Sweden's Electro Clash-queen EMMON celebrates her success with a new remixed version of the hit-album 'RECON'
EMMON (aka Emma Nylén) lates album 'RECON' has been hailed with glowing reviews and nominations for best album by the likes of GAFFA, HYMN and DN. More over the album was awarded "Synth Release of the Year" at the Manifest Gala 2023, won the acclaimed "Release of the Year" by the highly appraised Synthsläggan Awards and the GAFFA Award for "Electro of the Year". Now, Sweden's own Electro Clash queen prepares to drop a remixed version of the celebrated album dubbed 'RECOMIXED', featuring remixes by the likes of ULTRA SUNN, Tobias Bernstrup, Harlem, ZackZackZack and more.
As a taste, EMMONs released a series of remix-singles from the upcoming collection. First up was ‘Machines’, the artist's own homage to the electronic music scene, for which she teams up with ULTRA SUNN and Tobias Bernstrup in two new pumping versions. Next, French duo Potochkine took on 'Like A Drum' with their dark techno vibes. The last single before the album release was Majestoluxe version of the popular duet 'Purebloods', originally performed by Emmon and Emanuel Åström from Agent Side Grinder. EMMON tells us: “As an artist and DJ, remixes lie close to my heart. To hear my own songs transformed through a creative process of other artists is comparable to opening presents on Christmas Eve as a child. A kind of magic occurs when the music is expanded in a state that is uncontrollable to me.”
Aside from the preparations for the new 'RECOMIXED' album, EMMON has also had a busy year with her live-band, playing show all over Europe. Some highlights is her sold out concert at the Modern Museum in Stockholm (SE), her support-slot for D.A.F. (Robert Görl) in Copenhagen (DK) and her performance at this summers NCN Festival in Leipzig (DE). As a well known DJ, EMMON is also making several appearances on the club-scene and has recently hosted the radio music show P3MIX on Swedish National Radio, with electronic and synth-based music.

Sweden's electro queen EMMON releases anticipated full-length album RECON of 8 years!
Sweden's electro queen EMMON, aka Emma Nylén, returned to the Electronic Body Music Scene after an 5 year long break in 2019. After releasing 4 stand alone singles under the working name "Under construction", Emmon is now back to reclaim her throne with brand new album "RECON", out on October 7. Dropping the single 'Prurebloods' featuring post punk icon Emanuel Åström from Agent Side Grinder, and 'Machines' during the summer and early autumn, she is now preparing her release party of the full-length with the applauded EBM festival BODYFEST in Stockholm on October 8th.
'RECON' is a routhless EBM-album, packed with thundering basslines and gritty synths, all coming together seamlessly under Emma's characteristically smooth soprano vocals. The industrial-club romanticism and pumping beat takes the listener on a journey through well thought out lyricism that carry a red thread throughout the 10 tracks. Emma goes on to explain: ”The new songs have become harder and got a darker costume. Musically, I went back to my creative roots and to the sound of the 00's electroclash scene that Emmon was created and descends from. Mixed with progressive old school synth in a postmodern production that is primarily produced to be performed live.”
Returning to the stage after a 5 year long break in 2019 with several live shows planned when the first wave of the pandemic hit, Emmon's gig at SUBKULT this summer was received with great enthusiasm. Filling the dance floor to the brim with starry eyed (and black robed) synth enthusiasts, finally getting that long awaited taste of her new upcoming album, her performance was reviewed and celebrated by fans and media alike. HYMN recites the show and tells it's readers that: "The new material fills the dancefloor with heavy programmed basslines and hard hitting dance beats. The EBM-transformation is a very successful move and really gets the crowd going. But we also get some electro-clash classics such as "Lips on Fire", and many need to fight back the tears when she covers Depeche Mode's "The Sun and the Rainfall", as a homage to the recently passed Andy Fletcher. After this festival highlight, I look forward to her oncoming full-length RECON even more."
New album "RECON" by EMMON is released on all major platforms via Icons Creating Evil Art on October 7th 2022.
