Mixes

Emkay (Maria Korkeila) is a designer, DJ and producer currently based in Helsinki. Korkeila plays regularly at Helsinki's clubs from @PostBar to Club Kaiku and Stidilä, in addition to which she hosts a monthly radio show called Tête-à-Tête on @Ida_Radio Helsinki where she explores house, trance, or techno music from many perspectives. She releases music kind of everywhere, but do not miss out her track on @radiantlove IWD compilation among other artists as @roza-terenzi or @maara. Peace <3

TOMBOLOMIXX 058 - Emkay

artist from Finland — emkay. Though we are not entirely sure of her origin as emkay is simply one of her alter-egos. Thus details may even be deliberately misleading. Maria has already released two EPs this year, one on local Post Sonics and the other on Super Utu from Melbourne. Both works greatly emphasize her taste and character and as far as we know their physical copies are still available on different platforms — so I would be in haste.

Emkay [Mind Controlled Rectifier Show] [10.11.2021]

The latest episode in our mix series comes from the dj/producer emkay, also known as the fashion and textile designer Maria Korkeila. In addition to her recent split cassette on 00 Recordings, there will be an EP for Craigie Knowes in September as well as some brand new material under her Gem-K alias to be released later.

RITMIX VOL.1 W/ EMKAY

Producer, DJ, singer and fashion designer Maria Korkeila aka emkay (aka gem-K) weaves through genres like patchworking fabric.

For Honey Trap, Maria brings to us some of that good moody downtempo ambiance. Think rays of sunlight creeping through a heavy-hanging sky of clouds. A haze over Paris. A crisp January breeze. 

Feel it. Breathe it. Hear It.

Outsiders: Honey Trap w/ emkay @ Kiosk Radio 23.01.2025

The first mix on our series closes out the year and begins between pillows and soothing rest. 

@emkaybymk soundtracks that moment just before you wake up and open your eyes; a slow slippage of consciousness from dreamstate to revival, the scattered figments of a dream you desperately try to grab onto as it gradually fractures, disperse and slip through your fingers, floating beyond reach, making way for a dawning reality.

Sink deeper into her vibe with the new Trickpony, 24/7 Heaven now out on Step Ball Chain.
