Emika says of this track: “Techno is such a stale mainstream sound this year; me and Rødhåd have switched it up”
2021 marks the tenth anniversary of Emika’s self – titled debut album with a one of its kind release of the VEGA Trilogy Album, including A Virtual Reality live experience and NFT.
VEGA showcases new material, including collaborations with Horace Andy (Massive Attack), Leila Moss (The Duke Spirit), and techno legend Rødhåd.
Berlin, September 2021—New album VEGA exposes Emika’s extraordinary versatility as a composer and producer, as she moves effortlessly between virtually all conceivable musical styles.
The new trilogy album is a mammoth collection which celebrates 10 years since the release of her debut self-titled album. Comprising three albums of songs VEGA features some reimagined versions of classic tracks from her Ninja Tune catalogue, including “Professional Loving” (which was sampled by The Weeknd on his track “Professional”) and recently released singles: “The Anti Universe”, “Transcended Before Me feat Horace Andy” and “Angel Come Feat Leila Moss” receiving support from Nina Kraviz, Robert Ames, Dan Hegarty- RTE2, Nemone- BBC Radio 6, DJ Mag, Rolling Stone China and Rolling Stone India.
Emika considers VEGA her greatest achievement and profound creation. She says “this trilogy of albums is one of the best I’ve ever written and produced”.
A pioneer in the industry, making breakthroughs in bold and progressive ways as an independent artist. A director, composer, musician and mother, Emika is doing things differently, fearlessly and dynamically.
Catalysing a trend of artistic integrity, Emika steers away from streaming services with VEGA, which will only be available only through her newly launched website to support Emika in continuing to make her own music independently. This is also where fans can purchase a rare and special limited edition VEGA Trilogy collectors set and a cleansed and charged crystal edition.
