“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.
Into The Light
Gareth Emery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You carry me into the light
And I know that without you I'm frozen
You're bringing me back to life.. To life..
Back to life.. To life..
You carry me into the light
[x3]
The lyrics of Gareth Emery feat. Mark Frisch's song Into The Light speak of being rescued from darkness into the light. The singer talks about how his eyes and arms have been opened, which can be interpreted as him being awakened to see the truth and being able to embrace the light. He then mentions that he was frozen without the presence of the person who's carrying him into the light. This can signify a feeling of emptiness or a lack of direction in his life before being guided towards the light which brings him back to life.
The chorus repeats the phrase "You carry me into the light" three times, emphasizing the importance of the guiding force in the singer's life. The light can be interpreted as hope, love, or even a sense of purpose, which ultimately gives him a reason to live. The song ends with a repetition of the word "light," signifying the importance of being led towards the light to bring oneself out of darkness.
Overall, this song can be seen as a metaphor for finding hope and purpose in life, with someone's guidance leading the way. It emphasizes the importance of embracing light over darkness and finding a reason to live a fulfilling life.
Line by Line Meaning
Tonight, my eyes and my arms have been opened
Today, my perspective and emotions have been enlightened and expanded.
You carry me into the light
You guide me towards a better future, towards a brighter path paved with hope and opportunities.
And I know that without you I'm frozen
I recognize that without your support and love, I am stagnant and stuck in a state of numbness.
You're bringing me back to life.. To life..
You are revitalizing me and bringing me back to the positive aspects of life that I may have forgotten or neglected.
Back to life.. To life..
You are helping me regain my passion for life and my appreciation for all the blessings it provides.
You carry me into the light x3
With your love and guidance, you lead me towards a brighter and better future, one step at a time.

I'm almost 40, and still find this genre of music to be the very best that music has to offer. It's a way of life, a religion.

those feelings we get, of love, loss, life, treachery, and others that we cannot really explain with words, are brought into this music. This is the sound of those feelings and more of these songs are out there! To me this is the way of electronic music.

How cool would it be hearing this live if at the 3.05 mark, the sound stop and the lights went out for a split second and then BOOM, flash of blinding light and the song continues. I think I would pass out.
