“Boring DJs be very afraid: Gareth Emery is about to kick your arse”. So said Mixmag, when in 2002, they took the bold step of predicting that a virtually unknown 22 year-old would rise to become a major dance music star. However, six years later, it’s likely that even their expectations have been well surpassed. His current tour diary reads like the departure board at London’s Heathrow Airport. Desert island raves in Indonesia and snow-drenched mountains in Vancouver sit alongside major global events like San Francisco’s iconic Love Fest and Holland’s 30,000 strong Trance Energy. The likes of Asian superclub Zouk and Bondi Beach in Sydney complete the picture: in short, you’ll find Gareth at a mouth-watering, hand-picked selection of the planet’s coolest clubs and events, including UK super brands like Ministry of Sound and Gatecrasher.
When not on tour, he’s kept rakishly busy in his Cambridgeshire studio as one of the scene’s most in-demand producers and remixes. If you’re not familiar with anthems like ‘More Than Anything’, ‘Formentera What’ or his seminal classic ‘Mistral’, you’re probably a little out of touch with the modern dance scene, but suffice to say that Tiesto, Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten and Judge Jules are all big fans, and Paul van Dyk and Armin van Buuren liked his work so much that they both commissioned him to work on their respective labels (Vandit / Armind). However, the majority of his music is still released on his Five AM imprint, (described by DJ Mag as ‘the most consistent trance label in the world’), where he’s a co-owner and A&R. Whatever the label, one thing that’s clear is that Gareth Emery stamps his hallmark of quality on a record, people listen.
Always ahead of the game, Gareth was the one of the first leading DJs to embrace podcasting when he started his fortnightly radio show The Gareth Emery Podcast in early 2006. The show become an overnight success, immediately becoming an essential download for savvy dance music fans, and its widely imitated format has since helped to explode the popularity of dance music podcasts. It was also nominated for a Miami WMC IDMA Award for ‘Best Podcast’ along with Roger Sanchez and Pete Tong in 2007.
Although he always ranked well in the annual DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll, he became cynical about the amount of advertising and self-promotion that DJs put into it, and in 2013 asked fans not to vote for him.
Gareth haș worked with a number of collaborators and vocalists, including his sister Roxanne Emery.

Gareth Emery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Just looking for another you
It's not getting any better, better
I'm not saying I'm not sorry
Just looking for another you
It's not getting any better, better
But what I can I do?
When there's something wrong
When we keep holding on to the best days?
I'm not saying I'm not sorry
Just looking for another you
Looking for another you
Just looking for another you, another you
Just looking for another you
I don't know any other way to show
It's not getting any better
I think we both know there's something wrong
But we keep holding on to the best days
I'm not saying I'm not sorry
Just looking for
I'm just looking for another
I'm just looking for another you
I'm just looking for another
I'm just looking for another you
Just for another you
In Gareth Emery's song "U," the lyrics are about a relationship that is falling apart despite the effort to save it. The speaker is not saying that they are not sorry, but rather, they are searching for another version of their partner - one that will be able to fix the issues in their relationship. The repeated line "It's not getting any better" emphasizes the sense of frustration and helplessness felt by the speaker. The chorus highlights the dilemma of what to do when something is wrong, yet both parties are still holding on to the good times that they shared together.
The lyrics of "U" underscore the emotional uncertainty and vulnerability of a relationship that is hanging by a thread. The speaker is searching for a solution to fix the relationship but feels that they are stuck in an endless cycle of the same problems. The lyrics capture the feelings of being lost and confused, unsure of what to do next. The repeated line "Just looking for another you" reflects the desire for a change or growth in the relationship, but it also highlights the futility of trying to find someone else to fill the void.
