B4K3D Music events take place every last weekend of the month, revealing talented electronic DJ's and producers from around the globe and expanding the clubbing experience to any indoor and outdoor environments people may be in.

As a family, we believe it is time to think more livestream and less mainstream ; just like B4K3D initial events aimed to discover gifted artists in Switzerland, B4K3D Music! events grant emerging prodigies to bloom worldwide.

B4K3D is a 100% self funded project implying developers, illustrators and musicians all giving a huge amount of their free time. It also involves multiple servers, licenses and hosting fees which are all covered by the founders for the community to enjoy freely. 

Your support can keep the events happening, grow their frequency and extend the platform into a broad channel with amazing music available for everyone. Your contribution can also help B4K3D reach further out, allowing the best sounds to land safely into your ears and make your heart beat.

May you shine in the sky and be part the B4K3D constellation!

About Emanate:
Emanate is an American electronic music duo consisting of Emily Fox and Nathan Vain, known for their signature blend of techno, house, and progressive electronic music. The pair are celebrated for their atmospheric productions, emotive storytelling, and hypnotic live performances that bridge melodic techno with underground house.

Formed in 2009 and based in San Francisco California, Emanate have released music on respected international labels such as Second State, Click Records, Unseen, Family Piknik, Culprit LA, Prisma Techno, and their own imprint, Mioli Music. Their productions have earned widespread DJ support and global recognition within the modern techno scene.

Early Life and Formation:
Emily Fox and Nathan Vain were both born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and shared a strong musical upbringing. Each studied classical instruments in school — notably the viola — and developed early passions for performance and composition.

Nathan began DJing on vinyl in the late 90s, immersed in the early underground rave scene, while Emily honed her craft as a vocalist, songwriter, and synthesist in various bands before transitioning into electronic production and DJing.

Their shared creative direction and love for underground culture led to the formation of Emanate in 2009. Their early influences from the warehouse and festival circuit across the U.S. shaped the foundation of their sound and ethos. They also studied music production at Pyramind University in San Francisco which further developed their passion and skillset.

Emanate’s music is often described as “vibey techno with elements of house” — a balance of groove, melody, and emotional depth. Their sound fuses driving rhythms and melodic tension, with cinematic sound design that evokes introspection and euphoria.

Influences include Brian Eno, Hans Zimmer, Underworld, Danny Elfman, and Sasha & Digweed. Nathan’s musical background spans punk rock, industrial, hip hop, and ambient, drawing inspiration from artists like Ministry, Massive Attack, and Wu-Tang Clan, while Emily’s musical background includes Fleetwood Mac, Trentemøller, and NWA.
