Artist Profile - DJ and Producer Elmo is Dead

Elmo is Dead aka Emoh has been a blog golden child for sometime now. Originally a drummer in an indie rock band, Emoh infuses all his remixes with his distinct groove. Turning heads around Australia with his unique style & raw talent, Emoh has tore up festivals, uni's & clubs around the country, all the while finding time to support numerous big names like; Deadmu5, Steve Aoki, Boyz Noise, Riva Starr, Axwell, Zombie Nation and countless others.

The man behind the music Chris Emerson (who is celebrating his birthday as I am writing this!) was kind enough to answer some questions!

How do you go about making your tracks?


I just try to put a party friendly spin on my favorite tracks at the time. I'll pull apart a few different songs that sound nice together (helps if they're in key), layer the differnt vocals, groove, hookline, etc, change up the sequences & there you have it!


What is your most important tip to budding producers?

Producing is one of those things where the longer you do it, the more you realise how little you know. Best advice, get started a s early as possible, watch YouTube video's of the pro's & find a experianced person to give you a hand.


I'd suggest starting on something like ableton, making mashup, Bootlegs, etc. Keep an eye out for remix comp's! They're always a great way to get exposure

What are tracks are your biggest weapons at the moment?
