About Me
Joseph Emont along his voyage through the consciousness has become a pioneer in electronica.Growing up, Joseph lived in, and experienced much of the world. Originally from New York, he has played his way across the United States, and most recently ending up in the greater Los Angeles area. Taking bits and pieces from many different cultures, including the "Kuna" Indians of Panama, he has brought along with him new ideas from very diverse places. His DJ sets flow like clockwork due to his deep understanding of phrasing tonalities. Music has always been a regular part of his life, and offered an escape not only in an aural sense, but also in a visual way. "It’s a medium that invokes a state of synesthesia within the brain, and is one of the most primitive, yet necessary expressions of all humanity." Early on, he took on the piano, as well as violin, and most recently the guitar. "It’s a method of expression---a healer." Joseph has found that the right music types can often heal the worst conditions."For the heart, mind, body and, soul."Always having been heavily slanted as a dreamer, he’s searched for the ideals that have been lost from yesteryear. "The basic shapes that make up all of our humanity are reverberating inside each one of us, they are just yearning to couple to another form of energy; my goal is to liberate that energy through music… " As visions appear to him from different levels of consciousness, so do new musical ideas. "The goal is always finding that energy balance…" Joseph has studied many of the world religions, and has been freed by the teachings of the Kabala. He is also a firm believer that help comes when one is truly ready to receive it. The wisdom of Julia Cameron has allowed Joseph to further unlock his creative destiny with exercises that allow him to trust the power of the one great being that connects all things.His signature smooth, flowing progressive rhythms encompass sounds that take the listeners on a journey through strange landscapes and starry plains. Joseph’s sets are never similar as he is extensively analogous to many different styles of music. Many of his influences include: Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Sasha, DJ Tiesto, Danny Tenaglia, Hernan Cattaneo, Paul Van Dyke, and early works of the original Electric Skychurch, whom have become his examples over the years. Many rock bands such as Tool, Incubus, New Order, Cake, The Toadies, NIN, and Rage Against the Machine have also had much to do with his progression to his present stature.Joseph Emont is now being represented by John Gocha’ at Planet Earth Records. He is excited to make his break onto the LA club scene and his debut album is to be released soon.
