A DJ, curator and broadcaster with an eye on global club trends and emerging sounds, Emily Dust is a regular on the BBC, where she produced and hosted a documentary on the South African sounds of gqom for the World Service and in 2020 a documentary on Berlin's club culture for BBC Radio 4. With such an obvious knack for creating a strong narrative, it's not surprising that Emily approaches her DJ sets in a similar fashion, expertly weaving through the threads that bring these disparate sounds together. Dancehall, baile funk, kuduro and gqom are all in the mix, kept together with the bass-heavy sounds of her native UK. It’s this considered ear that means she can play in so many settings and timeslots, going back-to-back with UK funky legend Roska at Boomtown, Uganda's infamous Nyege Nyege festival, playing the Tate Modern, warming up for SOPHIE at Roskilde, playing in a car wash in Durban, an abandoned slaughterhouse in Belgrade, or showcasing her Juntos project in Rio De Janeiro. Her own shows can be found on Soho Radio and Threads Radio where she’s done deep explorations of some of the world's most exciting musical scenes, and brought through new talent such as Rudeboyz, Badsista and VHOOR, or more established names like Scratcha DVA and Kojey Radical. She’s played on 1Xtra, KissFresh, Jazz FM, Triple J and NTS to name a few. Emily’s club night Baile LDN launched in 2019 with an impeccable series of lineups featuringthe likes of BadSista, Leo Justi, KG, Freak De L'Afrique, Kensaye, DJ Kwamzy, Tryb Princess Trium, Jaymie Silk (UK debut), K2RAH and more. Pre-pandemic saw Emily touring South Africa and Zimbabwe, following a life-changing trip to Zambia and Zimbabwe to teach DJ lessons to women for the British Council. She also presented an acclaimed documentary on Berlin's club culture interviewing the likes of Dimitri Hegemann of Tresor club, Room 4 Resistance and Freak De L'Afrique's Wallizz alongside his father the legendary Jimmy Bamba Sarr. In 2020 Emily was one of a select few to play several Glastonbury virtual events, representing The Common area of Glastonbury for the BBC's Glastonbury coverage, DJing for The Rum Shack livestream and at the notorious Shangri-La's VR festival Lost Horizon. 2019 saw Emily her play 13 festivals over the summer including 5 sets at Glastonbury, as well as Roskilde Festival (DK), Fusion Festival (DE), Sfinks (BE), Colours of Ostrava (CZ), Boomtown (UK), Shambala (UK) and many more.
