Emma dj doesn't give much away when it comes to his music. Twelve effortless stabs at post-bloghouse electronics brings the Paris-based, Finnish producer’s oeuvre out of the trap torpor of recent releases on Lee Gamble’s UIQ label, into the ecstatic crush of a world in chaos with the Lay2g LP on Danse Noire. Looking back at the late-2000s, early-2010s collision of the club and the stage, the album beckons to another era. It’s one of warehouse bands and indie sleaze, dance punk and industrial noise; a turn-of-the-millennium time where youth culture was rife with an after-9/11 nihilism so potent that an electro-drone band with a name like “Fuck Buttons” could be part of an Olympic opening ceremony.

Lay2g’s direct and dance-floor-friendly tracks with meaningless titles gleefully bump up against each other, whether in the crumbling industrial force of “I Fuck With Lies” or the propulsive gabber tempo of “Kd9.” It’s inspired by Emma’s early music education through hype.fm music charts and Dim Mak Records, with its echoes of Atari Teenage Riot’s digital hardcore or The Bloody Beetroots’ hoover synths. Crunchy, distorted, subs prop up the epic organ patches and math-y rhythmic structures of “RR.dkn.” A lumbering bass on “bQosYe” follows the lead of shattered top-end breakbeats and a syncopated vocal cut-up.

Managing the pain of contemporary reality with a sense of humor and humility is fundamental to the Nordic artist’s output, whether it’s in the wobbly subs of 2019’s Support Your Local Enemies or the offhand titling of 2023’s follow-up to Godrime, g0drm2. Meanwhile, Lay2g is a powerful, lightly-sardonic signpost in the no wave and mutant disco continuum, and a welcome harbinger of Paris’ deeply buried underground as it rears its uninhibited head.

Last Night I Dreamt I Was Alone

Last Night I Dreamt I Was Alone (Loukeman Remix)

which one (shavi. remix)

The Mirage - is a mirror held up to modern illusion, a 2-step sermon about how easy it is to mistake the shimmer for salvation. Over a warm, shuffling groove and deep, wobbling bass, the track tells the story of a world dying of thirst yet drinking lies to feel full.

The male vocal moves like a prophet lost in the crowd, speaking in fragments of poetry and truth. Each verse paints the mirage: screens that promise purpose, voices that sell comfort, faith that feels sweet but poisons slow. Beneath it all, the 2-step rhythm keeps pulsing like a heartbeat in the sand, the sound of people still moving even as the truth slips away.

The female vocal hook brings the ache and the warning. Her voice turns the desert into melody, singing for the lost who follow false light. “They drink the mirage, toast to the lie,” she repeats, part lament, part trance.

By the end, the beat fades like heat on asphalt, leaving only a whisper: the thirst is still there. “The Mirage” isn’t about the desert outside; it’s about the one we build within, a world where deception feels easier than truth, and the dance goes on while the wells run dry.
