Hawaiian-born, Los Angeles-based producer KEPIK has established himself as a multi-genre force of nature with a sound that transcends trap, melodic bass, house, dubstep, trance, and beyond. Returning to Heaven Sent comes the moody hardwave anthem “My Demons.” The single arrives on the heels of his recent label offering “Ghost Of You” alongside London-based singer/songwriter LYCA.
“My Demons” is a captivating concoction of gripping emotional appeal and explosive electronic eruptions. Opening with the sound of a beating heart, the introduction is cinematic and thematic, as sullen guitar licks drift beneath the brooding, melancholic female vocal. Sweeping listeners into a breathtaking wave progression, the vocals match the increasing intensity in delivery and lyrical force. The first drop is an explosion of emotion with blistering Reese bass, punchy drum patterns, and an air of weightlessness that stretches straight into the cosmos. KEPIK pulls the piece back down to earth allowing the vocals to take center stage before building to an epic finale. The latter half is a riveting ride through glorious hardwave and halftime mayhem that sees the producer exploring the deepest and darkest depths of his demons while still coming out the other side unscathed.
KEPIK breaks down the profound meaning behind his latest creation: “‘My Demons’ is a song about the struggles with mental health and the internal battle against darkness and depression. It takes listeners on a rollercoaster journey by confronting their inner demons, but ultimately finding peace by embracing them. We all go through these dark times at various points in our lives, where the weight of our emotions makes it almost unbearable. This song is a reflection of those moments and acknowledges the pain, fear, and isolation that can accompany dealing with mental health.”
Born in Hawaii and now based in Los Angeles, KEPIK has been creating his own lane with a multi-genre discography that’s powered by emotional appeal and immersive soundscapes. The producer has been seeing a new level of success with previous singles “Jar of Hearts” and “Be Without You,” featuring Luma, each gaining over a million streams. His most recent label offering “Ghost Of You,” has drawn press coverage from Frontview Magazine, Indie Dream, Aipate, Beat for Beat, Find Your Sounds, and Ratings Game Music. KEPIK has been tapped for remixes by Trivecta and Haliene, in addition to gaining support from Illenium, Gryffin, Alison Wonderland, R3HAB, Seven Lions, and more.
Inventive, captivating, and soul-shaking, “My Demons” is an intense audio exploration into the depths of one’s soul.
