Born in 1980 and based in Southampton, England, Gareth Emery is a producer and DJ of trance music who comes from a diverse musical background that has included classical piano training, jazz, and even a little punk rock. Emery has emerged in the last few years as one of the world's major trance DJs, his talent finally being recognised when he was ranked #34 in the 2006 DJ Mag Poll and now #31 in the 2007 poll.
Emery first came to the attention of the electronic music community early in 2002 when his debut vinyl release, a white label remix of The Shrink's classic 'Nervous Breakdown', was broadcast live on BBC Radio 1 from the Mardi Gras festival on Judge Jules' show. After being championed by a host of DJs including Eddie Halliwell, Pete Tong, Guy Ornadel, Scot Project and Dave Pearce, 'Nervous Breakdown' was immediately picked up by Nutrition for an official release and later featured on a number of compilations including the Godskitchen Direct mix album.
Following the hard tech-trance flavour of 'Nervous Breakdown', Gareth turned his attention back to his traditional home of trance with his next release, a double a-side comprised of the tracks 'Psiclone' and 'Flood Control' on his own label Influential. The release picked up considerable support from all the major trance spinners including Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten.
However, the track that truly put Emery on the production map was GTR – 'Mistral', which was the fourth track he had produced, produced entirely on a laptop computer over the course of a two week holiday in Provence. Nevertheless, the sole CDR that Gareth sent to Paul van Dyk caused a storm when van Dyk debuted it live on radio from the Nature One Festival. 'Mistral' received huge support from the some of the world's leading DJ's, including Tiësto, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten, and highly positive reviews in Mixmag, Muzik, and DJ.
Emery has made regular appearances at British nightclubs such as Godskitchen, Slinky, The Gallery and Passion, has established an international residency in Vancouver, and now frequently plays all over the globe. The remainder of his time is divided between producing dance tracks under his various guises and running Five AM records, one of the UK's leading trance record labels.
Emery has a distinctive and unique production style that can perhaps best be described as a fusion of trance and progressive, with psy, tribal and techno flavours. His productions have been described as intelligent, driving, melodic and progressive. His dub mixes are often done in his signature "stuttering vocal" style, a style he pioneered on his early hit 'Bouncebackability,' which he co-produced with John O'Bir.
Gareth Emery produces the 'Gareth Emery Podcast', a fortnightly 45-minute mix featuring ten cutting edge dance music tracks. Ranging from electro to progressive, trance to techno. The podcast is available through iTunes or for direct download from the Official Podcast Website, which includes information on the podcast and a full tracklist archive. The podcast was nominated for "best podcast" at this years Miami Winter Music Conference 2007.
