GARETH EMERY ANNOUNCES HIS THIRD STUDIO ALBUM ‘100 REASONS TO LIVE’ DUE OUT APRIL 1

 

Many things have happened with U.K. producer, songwriter and DJ GARETH EMERY since the 2014 release of his last studio album, DRIVE.  He made Los Angeles home, welcomed the birth of his first child and launched his radio show, “Electric For Life.” In between touring, his time was focused in the studio working on his third album, 100 REASONS TO LIVE, due out on Garuda Music/Armada April 1.

Today (February 19), along with the reveal of the album title and its release date, EMERY has released his new single “Reckless” featuring U.K. indie darlings Wayward Daughter as an instant grat with album pre-order.  View its gorgeous video filmed in New Zealand here: https://youtu.be/tc7U9q1C4iA

Known the world over for his keen ability to blend house, progressive and trance into his music, EMERY continues to build on his reputation for the follow up to DRIVE and his 2010 debut Northern Lights.  Fans have already gotten a taste of the album with U.S. radio smash “Hands” with Alastor feat. London Thor and “Until We Meet Again” with Ben Gold.  Other featured artists joining on the album include Christina Novelli, Corey Sanders, Joseph, Garvielle and Alex & Sierra.  The full track listing follows below.

To support 100 REASONS TO LIVE, GARETH EMERY will embark on a run of specialty dates in North America starting April 7 in Washington, D.C.  He’ll pass through some of the country’s most renowned boutique clubs such as Output in Brooklyn, Audio in San Francisco and Spades in Minneapolis, offering a chance for his fans to experience the album via DJ sets in an intimate setting.  Ticket holders for each show will receive a limited edition vinyl copy of 100 REASONS TO LIVE.  Look for him to return to the road in the fall to play larger venues.  The complete list of dates follows below.

“A good melody can change the world,” the philosophy behind Gareth Emery’s 2015: the year that saw him DJ the closing ceremony of the European Olympic Games, host his first festival stage at Australia’s infamous Stereosonic, and finish his highly anticipated third artist album 100 Reasons To Live.   Already with two U.S. iTunes #1 albums, five million records sold worldwide and a social media following of 4 million+, Emery is stepping into legendary territory, and it all comes down to one thing… music. In 2015, he released DRIVE Refueled, the remix album of his hugely successful sophomore offering with a list of contributors that reads like a festival main stage flyer: W&W, Deorro, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano to name a few. He also released the face-ripping club anthem ‘Huracan,’ U.S. radio hit ‘Hands’ and one of the biggest remixes of the year, Cosmic Gate’s ‘Going Home.’ But it wasn’t just his solo releases that were making huge waves, it was also his role as curator of the hottest EDM brand of the year: Electric For Life.  Beginning as a radio show, showcasing the best of electronic music regardless of genre, the unprecedented popularity of the brand soon meant it was selling out shows (13 across the globe including his largest ever solo show at the legendary Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles), hosting festival stages (Stereosonic), and raising over 100,000USD for various charities via its hugely popular merchandise line. To close the year, Emery celebrated with a 24 hour live broadcast named #EFLDAY, which featured 50 industry superstars including Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, NERVO and many more. With a brand new album and world tour planned for 2016, Emery is set to change the world. One great melody at a time.
