Birmingham dubstep producer/DJ Emalkay, pronounced M – L – K, is one of the most exciting talents to emerge on the scene in recent times. 2009’s anthem ‘When i look at you’ kick started Emalkay’s sudden rise to prominence, and he’s showing no signs of stopping.

‘When I Look at You’ was not only been heavily supported by the scene’s biggest artists, it was chosen by both BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe and the Guardian newspaper as single of the week, and received a healthy amount of airplay courtesy of Radio 1 and 1Xtra. However, not content with producing arguably the biggest underground anthem of 2009, Emalkay got straight onto remixing tracks for the likes of Faithless, Freeland, BBE and the Amon Tobin/Doubleclick duo Two Fingers, which featured the vocals of UK hip hop artist Sway.

Having been previously signed to the Boka Records imprint, Emalkay already has a healthy back catalogue of releases under his belt – most notably the 2007 anthem ‘Mecha’, which helped pioneer the heavier sound of dubstep with its cinematic, sluggish beats and gut-wrenching bass. As of 2008 – and with the production of ‘Explicit’ – Emalkay was snapped up by the prestigious Dub Police label that helped pave the way for his most recent success.

Now, with a handful of fresh tracks circulating amongst the hottest names in dubstep, and an album signed to Dub Police, things can only get better for the Birmingham producer who has since gone on to headline events all over the world, including the United States and Australia.
