Emalkay
It all started in his hometown of Birmingham way back in 2002 where he, with the help of his family of MCs, would scorch the airwaves weekly on pirate radio station, Silk FM. It was here that his love of dubplate culture, bass and DJing grew and it wasn't long before he had his first outing in the form of a limited white label EP in 2003, built in the bedroom with fellow radio DJ, D.e.e.p. It was dark, energetic and pushed the boundary of what was the popular underground sound of at that time. Trademarks that have since become synonymous with his name throughout his career right up to this moment.
More grime and proto-dubstep releases followed soon after but It wasn't until 2007, with Dubstep still in it's infancy that he gained prominence with his gut-twisting roller, "Mecha". What followed over the next 2 years were a slew of releases that were received with great acclaim and gained him a great deal of recognition all over the world. "Explicit/Heroics" in 2009 being a good example of just how far his sound had come and yet as uncompromising as ever. By now he was playing regularly across the UK and Europe and creatively this became a significant driving force behind his music. It was then at the end of 2009 that, wanting to do something bigger and bolder, Emalkay was ready to unleash his next weapon, "When I Look At You". Winning Dubstepforum's award for best track of '09 and described by Pitchfork as "Irresistible" and by Clash Magazine as "a monster", it was a track that shook the genre to it's very core. Some have since called it a game changer but Martin, characteristically grounded as always, described it as "A tune that needed to be made."
By this time, it should be noted, Emalkay was enjoying a highly successful remix career. His reworks of Pendulum's "Watercolour" and Faithless' "Sun to Me" in 2010 along with his more dark and rolling transformation of Miike Snow's "Silvia" the following year showed the world just how explosive and innovating his approach could be.
