James Demon

Berlin-based techno DJ and producer James Demon is renowned for his ethereal and soulful soundscapes. Born in Rochester, New York in 1983, he began his career as a DJ at the age of 17 in Las Vegas before moving to San Francisco. In 2013, he relocated to Berlin where he founded Occultists, a record label showcasing emerging artists who create a unique blend of electronic music, Post-Punk, and Dark Wave. James' sound is often enigmatic and boundary-pushing, evoking melancholy and beauty through icy synthesizers, harmonic riffs, and fast tempos. His releases span various labels such as Clan Destine Records and his own Occultists imprint. In 2025, he released the Hard Techno tracks "Pleiadians," "Moving Objects," and "Rumors." James' sessions are a ritual that transcends language and cultural barriers, connecting his audience to the sacred through his music. His aim is to create a sonic landscape tailored for witches and esoteric forces.
