Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hey guys, I´m Emmzet, dj and producer from Stuttgart, currently living in Cape Town, South Africa.
In 2014 I did my first moves as a dj by creating the 'isolated' events brand alongside friends. The idea behind the project was to offer events that are clearly differentiated from the generic party-scene, with underground electronic music and more precisely deep and tech house forming the core music policy.
?
Not satisfied with just being a dj, I delved into the world of electronic music production and released since original records on a variety of labels across the world. With releases on Baikonur Recordings (Russia), Pickig (Germany) and Triplefire Music (South Africa).
?
I´m happy, that I could already perform at some of the most renowned electronic music venues in Germany and South Africa such as Afrika Burn Festival, Douala, Silodom, Club Zollamt, KONA and Mødular among others.
?
You can expect a wide array of sounds from from my dj sets and own productions, from funk filled tech house to vi-bey deep house and melodic techno. Here you can have listen to some of my tracks ?

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My first touch with electronic music was around 2006/2007 when we started to go clubbing in Stuttgart. In this time we had some legendary clubs like "Rocker33" or "Röhre" and I fell in love with electronic music, especially Deep / Tech House and Deep Techno. At the moment my biggest musical influence are productions with melodic breaks and the play with distorted synthesizer-sounds, like Township Rebellion or Stefan Bodzin. Besides that, I´m a big fan of groovy, funky or progressive electronic music! Labels I like and follow are: Suara, Dear Deer, Stil vor Talent, Diynamic, Katermukke, Moon Harbour, Noir, Anjunadeep, Monaberry and Get Physical amongst others.
What´s new right now?
Right now I´m working on several tracks with artists from Cape Town and Stuttgart. Furthermore I´m a new artist at the South African label "Triplefire Music" and you can catch me playing at some nice party in Cape Town soon, including a label showcase at the AfrikaBurn-Festival. Just follow me on my channels for all further information! ?
