Stemming from over 15 years of collecting a vast amount of vinyl and an
innate obsession with all forms of music, Emanuel became deeply
inspired by the thriving underground scenes of San Francisco, NY and
Chicago. At the age of 15 he bought his first pair od decks and tape player. What started out a s hobbie playing the music he loved turned into a full time career. He Started out playing mobile DIY rave parties to cultivate the
uniquely diverse sound he is known for today. While he started out
playing at underground parties throughout Northern California, it
wasn't long before he caught the eyes and ears of clubs and promoters
alike, and was soon booked at many of the top clubs throughout San
Francisco, including 1015, The End up, Liquid, Sunset parties, Bolinas
full moon parties, Groove Lounge with long time friend Miguel Migs and
many more…
After travelling to Thailand in 2000, he made the choice to
move to the pulsating city of Bangkok and has now become a key figure
in the development of the Bangkok club scene and helped make it the
global phenomenon it is quickly becoming. Emanuel’s name has become
synonymous with Bangkok’s club scene, both inside and outside of
Thailand. He has been to places as diverse as Singapore, Burma,
Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillipines and up and down Thailand.
His weekly night’s at Bed Supperclub has become one of the most talked
about nights throughout Asia and he is regularly called upon to play
among the top DJs in the world there ie. DJ Roog, Kid Massive, Robert
Owens, Rasmus Faber, Felix the Housecat, Dennis Ferrer, Martin Solvieg,
DJ Gregory, Johnny Fiasco, Copyright, Knee Deep, Ian Carey etc…
With a musical style that encompasses banging funky house,
electro, tribal, tech and acid house, Emanuel’s love of music is vast
and diverse. His strong emphasis on the technical aspects of djing as
well as his flawless programming of his sets, make him stand out from
the rest.
As well as DJing, Emanuel has been busy in the studio and has just put
the finishing touches on his unsigned debut house project with friend
