Emmet are the ultimate electronic experience. A raucous blend of samples, synths, filters, vocoders and live percussion. Think Chemical Brothers meets Underworld meets Daft Punk meets Orbital; a genre-busting, live tour-de-force of beats, bleeps and grooves.
Why this name?
Emmet = outsiders
Do you play live?
We play live, of course we do.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Ah?
Band History:
Emmet are a fusion of dance music wizardry and pure live force. The Emmet philosophy is that dance music should be created live on stage and they succeed using an armoury of samples, filters, synths, vocals, vocoders, guitars and live rhythm creation. It’s an experience that has always made music thrilling; electrifying musicians, heart pounding rhythms and groin grabbing performances.
Emmet are:
Graeme: Vocals, guitars, synths
Ant: Live Electronic Percussion
Sheldon: Samples, filters, synths
Emmet promote their own nights of live electronic music ‘Disfunktional’ in the North West of England and host and produce ‘Digital Nation’ their own dance/electronic music show on Merseyside’s SOLAR 1287AM station.
The talents behind Emmet also have a wide range extra curricular musical activities. They have created a satirical dance band receiving coverage in the Sun, Mixmag, and have even performed live on Radio 1 in front of noneother than Fatboy Slim.An addition, they have created beds, mixes and music for Chris Moyles and Radio 1, remixed a famous theme tune for BBC TV and even penned a Christmas single for the Guinness/British Book of Hit Singles.
Lets make the noise!
What the media say about Emmet
“Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner…completely amazing…truly unique for Manchester based acts”. highvoltage.org.uk
”jam packed with so many synthesiser based, atmospheric, wall-to-wall sounds that it makes Kraftwerk look like an inefficient non-German rock band” leedsmusicscene.co.uk
“A Great White Shark of an electronica outfit cruising through the darker depths of the synth, sample and rhythm oceans. Beeps, blips and grooves that bite back.” Ents24.com
“The instrumental three-piece delight with a collection of pure sun-drenched dance flavoured anthems….if Jean Michel Jarre had kept up with the times, he might have come up with music as inventive as this” gigwise.com
“dance music made to be played live” manchestermusic.co.uk
"innovative, mesmerising and yet seeing them for the first time - were as familiar as a family friend. Go see them too and congratulate yourself on having such great taste." Clive Leighton, BBCi
