EMC is honored to introduce Joachim Spieth!

Joachim is a German DJ, music producer, and label owner who emerged musically in the late nineties and has since developed a multi-faceted spectrum of sound between the poles of ambient and spherical techno. Characteristic of his work is the attention to detail and a sensitive sensorium for the creation of atmospheres, which one can hardly escape, no matter if this takes place in his studio work or his performances.

After several years of intensive collaboration with @wolfgang_voigt’ s @kompakt imprint, he founded his label, @affin, in 2007, which has been constantly developing ever since and has made a name for itself internationally. As a prolific producer, Joachim has released several albums in the past years such as Irradiance, Tides, Ousia, Terrain, and Reshape project, which features variations of his music tracks by @alvanoto, ASC, @bvdub_music and others. Together with @markusguentner, Joachim recently started a collaborative project, releasing the Overlay album followed by Overlay Variations in which the two artists use the elements taken from Overlay to to create completely new pieces of music.

Welcome to the first episode of the year of our Shapes playlist! Welcome to Flaw

Flavio aka Flaw had a constant relationship with music, leading him to numerous experiences as a musician and always gravitating towards the world of electronic music. DJ/Selector based in Bologna, Flaw is part of the Girovelle Psicotronice family, playing techno, fresh breakbeat/trance, electro and progressive sounds.

A fusion between past and contemporary, new releases and re-emerged records complement each other by always trying to tell something different, the defined idea of the sounds that he loves does not hinder a continuous and obsessed turnover of his archive. This set reflects this attitude, starting with an atmospheric and syncopated intro, then building a climax that reaches the peak and successively descends down to an introspective ground floor.

Enjoy!

A new year, a new chapter for EMC! We start 2024 with a new graphic design and with our first guest for the Atmospheres playlist! Welcome to Lateral Movement!

Originally from Portugal, Ricardo aka Lateral Movement moved to the UK in the nineties for studying. Diving right into the local music culture, effervescent as ever, he meandered effortlessly through genres, taking him deeper into the arts whilst aiding his curiosity, from free jazz to indietronica. Returning to Portugal, Ricardo became a strong supporter of the alternative scenes, embarking on a different kind of journey and took upon himself the responsibility of discovering new music and sharing it with the community. To this day deep techno and its many guises are his passion, especially the deeper and hypnotic realms, where ambience and atmosphere play the main role.

Enjoy!

EMC is excited to introduce the last Shapes episode of 2023! Welcome to Kali!

As a selector, Kali ’s musical style fluctuates around trance infused house, high-speed techno stirred up with breaks and electro. Having started her journey as a dj at queer parties in 2013, Kali soon gained experience in organizing events, always striving to create a safe space for LGBTQI+ people in Budapest. Her mission has always been to reinforce the representation of queer people and womxn in the electronic music scene. She was part of the technosexual party collective of @omohbp. Since 2019 she’s an active member of @persephoneparty a queer feminist collaboration dedicated to showcase FLINTA artists. In the past years Kali had the chance to show her fast-forward style to the audience abroad by playing at the Lecken-OMOH-Persephone after party in Kake, Berlin, heating up the dancefloor before @jakojako_live in Munich’s @harrykleinclub, returning to Zürich’s FLINTA parties organized by GLITBAQ, and bringing her positive energy to Innsbruck’s @arche-ahoi club. This past summer she brought her hi-energy vibes at @daadgathering and the famous @ozora-festival.

October starts with a very special episode! EMC welcomes Owl!

Owl is a Belgian electronic music producer having started producing under the alias @glyphdnb with his friend @the_clearlight. First spotted on @nordlabel, then more recently on @silent-season, @relationreset, @lowless-music and @huinalidub, Owl's aptitude for creating subtle, lush sonic journeys keeps expanding and his last releases should further cement his reputation. From autonomic dnb, deep techno to a dreamy & melancholy ambient journey, his discography is in perpetual evolution. Owl has quietly been rising through the ranks of a genre-bending leftfield sound where sonic depth and expressiveness prevail.

Check this special mix he put together for EMC! Enjoy!
