• RA Podcast • Emerson Todd

RA welcomes its first Australian to the podcast ranks: Dirtybird newbie Emerson Todd.



Emerson Todd might be an unknown to the majority of RA readers, but in his native Australia he's been making waves in the electronic music scene. Todd started out as a deep house producer and DJ on the bar scene, until became one of the resident DJs at New Zealand's Kase, Auckland's only superclub. His bar gigs helped him hone his deeper sound, but his residency at the Kase gave him a chance to play on the same stage as some of the world's biggest DJs. He's currently a resident at Sydney's Lost Baggage night, which has put on DJs such as Alex Smoke, Aril Brikha and Joris Voorn.

Todd has had plenty of studio experience, both as a part of House of Downtown with Christiaan Ercolano, and also as an engineer for both Kim and The Presets. However, he's only been producing on his own over the past couple of years, with his first solo EP coming out on Darren Emerson's Underwater label back in 2006. This year has seen him release his track "Rumpelstiltskin" on the digital arm of Claude VonStroke's Dirtybird label, and with more to come for them, you should keep your eye out for Emerson's own brand of driving tech-house. We caught up with Emerson to ask him about the mix, The Presets and the scene in Sydney.
