Let’s meetup for What So Not!
What So Not: Architect of Sonic Alchemy
What So Not, the musical project of Australian DJ and producer Emoh Instead (Chris Emerson), has consistently transcended genre boundaries to become a driving force in the global electronic music landscape.
With a keen ear for innovation, What So Not continued to reshape the electronic music narrative, delivering a series of groundbreaking singles and EPs. The anthem “High You Are” and the trap-influenced “Tell Me” featuring RL Grime showcased his ability to craft diverse sonic experiences that resonated with audiences worldwide.
Emerging from the dynamic Sydney music scene, What So Not gained international recognition with the release of the collaborative EP “Flume x What So Not,” featuring the hit track “Jaguar.” Chris Emerson’s solo journey as What So Not expanded the project’s sonic palette, incorporating elements of future bass, house, and indie electronica. The debut album, “Not All the Beautiful Things,” further solidified What So Not’s reputation as a boundary-pushing artist.
Beyond his studio prowess, What So Not’s electrifying performances on global stages, including Coachella and Ultra Music Festival, have left an indelible mark.
With accolades from the industry and a devoted fan base, What So Not remains at the forefront of sonic alchemy, continually pushing the boundaries of electronic music expression.
