Released: September 2010

The rise of Gareth Emery to dance musics premier league has been untraditional in almost every sense, and looking at his career, one gets the feeling he almost likes being the underdog. In 2009, when he was advised against launching his Garuda club night in the midst of one of the harshest recessions in living memory, he went ahead regardless, going on to totally sell-out every Garuda party that year. He also chose the road less travelled in 2006, when he turned down numerous offers from established radio stations to instead experiment with a virtually unknown format known as podcasting. It was a gamble that paid off, as four years and 100 episodes later, The Gareth Emery Podcast is now one of the most popular and influential dance music downloads in the world, with Emerys famously diverse track selection and charismatic broadcasting style resulting in TGEP being nominated for Best Podcast at the Miami Winter Music Conference IDMA Awards three years running.

At just 29, Gareth Emerys well on the way to conquering the electronic music world, and if he finally cracks that artist album, he might just do it. Whatever happens though, 2010s set to be a big one, as the worldwide Garuda massive eagerly await to see whats coming next from this uniquely talented artist. We cant wait – see you on the dancefloor.

Above is the video for the first single ‘Gareth Emery feat. Lucy Saunders’ – Sanctuary within his debut artist album ‘Northern Lights’ set to be released in September.
