Gareth Emery Slammed For Making “Druggy Rave Music” by Industry Promoter
Gareth Emery shares a tweet regarding what an industry professional deemed insanely distasteful “druggy rave music.”
British DJ Gareth Emery shared a cringe-worthy email from an industry professional via Twitter, or a screenshot of a forwarded message discussing his music, and tea was scalding. The email, which featured crude commentary from an anonymous source, began harshly and ended murderous.
According to the anonymous source, Gareth’s music shouldn’t deviate from its niche, its “unsophisticated” humdrum: “When an artist is known for something, it is best he sticks to it. In Gareth’s case, that would be druggy rave music for an unsophisticated crowd.” The email continued with, “Gareth is lucky to have [a] large fan base so you really need to give them what they want. Nothing more. Just follow the formula. Maybe you should look at the sort of music [censored] is making… he always follows exactly what is popular and his records always do really well.”
Gareth went on to discuss the source of the email in the comments with, “This email was from a big radio promoter declining to work on my new album ANALOG. Not [going to] name names [because] they actually were trying to help, despite it being an insanely bad take. But if you’re ever wondering why so much bad music is out there, [people] like this [are] why…” Although Gareth could have continued, he let the comments section of Twitter (the peanut gallery) do all the talking for him.
On Spotify, Gareth sports seven figures of monthly listeners, and his top songs have amassed nearly 100 million listens on Spotify alone. He’s a prolific producer with five albums under his belt – his most recent album, titled “THE LASERS,” has more than 25 million total listens on Spotify and multiple dance number 1 chart-toppers on Apple’s iTunes stats.
