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.

27 year old dude from Finland who loves DnB/140 and other types of  electronic music! I also make some wacky mixes and tunes myself :D

DJ Valkyrie is a rising Drum and Bass DJ based in Central Pennsylvania, known for her energetic sets and deep-rooted passion for music. With a background that spans singing, guitar, keys, and live sound engineering, her musical journey began in her hometown of Enola, where she played an active role in her local church’s music ministry.

Valkyrie studied digital media and vocal performance at Valley Forge Christian College before earning an Associate’s degree in Music Business from Harrisburg Area Community College. Her love for performance led her to audition for American Idol producers, but her creative path truly began to take shape in March 2020, during the early days of the pandemic. It was then that she turned to DJing, training under the guidance of Durtyloose, NXT LVL Hype, and Eikkon.

Driven by a love for the underground and a commitment to the craft, DJ Valkyrie is currently a resident with Butthurt Records LLC, a collective rooted in Pennsylvania’s DNB scene.
