Producer-DJ Elkka is HOTđ„ after a big editorial push from Spotify around her latest single âBurnt Sugarâ, featuring in playlists such as Altar and Electronic Rising. With millions of combined followers across these playlists, Elkkaâs Spotify popularity score has risen by 2 points since Burnt Sugar was released and her followers have increased by 5.56%.
London-based Elkka is an artist who began her path as a singer-songwriter and has evolved into a multi-faceted producer, DJ and label boss. Sitting firmly in a lane of her own creation, Elkkaâs music is a cross-pollination between house, electronica, percussive beats and dreamy vocals. When performing, she immerses herself in her art - from expansive, cross-genre DJ sets to hypnotic live shows.
Deciding to take full artistic control over her music Emma made the shift from singer / songwriter to producer and artist in 2016. In that same year she founded femme culture. The London-based record label and collective was born out of the desire to champion women in the arts and push forward-thinking music standing for inclusivity amongst all genders, backgrounds and beliefs, and actively promotes collaboration in all fields. The labelâs annual HeForShe compilation has garnered critical success and featured the likes of Octo Octa, DJ Boring, and DJ Python.
In 2020 Elkka released âI Miss Ravingâ on Local Action. The Track is Emmaâs ode to the club and itâs absence throughout 2020 - which was widely praised and received coverage from the likes of FACT, DJ Mag, Earmilk and Resident Advisor who described the track as âEffervescent and rich with feeling, this is pop-focused house at its finestâ. Elkka kicks off 2021 with a new 5 track EP âEuphoric Melodiesâ, marking her first release for Ninja Tune imprint Technicolour.
