Emily Scott is a DJ, producer, dancer and designer who has spent her career carving out a comfortable house/tech house niche in the global club scene. Having played on some of the world’s finest dance floors, right now she’s back in Sydney to focus on a few local shows.
Before she touches down on Friday to play the next instalment of Out of Office, a weekly free party at The Sheaf in Sydney, we caught up for a chat.
Before she steps behind the decks this Friday at The Golden Sheaf, we catch up with Aussie DJ sensation Emily Scott.
HAPPY: Hey Emily, how are things? What are you up to at the moment?
EMILY: Hello! My agency, One Hit / Out Of Office Takeover Series is happening this Friday at the Sheaf, love a local crew doing cool parties in Sydney. We’ve got some fun dates lined up over the next few months.
HAPPY: You must have played more than half the clubs in Sydney by now, are there any standing out as super special at the moment?
EMILY: Being a part of Defected Sydney’s epic show at the Greenwood, the crowd was so lovely, the label’s music and artists bring so much joy to people, that was really special.
HAPPY: On the flipside, are there any clubs which aren’t around anymore that you sorely miss?
EMILY: Many things have changed, but there’s a lot of new parties. Many new day parties and boat parties are around which are vibes.
HAPPY: Are there any DJs you’ve seen beside yourself recently that blew you away?
EMILY: Having a good old b2b set with my mates, playing alongside Eric Morillo was a moment of ‘is this really happening?’, he was huge to me growing up.
HAPPY: How did your experience as a dancer shape the way you DJ?
EMILY: It definitely got me hooked on the beat, dance and dance music has just always been part of my life.
HAPPY: You played last Friday at The Sheaf and you’re playing next Friday as well, had you played this venue before? What was the experience like?
EMILY: It’s amazing, everyone dancing and it felt intimate, but like a big house party. Out Of Office Takeover Series has got me pumped for this weekend, bring on Friday!
HAPPY: Anything special in store for those shows?
EMILY: New edits and all the house tunes I’m really into at the moment to start the weekend right.
HAPPY: Tell us about a few other things you have coming up?
EMILY: A new EP in the works :)
HAPPY: Thanks for the chat!
