Originally from the UK. Started mixing Drum n Bass back in 1999. 

Started playing hip-hop, breaks & DnB at a few venues in Maidstone around 2003 and eventually had residencies at River bar, Source Bar and IKON, as well as a weekly slot on Innocence FM.

Moved to New York and got back on the decks after a number of years away. Managed to get a residency at The Back Room in lower Manhattan playing open format that ran for most of 2021

Still have a major passion for Drum n Bass and looking to get involved in the scene here in the city

Emil started producing music in the early days of Fasttracker II. That is over 20 years ago ! Shortly after bought his first synthesizers, a Roland JV-2080 and Yamaha CS1x and made a lot of Happy Hardcore tunes.

A few years ago he gave his hobby new life with a Roland Fantom G6 workstation, and started producing again. Which led to some great tracks like the remix of Lady Gaga's Papparazzi ! He came in contact with fellow producers and soon moved to software-only synthesizers like Sylenth1.

Emilio is inspired by Armin van Buuren, DJ Tiësto, Paul Oakenfold and Paul Van Dyk. If you listen closely you should even be able to hear some Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis influences in his songs.

I am 165 cm tall blonde girl...the one in the middle :)
