Fire in the Feet: Parov Stelar and "Demon Dance"

Parov Stelar, the performer of our random tune today, is the stage name of Marcus Füreder, an Austrian musician, composer, producer and DJ. Working in styles ranging from jazz, house, electro and breakbeat, he is one of the early pioneers of the genre called electro swing. He began his career as a DJ at nightclubs in the 1990s. Known as Plasma at the time, he started to get involved in producing and publishing around 2000, and established his own record label in 2003. He broke onto the international electronic music scene in 2004 with his EP Kiss Kiss. He has won numerous Austrian music awards, has been named as one of the most promising producers active in Europe by the BBC, and has worked with the likes of Lana Del Rey, Bryan Ferry and Lady Gaga. This song, Demon Dance, is an example of his electro swing and can be found on Disc 1 of his 2015 album The Demon Diaries.
