite David Bowie tracks. "Lets's Dance not only received global support from the DJ's but was also picked up by EMI who released the single on their ‘Club Bowie’ remix compilation.
Demi has also finished up a remix of Mashtronic's Supernova which will be released on the excellent SexonWax label and also another remix under his alternative Shepherds guise for Rob da Bank's Sunday Best label called Plastic Operator - Folder.
With so many years ahead of him it’s scary to think how good Demi is going to get. If his career as a DJ is set, he is still warming us up……

Demi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Perc to change my mood yeah I was caught in a lust
High before high school god damn my life back then sucked
Demons come in two ride in a coupe double cup
Woah
To much of that drank just make me nauseous as fuck
Oh
No
More of those days were I was lost in the dumps
Go
Vámonos dat way just ándale come on pronto
Benders soon will pass they come in waves like a tidal
Take a sip out flask to cope depression my rival
The devil gave me sass I'll beat his ass wit a blindfold
Open the safe think I deserve what is in it
Hang me from chain wearin regrets like a pendant
Baby love fragrance when I walk she attendin
Paradise I pray that one day darkness is hidden yuh
Pray that one day darkness is hidden yuh
In Demi-Biche’s song "b5," the artist begins by diving into a deeply personal narrative that reflects a tumultuous upbringing marked by emotional neglect. The line "Since came out the womb nobody gave me some love" succinctly encapsulates a sense of abandonment that has persisted since infancy. This lack of affection has evidently shaped the artist's early experiences, as hinted in the following lines about using Percocet to change their mood. Here, Demi reveals a coping mechanism that develops in response to the pain and disappointment of youth, alongside a euphoric yet fleeting indulgence in lust. This passage sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the artist's internal struggles, with high school described as a particularly challenging time exacerbated by the ghosts of demons that accompany them, represented by "two ride in a coupe double cup," symbolizing both substance use and the deep-seated presence of these issues.
As the song progresses into the chorus, the mood shifts into a realm of reflecting on the consequences of excessive partying and substance use. “To much of that drank just make me nauseous as fuck” illustrates the physical and emotional toll that such behavior has taken, highlighting a struggle against addiction and the pursuit of temporary highs. This line serves as a moment of self-awareness where the artist recognizes a cycle of excess that leads to discomfort, contrasting with the hopeful imagery provided by the mention of "Dead prez," which can be interpreted as both a nod to the hip-hop duo and a metaphor for enlightenment. This serves as a moment of clarity in the artist's recurrent patterns of behavior—an acknowledgment that while hope is present, the weight of past actions still looms large. The refrains emphasizing movement, such as "Vámonos dat way just ándale come on pronto," suggest a yearning to shift away from the negativity and pain that previously defined their existence.
In the third verse, Demi-Biche metaphorically details the highs and lows of life, comparing them to natural cycles where "benders soon will pass they come in waves like a tidal." This imagery not only reflects the transient nature of emotional states but also implies that these waves are unavoidable yet manageable. The mention of using alcohol ("Take a sip out flask to cope") speaks to the struggles with mental health characterized by depression, which the artist personifies as a rival. In a rebellious twist, the artist declares intention to confront their demons—“I'll beat his ass wit a blindfold”—implying a fearless approach to personal battles, even in ignorance or amidst uncertainty. This confrontation provides a glimmer of hope that the artist believes that they, too, deserve victories in life, as indicated by the line "Open the safe think I deserve what is in it," symbolizing the pursuit of better opportunities and rewards for personal struggle.
Finally, the concluding lines resonate with themes of regret and longing for redemption, encapsulated in the lines about wearing regrets "like a pendant." This metaphorical image portrays how burdens of the past hang heavily on the artist, visually marking their struggles and experiences in a way that is both beautiful and tragic. The juxtaposition of “Baby love fragrance when I walk she attending” conveys fleeting moments of connection that counterbalance darker emotions, hinting at a desire for love and acceptance. The prayer for darkness to be hidden represents a universal desire for hope and healing, echoing sentiments many individuals share when faced with their own demons. Ultimately, the song is not just a portrayal of challenges but also an expression of the hope that one day a brighter, more promising existence can be attained, reinforcing a sense of resilience and the ongoing journey of personal growth and healing.
