The Sounds Of The Future: EML

Abundance of music festivals in August aside to appease your hunger for music, when was the last time you discovered something exciting without prior knowledge of the artiste? Like the little known gem that is waiting to be discovered, I was left enthralled and mesmerised by the R.O.J.A.K installation that took place this year at NUS and just when I thought that the Electronic Music Lab would produce something similar, all it took was arriving at the venue for the answers. Held at the University Cultural Centre, the EML showcase was part of NUS Centre For the Arts's House Party and from the moment I stepped onto the premises at the foyer, the crowd did not hesitate to join in the fun and groove along to the unique offering spun by the mixmasters with their cheering and clapping livening up the surroundings. It might have only been a brief setlist of 30 minutes and jostling for position with the other acts but the EML was outstanding in leaving an indelible mark and judging from the resounding ovation that they received, it will not come as a surprise to me if the group is being earmarked for greater things to come. It might have only been a segment for that night but come tomorrow, it will be titular show of their own at a bigger platform. Because when it comes to the beats, EML definitely knows how to come up with the potion to trigger the passion of the human mind
