Exploited Club welcome power duo EMJIE and Emma B with 3 classy club cuts packed with groove, energy, and panache.

Hailing from Brussels, EMJIE is catching heavy acclaim off the back of records for Get Physical and LP Giobbis Yes Yes Yes, as well as a recent B2B with Diplo, a radioshow for Keinemusik and bill-sharing with the likes of Dixon, LP Giobbi, and Roman Fluegel. Her sound is characterized by stripped, Indie sonics, classic House and sleek, infectious vocals.

Working alongside her is Emma B – a Paris based producer and DJ also firmly on the ascent with releases on Shall Not Fade, BBC’s Sarah Story’s Stories and gigs at Rex Paris, Fabric London, Shelter Amsterdam, and After Caposile. Highly skilled in the studio, her sound is steeped in dancefloor literacy – informed by late 90s and early 2000s Minimal, Trance and Hard House.

‘Ace Of Spades’ kicks things off with a tight braid of organs and synths that duck and weave over immaculately crafted drums and a buoyant, proggy bass line that locks in a bubbly momentum from the get go. Vocals ring out, snare fills roll and harmonies fuse to form a fizzy, ecstatic vibe that nails a peak-flow tenor.

‘My Favourite’ follows up with neat, infectious drums that ooze snap and sass while a catchy synth and bass line climb together in lockstep. More vocals are woven in while harmonies thicken and a loose, free-flowing mood unfurls. Energy smoulders subtly shifting up the gears with a nice, mid-set intensity: chic, locked in and effortlessly sexy.

‘The Bass You Need’ finishes things off with an intricate, bongo-heavy drumtrack that’s propelled by more swirling synths and spacious sound design. Deliciously trippy – the groove is heady and slinky recalling labels like Pagan and Swag from UK Tech House hay-day. Drums remain light on their feet – nimble and active whilst packing a satisfying wallop that’ll make it an easy draw for DJs.

The ‘Aces Of Spades’ EP is available here.
