ByeByeDisco presents Techno Elysium with Emily Jeanne

Many artists find comfort staking their claim to a scene or genre, but leaving specifics behind and embracing the grey areas between strands of electronic music has helped Emily Jeanne emerge as one of the shining lights of dance music’s new guard.

Emily’s authentic approach to production and DJing, that pits broken beats in amongst more direct, dance floor material, IDM and Ambient derivatives can be seen as a direct reflection of the artist’s ever-shifting interior – and her comfort with a plural and undefined personal identity.

RMB100, Free entry before 11pm and after 2am
