Shuffle Demons - Are You Really Real (2025) [Official Digital Download]

With Are You Really Real, the band celebrates its 40th anniversary and delights audiences all over the world with its unique sound. Are You Really Real emphasizes the strengths of the Shuffle Demons: finely crafted compositions. The simple combination of bass, horns and drums reduces the music to ist basic elements, yet the result is a full sound refined with formidable grooves.

Shuffle Demons have captured the magic of their renowned live performances with this new release, recorded at the iconic Canterbury Music studio in Toronto with producer Jono Grant and engineer Julian Decorte. The stripped-down combination of bass, horns, and drums creates a bold and full-bodied sound, setting the stage for high-level improvisation and dynamic grooves.

Born out of Toronto’s vibrant street scene in 1984, Shuffle Demons have built a legacy as innovators of genre-defying music. Are You Really Real celebrates this history while pushing their music forward, blending traditional jazz elements with modern funk, blues, and rap influences. From intricate horn lines to joyful chaos, the album promises a listening experience like no other.
