DJ Emma G is one of only a handful of well-respected female DJs from New Zealand. Dubbed ‘Golden Girl’ of the local D&B scene, she is the former Auckland house queen, and more recently renowned for rocking out her signature sound of upbeat, soulful drum & bass in clubs and on radio. Working in fashion by day, with a strong passion for promoting her love of intelligent music, it’s no doubt she has been influential in bringing back the sex appeal to such a male-dominated industry.

Growing up in a musical family, with a set of turntables at home belonging to her DJ/Producer brother, naturally led to an early discovery of adoration for electronic music. As a teen she set her mind to mastering the art of turntablism, developing her own unique style of seamless mixing which was to soon be unleashed onto dancefloors around the globe.

Debuting on student radio BFM in 1998, she quickly began to make a name for herself on the rave scene and was scouted in 2001 for what was to become a long-time stint hosting weekly on New Zealand dance radio station George FM. She was also selected for residencies all over Auckland and became one of the hottest DJs on the party circuit. A well-respected promoter, she is the face and signature sound of ‘Liquid Recreation’, one of the city’s most infamous monthly nights she created and toured around the country. Most recently her hit mix series ‘Soulside Sessions’ – a collaborative project with MC Tali has a solid fan base steadily rising around the worldwide web.

Performing alongside many of the industry’s most respected artists on tour down in New Zealand eventually led to an inevitable relocation to the UK, to immerse herself in the scene where the heart of Drum & Bass truly began. Busy making moves and grooves around the Northern Hemisphere, the esteemed Integral imprint has taken Emma G on as label manager and she is regularly being snapped up to play sets around Europe; highlights include BEATPATROL festival in Austria and the legendary SUN AND BASS.

Emma G’s DJ sets are epitomized by heart and soul matched with magnetic bass, and a combination of lush, deep introspective rollers and uplifting dance floor smashers. She is all about creating a journey of sound and bass magic for her listeners and dancers. She swears by Soul:R, Metalheadz, the likes of Calibre, A.I., Lenzman, LSB, Dub Phizix, Skeptical and of course her own Integral family of artists to name just a few. If the vibe’s alive, it’ll be on hot rotation!

Emma G has toured New Zealand and Australia, all around Europe and UK and is due to hit the States next after playing a successful show in New York recently. Make sure she comes to visit your town next! Bring on the worldwide ‘Soulside’ drum & bass vibes.
