โBoring DJs be very afraid: Gareth Emery is about to kick your arseโ. 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, itโs likely that even their expectations have been well surpassed. His current tour diary reads like the departure board at Londonโs Heathrow Airport. Desert island raves in Indonesia and snow-drenched mountains in Vancouver sit alongside major global events like San Franciscoโs iconic Love Fest and Hollandโs 30,000 strong Trance Energy. The likes of Asian superclub Zouk and Bondi Beach in Sydney complete the picture: in short, youโll find Gareth at a mouth-watering, hand-picked selection of the planetโs coolest clubs and events, including UK super brands like Ministry of Sound and Gatecrasher.
When not on tour, heโs kept rakishly busy in his Cambridgeshire studio as one of the sceneโs most in-demand producers and remixes. If youโre not familiar with anthems like โMore Than Anythingโ, โFormentera Whatโ or his seminal classic โMistralโ, youโre 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 โthe most consistent trance label in the worldโ), where heโs a co-owner and A&R. Whatever the label, one thing thatโs 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 โBest Podcastโ 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 haศ worked with a number of collaborators and vocalists, including his sister Roxanne Emery.
Sanctuary
Gareth Emery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beyond together and alone
And at the edge where you fade into me
We find the shelter we call home
Gareth Emery's song Sanctuary is a beautiful and metaphorical representation of finding comfort and safety in the presence of another person. The opening lines "Between the spaces where we long to be, beyond together and alone" indicate an emotional state of limbo many people find themselves in while searching for companionship. It emphasizes the human desire for companionship and love, where beyond that emotional turmoil and the deep edge of one's personality, one can find solace in someone else's companionship. The lyric emphasizes that although we may feel lonely and isolated at times, there is a gentle comfort when we are together.
The line "And at the edge where you fade into me, We find the shelter we call home" emphasizes the idea of merging souls, where the two individuals become one, and the boundary between them disappears. The line indicates a sense of eternal belonging and satisfaction in the presence of the soulmate, who provides security and understanding. The idea of finding a sense of belonging through another that helps ground you is relatable and one that most people can easily associate with, thus making the song more relatable.

Between the spaces where we long to be
In the uncertain situations where we are eager to exist
Beyond together and alone
Over and above the limits of companionship and solitude
And at the edge where you fade into me
In the transitional area where you and I blend into each other
We find the shelter we call home
We discover the refuge that we identify as our abode
Lyrics ยฉ Cloud9

Between the spaces where we long to be
Beyond together and alone
And at the edge where you fade into me
We find a shelter we call home
Escape the shadows that were holding me
Slip these chains of flesh and bones
And in the seconds where we know weโre free
This is the place where we call home
When thereโs no where left to run
Run with me
Let the moment be a sanctuary
When its all that youโve become
Set it free
Let this moment be a sanctuary
Espaรฑol
Entre los espacios en los que anhelamos ser
Mรกs allรก juntos y solos
Y en el borde donde te desvaneces dentro de mi
Encontramos un refugio al que llamamos hogar
Escapar de las sombras que me retienen
Desliza estas cadenas de carne y hueso
Y en el segundo en el que sabemos que somos libres
Este es el lugar que llamamos hogar
Cuando no haya lugar donde correr
Corre conmigo
Deja que el momento sea un santuario
Cuando es todo en lo que te has convertido
Dรฉjalo libre
Deja que el momento sea un santuario

Between the spaces where we long to be
Beyond together and alone
And at the edge where you fade into me
We find a shelter we call home
(Call home)
(Call home)
Escape the shadows that were holding me
Slip these chains of flesh and bone
And in the seconds where we know we're free
This is the place where we call home
When there's nowhere left to run, run with me
Let the moment be a sanctuary
When it's all that you've become, set it free
Let this moment be a sanctuary
When it's all that you've become, set it free
Let this moment be a sanctuary

An absolute banger, granted. Dash Berlin's Waiting still cuts the nuts off it though.
