Ayk Unveils Powerful Single ‘Demon In The Mirror’ With Remixes from Som.1 & Trash Cells

Forging forward with a groundbreaking release that celebrates underground psychedelic Hip-Hop with experimental electronic remixes at its finest, artist and producer Ayk recently dropped his ‘Demon In The Mirror’ release. A powerful offering that pushes genre boundaries and defies expectations, and backed with remixes from Som.1 and Trash Cells, ‘Demon In The Mirror’ continues to garner widespread industry support.

The ‘Demon In The Mirror’ single delivers a hypnotic take on underground Hip-Hop, pairing atmospheric production with introspective lyricism from the Iranian rapper. Paired with powerful electronic remixes, the release has already found champions in Charlotte de Witte, DJ Harvey, James Lavelle (Mo’ Wax), and John Kennedy, while the Som.1 remix has picked up support from Tom Ravenscroft, Don Letts, and more. Meanwhile, the Trash Cells remix, with its guttural vocals, deconstructed beats, and saturated guitars, has drawn support from the likes of Laurent Garnier.

The EP’s remixes showcase the diversity of approaches to Ayk’s sound, with Som.1 adding a rumbling breakbeat energy, and Trash Cells pushing into a heavier, nu-metal-inflected territory. Together, these versions underline Ayk’s boundary-pushing approach and his willingness to explore the outer edges of Hip-Hop and electronic music.

Hailing from the province of Gilan in Iran, Ayk is a rapper and producer operating within the musical collective Twilight Marauders. Crafting beats and lyrical riffs for the last five years, the developing artist shows striking promise on his debut release for the revered R&S Records, the Belgium-based label universally recognised for their long association with forward-thinking electronic music, which has increasingly pushed beyond traditional music boundaries.

With Ayk’s ‘Demon In The Mirror’ continuing to pick up support from key tastemakers and industry heads alike, the release signals his ascension as one of the underground music’s most innovative new artists.
