UK DJ/producer Emily Nash announces her forthcoming EP Kinda Like That with its heavy-hitting lead single and title track. Emily Nash releases her new EP Kinda Like That on the 4th of December via Thrive Music
Following a huge 12 months of releases and standout appearances at The Warehouse Project, Drumsheds, Creamfields, Hideout and Ibiza institutions Pacha, Amnesia and Ushuaïa, Emily Nash has cemented her reputation as a rising force in the global underground.
Since then, Emily’s built a reputation for high-energy tech-house cuts that pair pumping rhythms with melodies for a sound that oscillates between melancholy and euphoria. There’s a reason her tracks are consistently on high rotation across some of Ibiza’s biggest dancefloors: they’re designed for peak-time crowds and never-ending Balearic nights. That appetite for club music extends into speed garage and drum ’n’ bass through her underground project EM11, which debuted at UNVRS on a bill headlined by Sara Landry and Marlon Hoffstadt.
Q: Please introduce yourself
Hey my name's Emily Nash I'm a DJ & Producer and I’ve been producing for about 6 years and I’m from a small town called Kidderminster.
Q: One person you'd dream to have a coffee with?
Calvin Harris. I’ve supported him twice and he’s always been really nice, so I’d love to sit down for a coffee and have a proper chat with him.
Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
Teleportation. It would make getting to and from gigs so much easier — no airports, no traffic, just straight there!
Q: If you would have been given the chance to do a film score, what movie would you choose and why?
Baby Driver. The music is such a huge part of the film, and I love how it completely changes the feel of each scene. I’d love to create something like that.
Q: Who has been the most influential in your music career? And why?
Probably my parents, especially early on. They were always playing music at home and taking me to Glastonbury, so they definitely played a big part in my love for music.
Q: Tell us about your journey, what got you to where you are today?
I started getting into music properly when I studied it at college, where I first started learning production. From there I taught myself a lot and started putting more and more time into making music and DJing. Jaguar from BBC Introducing gave me my first Radio 1 play, which really helped get things moving and gave me a lot of confidence.
Since then I’ve been lucky enough to release music on some amazing labels, play incredible shows and travel the world doing what I love. I’m still learning and pushing myself all the time, and I’m excited to see where it goes next.
Q: What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone just starting out their career in music?
Don’t give up and don’t be scared to put yourself out there. Take every opportunity you can, even if it feels like a small one, because you never know where it might lead.
Q: Can you recall a DJ set or performance of yours that remains unforgettable to you? Where did it take place, and what makes it stand out among all others?
I was lucky enough to have my second ever gig at Creamfields, so I definitely went straight into the deep end! I remember absolutely loving it and it made me realise how much I wanted to do this.
Q: How has your music style evolved over the years?
I started off making much more commercial music, but over time I’ve been moving towards a cooler, deeper sound. I’m really enjoying exploring that side of my music at the moment.
Q: If you were to venture into another music genre, which one would you choose and why?
UK garage. I actually have an alias called EM11 where I make that kind of music. I’ve always loved UKG and I’m a big fan of Sammy Virji, so it’s something I really enjoy making.
Q: Could you name 3 tracks that got you into electronic music and why?
1- Duke Dumont – I Got U.
This was one of the first tracks I really loved. I was 17 when it came out and I remember Duke Dumont playing at Café Mambo and I snook into the VIP area to get closer. It definitely made me want to discover more music like it.
2- Gorgon City – Saving My Life.
This is one of my favourite songs of all time and definitely one that got me more into house music. I loved the vocal, the melody and the whole feel of the track, and I remember Gorgon City playing it at Radio 1 Weekend in Ibiza.
3- Disclosure – Latch.
This was another big one for me. I remember it being a real Glastonbury core memory, and it showed me how electronic music could still have such a strong vocal and songwriting side to it. I think that really influenced what I love about music now.
Q: Can you recommend a hidden gem in your home country that would be perfect for a rave?
The Eden Project. I think it would be such a cool setting for a rave, especially at night with all the lights and production around the biomes. It would be pretty unreal.
Q: Could you tell us about your upcoming releases and plans for the year?
I’ve got my new EP, Kinda Like That, coming out, which I’m really excited about. I’ve been working on loads of new music and I’m moving towards a slightly cooler, deeper sound, so I’m excited for people to hear what I’ve been working on. I’ve also got some cool shows coming up that I'm really excited about!
Q: Can you share a fun fact about yourself that most of your listeners are probably unaware of?
I actually have a secret UKG alias called EM11. It’s a completely different side of me musically, so you should definitely check it out!
