Desert Reckoning

I'm excited to share this - It's an electronic world house tune that follows a story.

'Penumbra' means a space of partial illumination around a dense shadow (like an eclipse). In medical terms it is referred to as the area that surrounds a core of dead tissue following an ischaemic event like a stroke. Penumbra tissue is potentially destined to die too - but can be saved if it receives the right treatment quickly.

I chose 'Penumbra' for the name of this song and as a means to reflect on my own healing journey - which I'm sure is widely relatable. Shadow work can be terrifying and dark.. and at times, the worst outcome can feel inevitable. And sometimes.. it may be... 
And sometimes, when the shadow is held up to the light, we may find an area of vulnerability, of Penumbra. The partial light around or next to the dark. This area, when understood and held correctly, can heal - despite all expectation and likelihood that it wouldn't. And, if given what it needs at the right time, can survive and even learn to dance ✨

Rabbits Eat Lettuce 2024 - The Stomp

'Finding Ground' is a term that my loved ones and I use to communicate when we needed just that. This means taking an intentional moment to acknowledge an inner (or outer) storm and to dig deep to find what is needed to feel grounded when things feel chaotic and up in the air.

The song starts with what I usually need, something warm and nourishing. A reminder of the beauty in the world and a moment to connect to my people and the earth. Usually once feeling warm, safe and connected, there's space to process and move whatever it is that needs to be moved... be that by dancing like a crazy jaguar lady, stomping till my knees hurt, or rolling around in the grass rocking a solid bass face. The first drop in this song is for just that.. and the second drop, even more so. 

I hope that this song helps others find some ground during their storms.. and it helps you move whatever it is that may need to be moved.

Finding Ground

My set at Initiation Festival this year was a journey that travelled through a range of genres with ethnic influences; including house, drum and bass, breaks, tech-house and bass-house. It was such a joy to dance and perform fire throughout the set to each of my own tracks alongside some incredible female performers <3

A big thank you to the festival for the awesome main stage slot, to the stage & fire crew, and to the crowd for your energy and bass faces!

Emmotica is an Australian mutli-genre music producer, DJ and fire performer known for pulling crowds with her primal, high-energy bass, tribal chants and driving rhythms. Emmotica doesn’t just stay behind the decks - she’ s a flow-state huntress; often dancing with the crowd and spinning fire between mixing tracks. Her sets weave through rhythmic deep house, bass house, tech house, drum and bass and everything in between. She draws elements from many cultures all around the world into a journey through music, dance and fire.

The tracks that she produces tell deep, relatable stories, and are curated with the intention to dance and perform fire. She’s released music with the Canadian label Wildfire Recordings and her tunes have been shared around Australia’s radio stations including a spotlight with Sophdexx on Sista’s of Spin in Byron Bay FM 99.9 NSW and on QLD’s 4zzz Raveyard FM 102.1.

Emmotica has played at iconic music festivals including Rabbits Eat Lettuce, Initiation Festival, Wizards of Kingston, and events with Love Camp (Jungle Love & Bohemian Beatfreaks), Misheen Productions, 8 Mile Yacht Club, the Wonky Queenslander & Native Productions.

Sometimes, it’s just her - one woman, the music, and her fire, pulling the crowd into the moment. Other times, she builds something even bigger, collaborating with aerialists, fire dancers, and other performers to create a full-scale spectacle. Whether it’s a solo act or a multi-artist experience, every set is immersive, raw and pulls a crowd from every corner of the festival. An Emmotica set is a whole experience, deeply personal and wildly expansive - best enjoyed loud and in the forest!
