When you've got electronic dance music stalwarts like Paul van Dyk and Ferry Corsten claiming you as the next big thing in trance, you're probably on your way to worldwide recognition. Such was the case for Gareth Emery, a UK-based DJ and producer who has shot up the world DJ ranks in meteoric fashion. His swirling version of melodic and progressive trance has taken him all over the world, spinning at top clubs, festivals and venues. In addition to his own productions and in-demand remixes, Emery runs his own record label called Garuda, which he uses to release his own material.
