World premiere

At Rewire, Paris-based producer emma dj will perform a world premiere live performance of forthcoming, unreleased material and songs from his Lay2g (2024) album – a blog-house-revivalist release that marks a clubbier direction for the artist. A master-crafted – or, indeed, MSTRKFT’d – work of non-airy nostalgia, Lay2g is concrete and refreshing. The fragments of influences that it pulls from – raucous dance punk, French-touch, and bloghouse sounds – lay the groundwork for an effervescent album that provides a bodily, club-oriented experience, where a listener might feel one limb being pulled into the past and another being dragged into the future. emma dj encapsulates the playful possibilities and experimental fervour of the bloghouse era – taking its sonic aesthetic and transforming it into a gorgeous, modern symphony of sine-wave synths, vocal chops, and club-ready beats.
