Producer based in Manchester, UK.

Emma Clair has built her name on one major underpinning belief – “music should be fun”. In a world where dance music is filled with moody shots of DJs dressed in black, Emma is the total antithesis to this and isn’t this what we need more than ever!? Emma has released on some of the most reputable dance music labels across multiple genres including Dirty Volt Music, Electro Swing Thing, Freshly Squeezed Music, Prohibition and most recently Trax Records which saw her debut House release land inside the Beatport Top 30. This was the perfect way to mark the beginning of a new era for Emma Clair, delivering a concoction of feel good sounds fused with classic vocal cuts and an old skool edge. Emma’s combination of natural musicality, raw passion and experience has led to her being requested to play far and wide across the globe for some of the world’s most renowned brands and venues: Antwerp Mansion, Beatherder Festival, Beaverworks, Boomtown Festival, Eiger Studios, Frnaz Club (Berlin), Gatecrasher, Invisible Wind Factory, Joshua Brooks, L’usine (Geneva, Switzerland), Ministry of Sound, Operaen (Copenhagen, Denmark), Rough Trade, Sankeys, Soho (Ibiza, Spain) South, Stage & Radio, The Roxy (Prague, Czech Rep), Victoria Warehouse, VIVA (Ibiza, Spain) and West Indian Centre. A truly exciting new chapter in the Emma Clair story awaits..

BLURRING THE LINES BETWEEN THE CONFORMITIES OF MICRO HOUSE AND DEEP HOUSE, MICA REPRESENTS ONE OF THE NEW WAVE ARTISTS TO BREAK OUT OF THE SULTRY LONDON MINIMAL HOUSE SCENE. THE LONDON BREAKOUT COMES OFF THE BACK OF BUILDING HER REPUTATION INTERNATIONALLY.

THE NON-CONFORMIST MICA EXPERTLY CRAFTS HER VIBE WITH SUBTLE OUT OF GENRE SOUNDS THAT TAKE SHAPE FROM DISCO AND TECHNO INFLUENCES. THESE TOUCHES PROVIDE A SOUNDSCAPE THAT INFECTIOUSLY DELIVERS A MINIMAL MASTERCLASS.
OFTEN FOUND LOCKED IN A STUDIO, MICA HAS LANDED SOME INCREDIBLY HIGH-PROFILE TRACK DROPS WITH SOME OF THE MOST UPCOMING LABELS IN THE GAME. VANDALISM MUSIQUE, ANALYTIC RECORDS, BOSH RECORDINGS, SOUS VIDE RECORDS, LOVE INTERNATIONAL AND PISTON RECORDINGS TOP HER IMPRESSIVE RELEASE CATALOGUE.

ON THE PERFORMANCE FRONT, THE DIARY HAS BEEN FLOODED WITH AN ARRAY OF HIGH-PROFILE BOOKINGS, INCLUDING THE LIKES OF THE WIDELY RESPECTED EPIZODE FESTIVAL AND WILL OFTEN BE FOUND DROPPING INTO UNDERGROUND LOCATIONS AND HIDDEN GEMS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
