Divas and Demons LP (CD)
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
A hip-hop and soul release at its core, 'Divas and Demons' explores REMI’s personal experiences from the state of race issues, to the personal demons of relationship breakdowns, depression and the ongoing challenges faced as an artist. Incorporating an array of live instrumentation, found-sounds and soulful electronics – the production terrain of the record shifts towards diverse musical exploration, anchored within head-nodding, soul shaking beats.
An LP of inimitable storytelling and unique production, Divas and Demons features some of Australia’s brightest hip-hop and soul artists. Simon Mavin (Hiatus Kaiyote), Sampa Tembo (Sampa the Great), Jordan Rakei, Baro, Silent Jay, Tom Scott (Average Rap Band), Lorry (Hiatus Kaiyote), Nui Moon and Cazeaux O.S.L.O. (Man Made Mountain) all lend their talents to various moments throughout the record.
Out on House of Beige Records, 'Divas and Demons' proves again REMI’s raw brand of storytelling and deft production is set to entertain the world’s over.

about
Depression is a Demon in a scream mask, brandishing a hunting knife. When I take drugs, or drink it's the equivalent of giving that motherfucker the coordinates to my house. It just makes everything so much worse. This is basically the sound of coming down. - Remi
This joint is supposed to sound hectic and anxious, to match the lyrical content from Rem. Very repetitive with the lil sample chops, and heavy bass stabs done on a Moog "Lil Phatty" by the man Dutch (peace bro!) When Rem added the "Blow your money" singing, I had to step up and add some changes to the bass notes. This beat has been sitting around for 3-4 years, and I'm glad it's going on this release. The drums have changed 3 times (shout out to DJ Manchild for the bday 45 and the open drum break on it! shhhhhhhh).- Sensible J
