Albums and hits edit

His debut artist album Northern Lights was released in 2010, and achieved considerable success, climbing to no.1 in the US iTunes dance chart.[30] The album also contained one of his most successful tracks and his first ever vocal production "Sanctuary", which was voted the 2nd biggest track of 2010 by listeners of Armin van Buuren's A State Of Trance radio show,[31] and then became the most played record of 2011 on US' Sirius XM Radio dance station, BPM.[32] In 2011, a remixed edition of the album was released entitled Northern Lights Re-Lit with remixes by acts including Hardwell, Arty, Giuseppe Ottaviani, John O’Callaghan, Lange and Ashley Wallbridge.[33]

Emery released "Concrete Angel" with Christina Novelli in 2012, and was voted as "Tune of the Year" by listeners of Armin van Buuren's Radioshow A State of Trance. [34]

The "CVNT5" music video is a satirical view on careers of popular electronic dance music acts.[38][39]

On 30 January 2017, Emery released a single titled "Saving Light" with artists Standerwick and Haliene on the Canadian label Monstercat. The song and its music video were a collaboration with the charity Ditch The Label in an effort to prevent bullying among children and young adults.[40] The music video for Saving Light has received over 2 million views on YouTube as of December 2017.[41] On 21 December, Armin van Buuren announced that Saving Light won the A State of Trance "Tune of the Year" for 2017.[42]

In 2019, following their various collaborations over the years, Emery released an album alongside Ashley Wallbridge called Kingdom United.[43]

On 9 July 2020, Emery released the new album, The Lasers, while the first single of the album "You'll Be OK" achieved 2nd place on A State of Trance once again.[44] In June 2022, he confirmed that the upcoming Analog would be his last artist album,[45] which was later released on 9 December 2022. These two last albums of his contained more Synth-pop and even Britpop elements,[46] distinguishing from the previous ones which were mostly trance/progressive house tracks. In Ultra Music Festival 2022, after the 2020 live show related to The Lasers being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic two years ago, he brought an Analog show on Live Stage in addition to a regular appearance on the ASOT Stage, where he performed tracks from the 2022 album and some of his greatest hits live as a keyboardist and guitarist during the live show.

Starting from 2023, Emery launched the LSR/CITY alias, usually in collaboration with British singer Annabel, who first appeared in the "You'll Be OK" single in 2020 and was the only major vocalist in the entire The Lasers album.

During his career, Emery has released five compilation mix CDs during his career: The Five AM Sessions (2005),[47] The Podcast Annual (2007),[48] The Sound Of Garuda (2009)[49] and The Sound Of Garuda: Chapter 2 (2011)[50] and Electric For Life in 2015.[51]

In 2006, Gareth Emery remixed "Flow" by Vinny Troia and Jaidene Veda on Curvve Recordings, which climbed to #24 on Billboard magazine's "Hot Dance Club Play" charts.[52]

DJ Mag controversy edit

Between 2006 and 2013 Gareth Emery ranked in DJ Mag's Top 50 DJs in the world, peaking at No. 7 in 2010.[25] However, in 2013, he publicly denounced the poll due to the huge marketing budgets involved, asking fans no longer to vote for him, and donated his marketing budget to charity instead:

"So here's an alternative Top 100 message: Don't vote for me. Seriously, when you buy a ticket to see me in a club, I consider that a vote. When you blast my music in your car, or share it on Facebook, or tell your friends about it, that's a vote too. Those votes, and the amazing support you've shown over the last year, is what matters to me."[53]

This move was covered by many dance music blogs.[54][55][56]

Labels edit

From 2003 to 2008, Gareth co-owned now defunct label Five AM under which some of his biggest hits from the time were released (Mistral / This Is That / More Than Anything).[57] In late 2008 he left Five AM and started a new label called Garuda.[58][59]

The first Garuda release was his own record Exposure / Metropolis released in May 2009,[15] since then all Emery's records during the existence of the label had been released through Garuda.[35] It was named after the bird-like creature from Hindu and Buddhist mythology, which Emery became aware of whilst touring Indonesia.[60] The label had released records by artists including Ben Gold, Tritonal, M.I.K.E. and Blake Jarrell.[61] The label also ran occasional club nights.[62][63][64] Guests had included Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Above & Beyond (band) and Sander Van Doorn.[10][65][66][67] From 2014 to 2019, Garuda was part of Armin van Buuren's record label Armada Music as Emery being an Armada artist. Garuda's last release was "Still Alive" in 2020, a single by Ashley Wallbridge in collaboration with American singer Evan Henzi which was written after Ashley's recovery from a serious meningitis.

While in 2020, Emery being an independent artist again, and started self-releasing music (including the album The Lasers) but with assistance of Create Music Group. He later created a new label called "We'll Be OK", but has only released music by himself and/or Ashley Wallbridge since founded.

Satire edit

On 11 March 2016, Emery released single "CVNT5" together with Ashley Wallbridge.[68] The "CVNT5" music video is a satirical view on careers of popular electronic dance music acts.[69] The video featured two aspiring DJs played by Emery and Wallbridge who hoped to appear on the Forbes Highest-Paid DJs list.[70] They climbed to international stardom by hiring a ghost-producer to create their songs and buying many Twitter followers, while dressing in ludicrous clothing and wigs.[71] The song later appeared on Emery's third studio album 100 Reasons to Live.[72] They released a second single on 19 March 2016 titled "They Don't Want Us To Win", which featured a sample from DJ Khaled saying "win" in the song's buildup.[73] Wallbridge revealed that the project came to light during a drunken conversation in a pub, which purpose was to "have a laugh" and satirise the clichés in dance culture.[74]

The duo released a follow-up video through YouTube titled "DJ Mag Corruption Exposed: A CVNT5 Documentary" on 14 October 2016.[75] The mockumentary showed CVNT5 continuing their attempt to reach number one on DJ Mag's annual Top 100 DJs list, notably by investing $50,000 into advertising, paying a black market Vietnamese click farm to generate votes, and bribing key figures in DJ Mag.[76] CVNT5 ended up winning number two on the rankings despite their efforts, likely due to another individual paying the magazine's Editor In Chief with a diamond-encrusted watch.[77] Critics felt that the video served as criticism to DJ Mag's list; referring to the time in 2015 where DJs Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike won first place under suspicious circumstances, specifically by vote buying and having staff members walk around with iPads at their performing venues to secure extra votes.[76][78]

On 18 June 2018, American video streaming service go90 announced eight episodes of "We Are CVNT5", which will expand on the original CVNT5 mockumentary.[79] The series was directed by Matt Enlow, written by Emery, Alex Madden and Geraint Jones, and featured Paul Holowaty, Taylor Misiak, Dillon Francis, and Pete Tong. The series was based heavily on Emery's musical experience during the United States' electronic dance music boom. A trailer for the series was released on 25 June 2018.[80] Emery revealed through Facebook that the project encountered many issues during its production, including "tears", "screaming", and lawsuits, but managed to complete it in time.[81] All eight episodes of "We Are CVNT5" were made available on 28 June 2018.[82]

Shows edit

Podcast and SiriusXM show edit

Since March 2006, Emery has produced the "Gareth Emery Podcast".[83] It has been nominated for "Best Podcast" at the Miami Winter Music Conference's International Dance Music Awards three times.[84] In July 2012, Emery launched a syndicated radio show in North America called "Gareth Emery Presents" on the SiriusXM channel Electric Area (Channel 52). The show is broadcast at 5pm ET Fridays with a repeat at 8pm ET Tuesdays.[85]

In November 2014, Emery announced that Episode 310 would be the final episode of the "Gareth Emery Podcast". He explained on social media:

"After doing the show more or less every week since 2006 I guess I'd become a bit too comfortable, and I sometimes felt like I was producing the show on auto pilot for the last year or so. Saying the same old **** and playing the same sounding music, and probably playing it a bit too safe, choosing the obvious bangers and hot promos rather than pushing myself to dig out those hidden gems like I always used to.[86]"

Emery then followed up with an announcement of a new podcast from his new SiriusXM show called "ELECTRIC FOR LIFE"[87] In May 2015, Gareth Emery partnered with Electronic Music lifestyle brand Electric Family to produce a collaboration bracelet for which the proceeds are donated to his charitable foundation, Electric For Life

Electric For Life edit

Electric For Life is Gareth's new brand which replaced the eight year old Gareth Emery Podcast in November 2014. It is a radio show, live show, and charitable foundation.

All proceeds from the Electric For a Life Foundation shows are donated to help vulnerable groups in society. The first show was a fundraiser for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank which raised $15,000.[88][89]

On 28 November 2015, Gareth hosted Electric For Life Day, a 24-hour live broadcast involving Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, W&W, Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz, Aly & Fila, Dash Berlin, Cosmic Gate and Seven Lions. During the show he hosted an Electric For Life stage at the Stereosonic festival in Sydney which featured performances of Andrew Rayel, MaRLo, Emma Hewitt, and Mark Sherry alongside Emery himself.[90][91]

However, after episode 120 of the show, Emery announced that Electric For Life would come to an end as well: "After 10 years & 430 episodes, I need a new challenge ... [w]hen I started my podcast in 2006 it was one of the first dance podcasts. It was needed. Now, there are thousands of great shows – you’re in good hands."

Laserface edit

After the discontinuation of Electric For Life in 2017, Emery launched a laser-themed live show called Laserface, in collaboration with lasers designer Anthony Garcia. The first show took place in New York City on 18 November 2017, and a number of shows were further held in various places in North America as well as Ibiza from 2018 to 2020. The last Laserface show was held in Anaheim, California in December 2020, being a drive-in show due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

LSR/CITY edit

LSR/CITY is the successor of Laserface, first performed in May 2022, being a secret show in Las Vegas opened only to the owners of "2022 Gareth Emery Black Card" which was an encrypted digital asset introduced by Emery. Later in 2022 and 2024, Emery continued with LSR/CITY V2 and V3 in various cities of the United States and Canada respectively.
