Emanuel Skinner

My journey into electronic music began in Northern California's early 90s rave culture, an immersion that forged my deep, soulful sound. With influences from hip-hop to disco, the art of vinyl mixing became my language. From San Francisco's vibrant deep house scene, sharing decks with college roomie Miguel Migs. A few years later I embarked on a pivotal move to Thailand in 2000. A one-way ticket and a crate of vinyl was all it took to help cultivate Bangkok's burgeoning nightlife, establishing iconic residencies and spreading my groove across Asia. Over three decades, that same passion for musical discovery still fuels every set.For over three decades, my deep soulful house sound has resonated across 15+ countries, shaping dancefloors from San Francisco, Maldives, Singapore, Malaysia, Singapore, Mexico to Bangkok. My early years saw me a fixture in the Bay Area deep house scene, often alongside Miguel Migs, before establishing seminal residencies at Bangkok's Tapas Room and the iconic Bed Supperclub. I've had the privilege of sharing stages with legends like Derrick Carter, DJ Pierre, and Todd Terry plus many others. As a producer, my tracks have found homes on international labels including Germany's Groovalax and New York's Soul Shift Music, cementing my commitment to house music globally.My artistry is a deep, soulful tapestry woven from hip-hop's swagger, funk's undeniable rhythm, and disco's pure joy. Rooted in Northern California's early 90s underground, my sound evolved through a vinyl-first philosophy, crafting sets that are both versatile and relentlessly groove-driven. I strive to take listeners on a sonic journey, where each track is a discovery and every beat compels movement. Whether it's the nuanced layers of deep house or the infectious energy of nu disco, my aim is always to connect, move, and transcend with timeless house music.
