PRESS QUOTES:

"Every track sounds like it could very well be the climax of a horror film, as is the case with the latest release, “Havoc Run”. It’s like sensory overload in a track; drums, pulsating synths, and God knows what else come at you from every angle, almost as if something is going to pop up from out of nowhere and scare the living shit out of you. It’s totally original, and something to definitely check out if you’re in the mood." - Breaking and Entering, Jan. 2016

"In an almost shamanistic manner, it was as if he were negotiating an exorcism between himself,
his instrument and those assembled to witness his machinated grooves that hovered somewhere on
the periphery of drum and bass and industrial, with the briefest of interludes to a more organic soulfulness (and with bits of vocal who-knows-what interspersed amid it all). Exactly who was
being exorcised of what became almost immaterial as Demix worked his magic into increasingly intense, nearly seamless sonic highs until they would drop into the echoes of the crowd's collective memory." - Shepherd Express, 2014

"The Demix delivers a set high in ferocity. If ever a man and machinery gave the appearance of volleying a spirit back and forth between each other in bouts of possession and exorcism, 
The Demix has mastered that rarefied scenario." 
- Shepherd Express, March 2015

"An eerily cinematic blast of unsettling, apocalyptic screeching and slippery, reptilian beats."
- The Onion AV Club

"The Demix sound is something hard to describe. It's dark and layered with an insane sauce of horrible weirdness. Some might say it has a touch of darkest possible DnB. Whatever: It's very high impact!" - www.laptoprockers.eu

"Like watching an old horror film as an unusually productive construction team tears apart the street outside." - Shepherd Express / Milwaukee, WI

"A series of sonic seizures spilling unpredictable intensity across a sea of samples." - onmilwaukee.com

"Trippy descent into dementia" - The Onion

"Sinister, scary and toxic" - fan-belt.com

"Relentless Electronic Mash-Core� - Alive / Columbus, OH

"The Demix whips up inventively creepy electronic soundscapes on his recent debut, Storm, especially the 12-minute opener "Trapper.Keeper.Stalker.Dead.Silent.", which interlaces a sampled Meddle-era Pink Floyd jam into a Skinny Puppy-like nightmare. The rest of Storm is marked by the sheer aggression of his pulsating wall of sound, which is the aural equivalent of being hit with a large hammer." - The Onion

"Brainy Mixologist" - Isthmus / Madison, WI
