emplate first heard the sounds of Jungle/Drum & Bass in the summer of '96 and was instantly enchanted. A drummer, and heavily influenced by hip hop, metal, industrial, classical and jazz; emplate believes drum and bass embodies everything he had been listening to and loved before it.

In '99 he knew that listening was not enough. He needed more than mixtapes and parties to get his fix. Inspired by the DJs around him and his love for DnB, he dedicated himself to seeking knowledge, selection and skill. emplate soon became respected both technically and for his sets that interweave neurofunk and darker, minimal DNB tunes that are often peppered with liquid dancefloor tracks if the mood is right.

In 2006, emplate became a resident DJ at the former weekly and nationally recognized DnB event "in:verse". Always interested in moving the scene forward, emplate helped develop The Cleveland Drum n Bass Coalition and (216)BASS, both local platforms that Northeast Ohio DnB heads used as a vehicle to further their careers. In August of 2014, emplate joined up with Rockers Music. Excited about having a DnB label out of Cleveland, emplate spearheaded the local launch of the Rockers 175 label with the “Step Inside” & "Kismet" monthly events held at the Beachland Ballroom, bringing in names such as: Lenzman, Doc Scott, Total Science, Zero T, The Prototypes, Crissy Criss, DJ SS, Aphrodite, Dara, AK1200, Dieselboy & more. After stepping away from the label & the turbulent life of event promotions, he focused on being the best DJ he could be...taking his mixing to new levels & determined to prove that he's underrated, not only in his hometown & state, but the U.S. as a whole.

For two decades, emplate has been known for his diverse selection of up to date releases, promos & unreleased tracks & plays accordingly to timeslot, crowd & vibe.

Born and raised in Hungary. 


I got introduced to Electronic Music by my Father at a very young age. My very first inspirations were artists like Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield, etc.

Mid 90's inspirations: The Prodigy, Faithless, The Chemical Brothers.

I got my very first Drum and Bass album featuring Bad Company, Stakka & Skynet tracks from my cousin in around 2000-01.

I instantly fell in love with the genre and started to dig into it by discovering artists, collecting music and attending venues.

In the later years, I started DJing and experimenting with music production. Moved to the UK in 2006-07, where I spent a few years, bought my decks and collected vinyls.

I mostly enjoy the deeper side of Electronic music such as: Atmospheric / Experimental / techy D&B, 170BPM based music, ambient and techno.

Nowadays, I use Soundcloud to widen my spectrum in music and and keep connected to people who have similar music taste.

A few of my favourite quotes:
"The only solution for the artist of tomorrow is to go underground "

(Marcel Duchamp, 1961)

“The clearest way to the universe is through a forest wilderness”

"People assume that the meaning of a song is vested in the lyrics. To me, that has never been the case. There are very few songs that I can think of where I remember the words." (Brian Eno) 

"All previous bio-forms are repeated in the individual" (Boris Koshelokhov)

“The Music Was New, Black, Polished Chrome And Came Over The Summer Like Liquid Night."

BIOGRAPHY:

Hustle Audio began life in February 2009 with James Green (Decade) and Phil Innes (Phil Hustle) teaming up to create an imprint that served as a base for Nottinghamshire and midlands producers and artists.

After gathering rapid pace in the scene, the label quickly spread it's wings worldwide. Many new signings followed resulting in a torrent of fresh beats. 

With numerous article features, great commercial and pirate radio exposure, a dedicated following of fans and producers alike, Hustle Audio has gained deserved respect amongst the highest ranks within Drum &amp; Bass.

We're here to provide what we think is a quality output, nothing else. No "philosophies", no pretentious ideals or stereotypical agendas, just solid music.

Now back in 2018 after a 5 year break, expect more music very soon!

Music makes my world go round. However the day starts, music can make the best out of it and changes bad moods into good ones.
Every mood has its musical equivalence you only have to figure out which of the various styles existing fits the best.
My whole respect goes out to all dedicating their life to create and share music for passionate listeners like me.

Love and passion for life and beats!!
