Emika is our new fave find: hailing from Berlin by way of Bristol and London, she’s like a perfect combination of all those cities’ musical styles. She’s got the clear sonic force of Berlin’s techno scene (she’s a member of the famous Berghain family), the up-to-the-minute hipness of London, and the grimy bass thump of Bristol, as well as the haunted melancholy of that city’s hometown heroes Portishead and Massive Attack.

The world is already discovering Emika’s cool charms: she recently got featured on the front page of XLR8R’s website and has been getting airplay from all the hip U.K. DJs like Zane Lowe, Mary Anne Hobbs, and Nick Grimshaw. Her debut e.p. “Drop The Other” for Ninja Tune doesn’t come out until early next year, but we’ve got this special preview: Scuba’s incredible “Vulpine” remix of the title track. “Vulpine” sounds like a cross between “Vulcan” and “supine,” but in fact means “foxy,” which this track definitely is. While Emika’s original beguiles in its Aaliyah-meets-Aphex Twin swing, Scuba gives “Drop The Other” a serious intelligent dubstep makeover, filling it with deep subs, scratchy atmosphere, and mysterious echo. It’s a perfect complement to Emika’s combination of maverick spirit and smoky allure.
