Live Review: CANT SAY LIVE MIX: Emoh Instead (What So Not) [FREE DOWNLOAD]
CAN'T SAY's resident DJ Emoh Instead had his explosive set recorded at our Melbourne club the Friday before Christmas. Give it a listen!
Were you at CAN'T SAY the Friday before Christmas? If so, you probably broke quite the sweat to EMOH INSTEAD's insane live set. Want to relive it? Well, okay!
The resident DJ of our Melbourne club is really quite good at what he does. You may also know him as half of What So Not and a member of Fake Bratpack. He's gained attention from some pretty heavy names – Tiga, Nero, Diplo, Flosstradamus and Baauer to name a few!
When Emoh isn't behind the decks himself, he's been known to feature on some other DJ sets due to the popularity of his sweet bootlegs and edits. But when he is manning the decks, he really does nail it. Which is why we want to give you the first of many Emoh Instead live sets. You're welcome!

Made up of gritty beats and effects travelling at different tempos yet heading in the same location, this set is quite a versatile mix! Samples are warped and repeated, beats are dropped and effects are used to the best of their ability. The way the set flows is impressive as Emoh introduces different soundscapes to one other, completely abandoning the concept of genre.
The set is quite broken up, as at times we are treated to a track, whereas at other points we've got a mash up of beats. If you're patient enough, you'll even hear the Lion King wedge it's way in about the half way point of this set!
At times this mix is quite elusive, such as the haunting mystique that this mix becomes around the 13 minute mark. Other times it's quite airy and light, such as Major Lazer's introduction to the hour set with their track 'Get Free'. This doesn't last too long though as a pretty sick breakdown enters just moments after.
The set wraps up pretty unexpectedly as Baauer's remix of Flosstradamus' 'Rollup' just kind of stops. It's at the end that the suddenly empty void makes you realise how much you enjoyed the past 56 minutes! But let's be honest, that was always going to happen.
