Emphasis

**Emphasis** is a mysterious figure in the underground electronic music scene, known for crafting gritty, lo-fi techno and acid-tinged grooves that feel ripped from basement rave mixtapes. Operating under a veil of anonymity, they’ve become a cult favorite for their raw, hardware-driven sound and vinyl-focused EPs on labels like Lobster Theremin. Tracks like “Dust Cloud” and the “Gradient Point EP” showcase their knack for punchy drums, squelchy synths, and a DIY ethos that nods to ‘90s warehouse parties. While they keep their identity under wraps, Emphasis’s music does the talking—no-nonsense dancefloor weapons built for dark rooms and fog machines.
