Kind Words
“The arrangement gradually introduces fluttering high-range tones that give the track both lift and depth. Midway through, the elements pull back, creating a moment of pause before climbing again into a textured soundscape where rhythm, melody, and ambient detail intertwine.
True to its name, the track flickers with luminous detail, its shifting layers creating a sense of motion that is both intricate and constant.”

““Reminisce” is a seriously addictive slice of modern electronic dance music that perfectly balances nostalgia with maxed-out energy. Driven by a relentless, punchy groove, the track layers glittering, melodic textures that sound both familiar and thrillingly fresh. This is an anthem that just demands your attention.”
— Canadian Beats on the track “Reminisce”
“It’s more than just a display of skill; it invites you to enjoy music as a journey. The song represents the idea of Jugaad, showing how creativity can thrive even when there are limitations.”
— Kindline
“A wonderfully warped piece of ambient electronica.”
— Acid Ted
“In the closing track, a narrator speaks of “patterns that shimmer and happen again and again.” Realizing that these words hearken back to the instrumental single, one realizes that Demsky is introducing a secondary theme of global connection that may – if embraced – lead to a feeling of unity. Warm music such as this has a calming effect, producing a shimmer of good will. As “Earth” slows down, the implication is simple yet clear: it’s time for us to slow down as well, to wonder at the patterns, the synchronicities, the commonalities woven through our lives.”
— A Closer Listen on the track “Earth”
“Le producteur de musique électronique torontois propose un stimulant morceau downtempo. Les arrangements vaporeux rencontrent une approche rythmique texturée sur ce titre aux qualités hypnotiques. La mise en scène humoristique du clip qui accompagne ce titre rehausse le niveau artistique de cette création iconoclaste. 〰 The Toronto-based electronic music producer delivers a stimulating downtempo track. Steamy arrangements meet a textured rhythmic approach on this track with hypnotic qualities. The humorous staging of the accompanying video raises the artistic level of this iconoclastic creation.”
— Boulimique de Musique
“Crafted in a variety of improvised recording environments, Jugaad feels alive with experimentation, drifting fluidly between ambient atmospheres, melodic techno grooves and downtempo rhythms, coloured by broken beats and subtle jazz inflections. Shimmering synths and field recordings intertwine with organic instrumentation, creating a sound that’s enveloping and unlike anything else.”
