Keeping the Bass Balance: EMALKAY


2010 has proven to be a pretty exciting year so far with some really experimental new directions being explored in the big bass music. Future Garage is the buzzword of the moment, but some producers are keeping it underground with the deep and grimey eyes down bangers, Birmingham bad boy Emalkay being no exception.

Emalkay has a pretty impressive back catalogue. Big time selectors Benga, Mary Anne Hobbes and Plastician have all given some serious time for his hard style. Notably “Mecha” was a solid break for Emalkay on Boka Records as well as his first release on Dub Police “Explicit” really bringing him forward in the scene.



This man has had massive success over the past year with his release of “When I look At You” working its way into almost every British DJ’s mid set drops, but he don’t stop there! If his remix of Faithless’ “Sun to Me” is anything to go by, were looking at some exciting tings for the rest of the year; his coupling of the deepest sub-bass on the low and snappy melodic synths on the high make this track is a force to be reckoned with.



So get hyped Loughborough, with SBTRKT fronting the fresh future garage sounds and Emalkay laying down the relentless underground beats, the 24th March Dub-Boro party is set go OFF!
