In The Studio With Emika 

I already really liked her music. Then to find here she is so wonderfully unpretentious is even better. No bullshit, just talent and hard work. Respect.

absolutely adore this one ... Emika turned me onto other female electronic artists... i believe she is very underrated and sometimes thats just alright... definitely one of the most talented artists of the times (above and below)...

I've been producing since 04, not eh longest time but long enough to know that Ema rocks and is very good at her job. A true artist. While all you kids are playing around with Ableton Live's beat and note stealing features, she is creating original music. I don't understand the hate. She is everything a music producer should be, and more.

some people make products, other people make art. This girl is an artist.

Dear FM, Please show more wide shots of these people's studios... as someone who is constantly tweaking my home studio arrangement, it is useful to see how others have their studios setup. Thanks!

OK. New Emika fan. She has concepts that drive these pieces a bit deeper than the sub basses within them. She is not afraid to program and experiment and she visibly loves what she is doing. Great clip FM!

Never compromise your vision! Keep fighting.

I like her hi-hats comment. They really can kill the groove.

the percussion in this track is beyond dope!!!!

Watching her at work, explaining how she composed Battles made me remember making music on the Music 2000 game on my Playstation.

Kannte Emika vorher nicht, aber find die echt klasse! Scheint auch mächtig Ahnung zu haben von dem was sie tut! Danke FMM!

I think I love her. Great music and techniques too...but, yeah I think I love her.

Loved the record and this video was really great as well, really nice to see how she works.

the song's nice ...........i'm addicted......she's s elegant and different from other edm artists

Awesome video. very inspiring to see her work. thank you guys for another "In The Studio" please please keep posting more. i love them. thank you again.

This was neat. Kinda refreshing after most of the usual FM stuff. I dig it. More of this kind of stuff please. Male, female, doesn't matter. Could you guys do more IDM, Psytrance kind of stuff, too?

Most impressive. Really enjoyed seeing how you construct your work and hearing of the inspiration for your work.. The cutting technique is very effective. Thanks for sharing with us.

I like her stuff, she reminds me that in the end music isn't about perfect mixing or technical skills with your daw, but about putting sounds together so it sounds well.

Really digging her style. I think this may be my favorite FMM upload.

Good for Emika. Hey, wish I was doing the whole 'creating music' thing. I just don't have the talent. And I like some of her tunes, beats, samples. Yeah, sure, she's figuring it out, wearing all the hats (entrepreneur, business owner, sourcer, musician, flex-time employee lol, producer, DJ, recruiter, collaborator, networker...oh man it goes on), so...let her get on with it :) Fair play to her. In my view, one word: Amazing. Many people struggle with their j.o.b. (just.over.broke.), whilst at least she's actually doing it. We don't have to like every beat producer out there (thank you for variety in life, dear universe), but these artists/musicians are just people who saw a vision, stumbled forward, and then started carving out their own versions of that dream (that inner calling) that so many of us have. Seriously. Chapeau a vous, Emika. Chapeau.

“I hope she becomes very famous” - Thom Yorke

I really like her way of doing stuff. You can notice she really does know what she's talking about, and that she knows pretty advanced music theory (the chord sequences she does with the piano on the second track look like they move among different scales) yet she keeps the song quite simple and neat. Another proof that music may sound better by being more complex, but it really doesnt have to be so. Comparing this woman with avicii I noticed that she works in a passionate and personal way about her songs. Avicii prefers doing quick well-sounding songs but he doesnt give that much part from himself to them (his own synths and grooves). I aint sayin thats wrong, but if all of us made unique songs music nowadays would be awarded with outstanding variety, instead of having loads of equal sounding songs. Im sorry if my vocab wasnt accurate enough, i am not used to talking about music in english; never been taught so

became a fan at 0:24 without having listened to her music solely due to the fact she's jamming on a D-1000.

finally a good and interesting musician on FM

Your music have depth and soul which is rarely found these days.

Cool. You don't see many female-producers, and singers that produce their own beats are rare too. She is doing both :D

this is kinda refreshing I've always been curious how women approach music productions i'm basically here to steal some tips.

that pitched down vocal is fucking badass, would love to play around with it

I love how he production tells a story, it gets you right in there, dope stuff!!!

i have never heard of Emika but now your one of my favorite artists :)

You should check out her album on Spotify. Awesome electronic music so all the men haters out there are just jealous because she rocks!!!

Nice Monitors I got Events. Had them for over 20 years and still going

she's awesome.

Have you ever considered the fact, negative commenters, that since there are less of us producing, that fact alone also means there are simply less of us creating crap. For every chick producing anything good or bad, there are legions upon legions of crap male producers. Who clearly shouldn't be anywhere a computer with ableton on it. Yet they do it anyway. And then their crap producer friends keep telling them how awesome those big room drops are. It's not a bunch of chicks to blame for the all the festival trap. My god, some of the stuff you guys invented and collectively decided is good really needs to be addressed.

never heard of this chick before, but she is pretty good. Going to check her out now! I would like to here her and boys noize together.

The female brain is something I've wanted to pick for a long time in terms of electronic music production. Glad I ran into this. Anyone got any other female electronic music producers they would recommend?

love her tiny native instruments story, haha such a wonderful video!

A very refreshing aproach to production....fair play

Looking forward to Part 2: In The Bedroom With Emika

it's 2015,she's using logic studio, she's knows her cooking. .

Какая она молодец. Сама всё умеет делать. I like your songs

woah, I love what she is doing... Emika, the words you were looking for in the first 3 or so minutes are...: "art is resistance" and vica versa! gl in the future! I really like that you are taking inspiration from the real world, your experiences, especially from the dark side :D ps. I am not in place to give you a piece of advice, but try using velocity on percs.

Her sound design is off the wall, no one will ever sound close to her because she literally build 90% from scratch...

Мощно ,сильно, красиво, оригинально, продолжай Эмма! 😀👍🤟💪

a great artist. love your sound

LOVE IT!!!! so inspiring! Thank you

love that bass and pads! awso

I like your unique imagines

She should collaborate with Deadmau5! Especially with the vocals!

really feeling good about female music producers :)

Amazing

She truly is a goddess.

daamn you're cool Emika :D

Me agrado tu trabajo!!!

This is beautiful

Я люблю Берлин!!!

Great track and its groove!

Wow.. I love your sound and voice :)

She says that she creates all of her sounds, then mentions she holds power over other producers because of this. Within the next minute: "I got these samples from native instruments, but I still pasted them in by hand." Damn.

FUQ yea! Piano sounds divine.

Music Passionist !

that's my kind of kitchen where i cook my beats

Love this. Great vid

So simple but not under the hood. Inspiring!

Emika=genius

Daaaaamn... she has access to exclusive NI shit that never came out hahahah. Amazing.

So many artists are stuck in lp9

What Computer platform are you using to track your music and songs. I know its a Mac but which one. Power wise. Thank you and great track.

she dope

that really wonderful accent u have

muy bueno saludos

yes, must get out of that corner, especially w/ acoustic panels in tow! but great work, (musta been headphones)

Omg those drums at 7:00 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Do a in the studio with alesso!!!!!

17:12 AWESOME!!!

The Reason that high-hats kill the groove is because everyone quantises the shit out of them these days so they sound dead & sterile. Speaking of which.. her piano take 14:02 is incredibly dynamic, expressive, emotional & inimitable. And THEN she goes & takes all the humanity out of it, & kills the feeling in it. Each to their own though, so as long as you all just do what YOU think sounds best, you'll be fine. ;)

That Virus bass sounds slick!

Is that a Mooer Pitch Box?

Try mixing samples of electronic drums kit

Do Dannic next!!!!!

What software is that?

What lenses is this shot with?

Did she just give a wink to how massive it actually was.

@ 9:18 thats some poltergiest type stuff there. Nice effects.

You have some amazing gear. I was wondering about your stereo monitors, what brand are they? And do you use all four together at the same time? What sort of mixer do you have all your synths connected too?

Never heard of this one o_O

megusta como esplicas puedes desirme como como ases un remix

I thought she used Ableton?

Teacher teach me about chords progressions

Didnt realise Emika is such a babe

what is this software?

I'd love to know how Emika ensures mono compatibility when layering a stereo subline with a mono one.

🤔🤔🤔 hmmm!!!. well i suppose if anyone is depressed and wants to fall even deeper into depression!!! then yeah!!! definetly listen to this song!!!!. 👍

The EXS24 sampler seems to be immortal like Highlander.

Why are there not enough organic, straight up producers like her? The build of Battles was surprisingly simple, but so to the point. 5 Stars; this girl rocks.

Wow she literally worked with the guy who created massive! So cool

6:05 so im not the only one stealing at work... im a bank employee btw

She has a pretty fresh sound. The percussion works really well with the spliced vocals. Totally agree that non-stop hats kind of kills the mood in some songs.

Wow Emika is very talented..although i am not into this kind of music,i really like her style and ideas:)

I think Emika deserves a lot of respect both as a composer and producer. She is very professional producer and very talented composer (imho). I like her Klavirni piano album a lot
