Five years ago, Emmett was an underage kid sneaking into clubs so he could play records. Today, he's one of the most versatile DJ's in Calgary, and doing warm-up duty for international acts like Doc Martin, Tipper, and John Selway. His promotion experiences have helped make annual underground parties like Together, Earthdance, and Red a reality. While he's spent a fair bit of time in the Homebreakin studio, a steady stream of well-received mixtapes has continued to occupy most of his time (and are available on his website). A dedicated record collector, Emmett's crates are packed with everything from hip hop, to acid house, to vintage disco. His goal on the decks is to keep the asses shaking, while defying dance music conventions- or at the very least, getting handed free drinks.
