Emika

Dubstep
Dubstep

Emika is a Dubstep act. Their sound grew out of Chris Isaak, Beth Gibbons, The xx and PJ Harvey. Those roots explain a lot about how Emika arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Elsiane, HÆLOS, Blue Foundation, UNKLE and Lorn, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Kiss Land and The Weeknd, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 16 connections around Emika, reaching back through Chris Isaak and forward to Kiss Land.
