Artist Interview

I love a good Rave in a field with incredible Cornish sea views & sunsets.

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Big up the Little South crew!!

Hi, my name is Emma Bond aka Lady Embrace. I am a DJ/Producer born in UK but lived for 34yrs in Spain near Marbella and I have 24 years experience in DJing on all formats from Vinyl to Traktor timecodes.

I have been blessed and fortunate to play for some of the best & incredible promotors, venues & supported some great names on the DJ scene. To name a few including Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, Café del Mar & SISU.

I always try to maintain my signature style genre by creating my own unique rolling phatt basslines, thundering kicks & Old Skool riffs & vocals. I mix my sets up a lot depending on the crowd & always play “off the cuff” never a prepared set, I love to challenge myself! My genres include, Old Skool, Breakbeat, Techno & Deep Tech which made it a very difficult decision which to send to you.

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?

This year has been a blast! I was fortunate enough to play some fantastic gigs, Orbital Gathering, FrendZy & I play a lot of charity gigs for TNT Promotions so have done a few of those including supporting Hixxy, Cally & Juice & Vibez in summer this year which was awesome fun! This year I have similar gigs planned & hopefully some of the other well-known household names will book me too. I love a good Rave in a field with incredible Cornish sea views & sunsets.

...I use a lot of Drumcode & Defected tracks.

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

I have taught and advised a few up & coming DJs in the past, currently I have a 15yr old lad who has an incredible natural ear & ability to learn very quickly & is doing B2B with me occasionally but has a fantastic future in the Music scene! My students in Spain all have residencies in various clubs & venues in the Marbella area so my advice would be to fine tune the ear & “practice practice practice,” find your genre, stay true to it and keep pushing. You have to earn your place, there’s no glory in riding shirt tails!

What artists have inspired your DJ style?

The Prodigy are absolute Pioneering Legends. Carl Cox who is the friendliest, humblest & kindest guy you could ever meet. His insane skills on the decks and style with cuts, bass drops & filter tricks is who I based my style on from the start. Adam Beyer & Umek both great producers & DJS and I use a lot of Drumcode & Defected tracks. My bug bear is big named DJs playing with decks clearly off or a pre-recorded set! Insult to the industry!

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

In this set I have used a mix of well known artists in remix form to ease the ear into the mix. Then it just gets bassier as it progresses. I have used names such as Four Tet, Adam Beyer, The Goodfellas with Disclosure, my own remix of Café del Mar, Stereo Express, riffs of Renegade Master, JDR, Hosh, Nosk, Josh Butler, Creeds in a Charlotte de Witte remix. Hope you enjoy my set!
