Pseudonym of renowned Scottish DJ/Producer George T, George Demure emerged in the heady days of pre-gentrified Shoreditch before signing to Trevor Jacksons Output Recordings in 2007, a brief spell with Tirk Records before releasing his final LP “The Drifter” in 2010.

Until now.

On the racks and both sides of the counter it’s a place George knows very well. He co-founded Edinburghs Underground Solu'shn record store in 1995. It still runs today. After a move to London in 2001 he worked at Phonica in its infancy before settling in at Shoreditch’s Smallfish until it closed in 2010. If anyone were to put that experience to song, it could be him.

Online is fine, but there’s nothing quite like the real thing.

Those were his thoughts as he created that first modular riff and TR606 pattern (a mistake) that demanded a roll call for all the record shops he’d visited, worked at , bought from and sold to over the past 30 years. “I wrote only a few shops down on paper then recorded a guide for further recording but, when I listened back to the stream of consciousness it sounded just perfect”.

The companion piece to The Record Store (Cut The Rug) was penned shortly after, similarly reflective yet this time about nightclubs, and without any name checks. To help George along the way with this release he enlisted the skills of three very good friends. Gav (Other Lands / Fudge Fingas) who worked with George at Underground Solushn. Secondly Jonny (Jonny Rock / Future Boogie) who worked with George at Phonica. Finally Quinn (Johnny Aux / Paranoid London) who George released his third ever 12” with in 1997. They’re currently working together again for Optimo Music, but that’s another story.
