We welcome Toronto’s own Demuir to Makin’ Moves. A “rare breed” in the world of electronic music. With a passion that runs deep in his veins, Demuir has risen to the top of the underground house scene with his soulful, funky, and unapologetically authentic sound.

Here he presents a classy three track EP, all tracks worthy of working the dance floor in equal measure!

“What Deep House Use To Be” is the first of two instrumental tracks. This one is a bouncy house groove taking us back to the early roots of house music, with a very catchy groove.
“What’s Happening To Me?” is a full on jazzy house affair, and uplifting feel good instrumental with a guitar solo which keeps the toes tapping and energy high!

“Emotional Seasons” completes the package, another infectious chunky house groove filled with jazzy keys and stabbing chords sending a positive house message!
Demuir has only continued to push boundaries. In 2024 and 2025, he’s released stand out projects on his Purveyor Underground and Purveyor Underground Limited imprints. His output remains in demand across respected labels including Hot Creations, Kaoz Theory, Heist, Nervous.

It really is the perfect space for us with its stunning wooden dance floor and sound system (which has been taken from room 2 in fabric!) to 360 degree views of the city!

Matt and Jamesey will be fresh from their set at Faith and Southport Weekender respectfully and will be joined once again by Detroit’s Ash Lauryn who played a blinder of a set for us last year in Brixton so much so we immediately invited her back! Ash is one of the main female deep house pace setters always on the road out and now also rightly getting props over here in Europe on a regular basis. Opening things up will be Kojay and P-Lucas who are currently making waves in London’s deep house scene with their unique Oonts parties at spaces such as Grow and we welcome them both to Makin’ moves!

MAKIN236 – Afronaut featuring Just One “Ground Zero”

Posted on by

 Makin’ Moves bring this archived studio gem to the forecourt as it was just too damn good to be left sitting on the drive! Rewind back to 2005 and a chance studio meeting in London between Bugz in the Attic producer Afronaught aka Orin Walters and Justin Chapman aka Just One, who was in town to play a gig with the Bugz crew.

Fast forward the two decided to work on some tracks, and this one captures a time in London where there was a huge melting pot of new sounds in the broken beat era / scene and that sound was at the forefront of London’s club scene including night’s like Co-op at Plastic People in Shoreditch. However, these sounds still have stayed the test of time and very prominent still in clubland today.

Justin’s vocals touch on the persistence of race in American politics – an issue that was as real in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina is it is in the post George Floyd era.

Phil Asher (RIP) at the time loved the track and decided to do his own “Restless Soul Dub” version, adding his characteristic drums and stripping the vocal back while also keeping the blending the soulfulness of Justin’s original mix.

Produced by Afronaut for Bugzintheattic
Recorded & Mixed by Orin Waters at the Bitasuite
Mastered by Sappo
