'Stand Beside Me' picks up the pace for murmur records, a new introduction for artists Tom Demac, Glimpse and the first sample of label manager Geddes.

Gathering inspiration from the surrounding landscape, a big dose of detroit techno, as well as influxes of electronica, dub and jazz, Tom Demac writes and records live electronic music from the soul. He has developed his own characteristic sound based on a philosophy of creating music aimed at the dance-floor.

The Stand Beside Me EP lives up to this reputation and is destined to throw him further into the spotlight weaving across Demac's distinguished sound. Daring and disjointed yet invitingly groovy, the title track 'Stand Beside Me' has hints of electronica through to new-age disco. 'Three by Four' shows more unruly workings, its throbbing heart of a bassline and simple melody shakes up the senses.

To those who know him, Glimpse is one of the UK's best and most underrated producers. Carl Craig's Planet E, Leftroom, Four:Twenty and now murmur all agree and have offered a platform for his recent releases. His remix of 'Stand Beside Me' switches the flavour, pinning down the house elements and giving an old school kick.

As the founder of the murmur record imprint, Geddes has held off for this pinnacle package to offer his debut on remix duties. Maintaining the menacing undertone his working smoothes the edges and enhances the groove depicting his trademark deep and pensive style.

After spending the last few years in Manchester and Barcelona, Tom Demac has returned to the picturesque setting of his native North Wales to nestle into his studio. The products of which have appeared on labels such as Four:Twenty, Hypercolour and Glimpse Recordings.

murmur has found a counterpart in this rising UK star and their partnership promises to deliver further revelations from both in the future.
