Emily Jeanne is crafting a unique space for herself amongst an expressive new wave of DJs and producers. Effortlessly stitching together sets that meld skeletal broken beats and propulsive 4×4 with moments of weightless Ambient and heady Drone music, the Belgian-Vietnamese artist is a smooth and agile operator in full control of her art.
As clubland becomes a battle for unbridled intensity, DJs with an ear for nuance are a scarce and valuable resource. Taking risks in front of a crowd – well primed or just through the door, requires a certain confidence and versatility; the same goes for the kind of unfamiliar blends and sonic left turns that make for memorable dancefloor moments. It’s a confidence built from a career that’s developed organically.
