His podcast (The Gareth Emery Podcast) has fans all around the world and is regarded as one of the most consistent and exciting podcasts around. In 2009, Gareth Emery launched his own label - Garuda and has released tracks such as Exposure, Metropolis etc. Gareth Emery also delivers with his unique remixes. The highlight so far being the remix of Oceanlab's Lonely Girl featured in the Oceanlab Remixed album (June 09).

“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.

Beautiful
Gareth Emery Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're falling
Fading
Gonna fade out
Surrender searching
Making it count
Holding hoping
Never enough
One last moment

As the stars die out
We're burning and it's beautiful
Cause it all comes down
See the sky fall down

I'm dancing in the flames tonight
The fire heals the pain
As the stars die out
We're burning in a beautiful rage

We're falling
Fading
We're falling
Fading

As the stars die out
We're burning and it's beautiful
Cause it all comes down
See the sky fall down

We're dancing in the flames tonight
The fire heals the pain
As the stars die out
We're burning in a beautiful rage
In a beautiful rage

As the stars die out
We're burning and it's beautiful
Cause it all comes down
See the sky fall down

We're dancing in the flames tonight
The fire heals the pain
As the stars die out

We're burning in a beautiful rage
In a beautiful rage

We're falling
We are losing our grip on reality

Fading
We are slowly disappearing into the background

Gonna fade out
We are going to disappear completely

Surrender searching
We are giving up on trying to find what we're looking for

Making it count
We are making the most of our time left

Holding hoping
We are holding onto hope, despite the odds

Never enough
We are always searching for more, never content

One last moment
We are clinging onto the last moments we have left

As the stars die out
As the world around us fades away

We're burning and it's beautiful
We are experiencing a consuming passion that is both intense and beautiful

Cause it all comes down
Everything in our lives is coming to a dramatic end

See the sky fall down
We are witnessing everything we know crumble and fall apart

I'm dancing in the flames tonight
Despite the chaos around us, I'm finding joy in the moment

The fire heals the pain
Our passion is cathartic and freeing

We're falling
We continue to lose our grip on our current lives

The inevitable end is still coming

See the sky fall down
We are still witnessing everything we know crumble and fall apart

We're dancing in the flames tonight
Despite everything that's happening, we're still finding joy in the moment

The fire heals the pain
Our passion continues to be cathartic and freeing

As the stars die out
As the world around us fades away

We're burning in a beautiful rage
We are consumed by our passion, but it's still beautiful and intense

In a beautiful rage
Our intense passion is still beautiful
