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……

Not a cheater
May nalaman nanaman ako sa kakaibang pamamaraan
Hinahanap hanap mo parin ako katulad nung nakaraan
Nag iiba na ang takbo ng mundo pagka magtagpo kahit minsanan
Kaya dahan dahan
Kung tignan mo ko
Ikaw na tong nagbibigay motibo
Di mo lang alam katulad mo ko
Kung sakyan ko na yang pakundangan ano mang kahulugan
Naghahanap din ng dadantay
Di ako pinaghihintay
Di ako pamigay
Ayoko lang manghinayang
Pwede rin namang dahan dahan
Mas gusto ko yung pinaghahandaan ko
Sayo baby ay hindi pa ko handang mangako
Wag ka naman nang madrama wala 'kong atraso
Parehas tayong nag iingat lang oh baby alam kong alam mo
Na wala kong niloloko dito sayo totoo ako di ko tatanggi
Kaso di ko alam kung kakayanin mo yung hapdi
Eh kasi kung tignan mo ko
Alam mong di ko pa kaya binabago mo ko
Kung masanggi ko man ang puso mo di ko yan intensyon
Sana di magbago ating direksyon
Oras mo pa rin uutangan ko
Kahit na madami dyan na iba 'la kang kalaban
Di ka minamadali matagal man kailangan
Mong oras baby wala namang kasalanan
Kung sakyan ko na yang pakundangan
Ano mang kahulugan
Naghahanap din ng dadantay
Di ako pinaghihintay
Di ako pamigay
Ayoko lang manghinayang
Pwede rin namang dahan dahan
Mas gusto ko yung pinaghahandaan ko
The lyrics to Demi's song "Pakundangan" delve into the complexities of a relationship where one person is cautious and hesitant to fully commit, while the other is seeking reassurance and understanding. The opening lines "I am saint, Not a cheater" sets the tone for the singer's declaration of honesty and integrity in their intentions. They have learned from past experiences and are navigating the changing dynamics of a relationship where both parties are in search of fulfillment and connection.
The singer reflects on the efforts made by the other person to seek them out and provide motivation, acknowledging their similarities yet hinting at a hesitance to fully embrace the intensity of the connection. The line "Kaya dahan dahan" encapsulates the cautious approach the singer wishes to take in order to protect themselves from potential heartache or disappointment. They are willing to ride the waves of uncertainty but also emphasize the importance of preparation and foresight.
As the singer grapples with the idea of "pakundangan" or cautiousness, they express a desire to not rush into promises or commitments prematurely. The lyrics convey a sense of self-preservation and a reluctance to make hasty decisions that may lead to regret. Despite this, there is an underlying vulnerability and apprehension about whether the other person will be able to handle the emotional challenges that may arise, highlighting a fear of causing pain unintentionally.
The final verses of the song touch upon the singer's internal struggle between maintaining their individuality and vulnerability versus opening up to the possibility of a deeper connection. They express a desire for the other person to understand their reservations and fears, emphasizing the need for patience, understanding, and a mutual respect for each other's pace and boundaries. The singer ultimately values the slow and deliberate approach to building a relationship, emphasizing the importance of preparation and thoughtful consideration in order to avoid any potential regrets or missteps.

May nalaman nanaman ako sa kakaibang pamamaraan
I continue to learn in different ways
Hinahanap hanap mo parin ako katulad nung nakaraan
You still long for me like before
Nag iiba na ang takbo ng mundo pagka magtagpo kahit minsanan
The course of the world changes when we meet even for a moment
Kaya dahan dahan
So take it slowly
Kung tignan mo ko
If you look at me
Wala ka namang niloloko rito
You're not fooling anyone here
Ikaw na tong nagbibigay motibo
You're the one giving motivation
Di mo lang alam katulad mo ko
You just don't know that I'm like you
Kung sakyan ko na yang pakundangan ano mang kahulugan
If I follow that hesitation, whatever it may mean
Naghahanap din ng dadantay
Also searching for someone to rely on
Di ako pinaghihintay
I'm not being made to wait
Di ako pamigay
I'm not easily given up
Ayoko lang manghinayang
I just don't want to regret
Pwede rin namang dahan dahan
It's also fine to take things slowly
Mas gusto ko yung pinaghahandaan ko
I prefer what I have prepared for
Sayo baby ay hindi pa ko handang mangako
To you, baby, I'm not yet ready to promise
Wag ka naman nang madrama wala 'kong atraso
Don't be too dramatic, I haven't done anything wrong
Parehas tayong nag iingat lang oh baby alam kong alam mo
We're just both being cautious, oh baby, I know you know
Na wala kong niloloko dito sayo totoo ako di ko tatanggi
That I'm not deceiving you here, I'm telling the truth, I won't deny it
Kaso di ko alam kung kakayanin mo yung hapdi
But I don't know if you can handle the pain
Eh kasi kung tignan mo ko
Because if you look at me
Alam mong di ko pa kaya binabago mo ko
You know I'm not ready, you're changing me
Kung masanggi ko man ang puso mo di ko yan intensyon
If I hurt your heart, that's not my intention
Sana di magbago ating direksyon
I hope our direction doesn't change
Oras mo pa rin uutangan ko
I will still owe you my time
Kahit na madami dyan na iba 'la kang kalaban
Even though there are many others out there, you have no competition
Di ka minamadali matagal man kailangan
I'm not rushing you even though I need time
Mong oras baby wala namang kasalanan
Your time, baby, has done no wrong
Kung sakyan ko na yang pakundangan
If I follow that hesitation
Ano mang kahulugan
Whatever it may mean
Naghahanap din ng dadantay
Also searching for someone to rely on
Di ako pinaghihintay
I'm not being made to wait
Di ako pamigay
I'm not easily given up
Ayoko lang manghinayang
I just don't want to regret
Pwede rin namang dahan dahan
It's also fine to take things slowly
Mas gusto ko yung pinaghahandaan ko
I prefer what I have prepared for
