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 (eye-oh-kai) is a drum & bass producer recognized for his versatility and ability to draw inspiration from across the rave and bass music spectrum. His productions range from brutal neuro heaters to frenetic jump-up bangers and mellow liquid anthems. As a DJ renowned for his incomparable skills, Aiokai can go from mosh pit fire starters to catchy mainstage tunes in a second, with finesse and without losing his characteristic idiosyncrasy.

He has brought his explosive energy to major stages such as EDC Mexico 2023 and 2024, Locus Tulum 2022, and as a supporting act for Jessica Audiffred’s Rave New World Tour (360 Set). His international reach has taken him to Croatia, Germany, Italy, Colombia, and Puerto Rico, establishing him as a global presence in the bass music scene.

On the production side, Aiokai has released music through respected labels including A Records, 4NC¥ //DarkMode, LOWFREQMX, Histeria Records, and Eyesome Collective.
