Emelyne

Naarm / Melbourne

Emelyne is an active force within Naarm’s vibrant music scene. Her one of a kind energy and enthusiasm around music brings people together telling narratives of history through her woven tapestry of forgotten gems and little heard global sounds.

Emelyne is revered for her versatile bag of selections, with a special affinity for UK-inspired sounds, bombastic broken beat, forward-thinking rhythmic productions and booming dub.

She taps into her love for bass heavy and experimental sounds through weekly show The Blend on PBS fm (co-hosted with Bevin Campbell) and you can catch her serving funky goodness behind the counter at Northside Records. She’s a sucker for the sweetest slow jams, the deepest darkest low end frequencies, largely influenced by sound system culture with roots in soul, jazz and post-punk.

Her prowess behind the decks has led her to support esteemed artists far and wide including MC Yallah, Coki, Shackleton, Spanish Fly, Azu Tiwaline, Loefah, Yushh, Sully, Mark N, HTRK, Aya, Yaeji, Dj Plead and Kush Jones to name a few, as well as grace iconic stages like Soft Centre, Sydney Opera House (Vivid), Inner Varnika, Potato Head Bali, Soma Festival, Golden Plains Festival, Strawberry Fields and beyond.

Her passion for radio has seen her hit the waves on NTS Radio, Worldwide FM, Dublab LA, Noods Radio, LYL, and of course - Skylab Radio. The mixes have a growing cult following with more to come focusing on lost gems around the world close to the heart.

As a long-time and thoughtful collector, Emelyne's sense of joy and exploration always comes through in the ways she shares music. Her bass-heavy tapestries invite us to listen closer to reconsider the borders, embrace the in-between and invite in what's unfamiliar - broadening our sense of space and time both inside and outside the dance floor.
