PREMIERE: Aiokai & Strangle - Take Me [4NC¥ // DarkMode]

emplate - Cleveland, Ohio

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.

Aiokai is a drum & bass producer known for his versatile productions that take inspiration from rave music, and can range from brutal neuro heaters like Hell Is Repetition (A Records) to frenetic jump up bangers like Blue Eyes w/Jack Virgil and mellow liquid anthems like Take Me (4NC¥ //DarkMode), showing that Aiokai can go from mosh pit fire starters to catchy jump up tunes in a second, with finesse and without losing his characteristic idiosyncrasy.

He has been seen wreaking havoc in festivals like EDC Mexico 2024, 2023, Locus Tulum 2022 and in countries like Italy, Croatia, Germany and Colombia. He has become an important part of the Mexican bass music scene, thanks to being a member of Jessica Audiffred’s label A Records and Isaac Maya’s LOWFREQMX.

Aiokai also owns IX Recorders, an imprint that strives to offer a platform to anything unique & transcendent in the realms of hard, bass and melodic electronic music. Started in 2024, the label is continuously releasing music from some of the most active and boundless members of the Mexican electronic music scene, who have shows at festivals like EDC Mexico, Mad House and in the international stage. IX Recorders looks forward to continuing pushing exceptional musicians, and to expand their reach. Next stop, the world.
