01 May Remix Emika’s Flashbacks

Emika is a multi-faceted producer, singer/songwriter, composer, DJ and sound designer who defies convention with her sonic amalgamation of classical beauty and otherworldly textures. After releasing the acclaimed DVA and Emika albums via Ninja Tune, Emika launched her own label Emika Records with the Melancholia Euphoria 12”, followed in quick succession by her lauded piano opus Klavirni, her third full studio album DREI and the DREI Remixes EP. She recently unleashed the gorgeous and mysterious Flashbacks EP (featuring soprano Michaela Strumova who is also the star of Emika’s upcoming orchestral symphony); it shows Emika is continuing to evolve a sound that is deeply human yet infused with daring electronic explorations.
