Boring DJs be very afraid: Gareth Emery is about to kick your arse.
--Feature on Gareth Emery in Mixmag, November 2002
Unless you’ve spent the last few months with your eyes closed in a cave listing to top40 country, you’ll have noticed there has been some big talent pass through our great city.
Gareth Emery was one of them. Still haven’t caught on? Well also known as GTR, Gareth not only destroyed the Plaza of Nations this past New Years Eve 04', but rebuilt it and took it down again!
Now he's BACK! w/ 5AM Record Tour
Saturday, April 17th, an Exclusive Extended Set
Plaza of Nations Complex (new venue)
750 Pacific Blv. -Vancouver, BC

Known for his unbelievable chart toppers this 23 year old DJ gives even current world trance veterans a run for their record bags. Playing UK superclubs like Godskitchen, Slinky, The Gallery and even headlining Passion on his first appearance at the club!
Coming from a diverse musical background which encompassed classical piano training and jazz along the way, Gareth gave up playing lead guitar in a punk-rock band to start producing dance music seriously in 2001, and immediately attracted attention with his first release. The track, entitled ‘Nervous Breakdown 2002’, was a white label bootleg of The Shrink's infamous classic which found its way onto BBC Radio 1 after being supported by a host of DJs including Eddie Halliwell, Guy Ornadel and Dave Pearce. It was immediately picked up by Nutrition for an official release and later featured on a number of compilations including the Godskitchen Direct mix album.
In addition to his success in the UK, Gareth's popularity as an international DJ has grown rapidly: in the latter half of 2003 he played overseas dates in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Sweden and Northern Ireland. As Mixmag wrote when they first tipped Gareth for success in late 2002: “boring DJs beware: Gareth Emery is about to kick your arse”, and they certainly weren't wrong. Approaching the close of 2003 he was voted the 132nd best DJ in the world in the prestigious DJ Mag Top 100 Poll - a fitting end to a superb year, and a clear sign of the impact Gareth's DJ sets have made in a short period.
