Emika is an English musician of Czech origin. Her second album 'Dva' has just been released on Ninja Tune. She has moved further into darkwave territory and away from her dubstep beginnings. "Centuries" is certainly dark, with a video to match, but the pulsating beat is hypnotic and even a bit uplifting. But don't be fooled - this is no shiny happy feel-good number. In fact, it takes you into the depth of sadness towards the end, which is even reminiscent of Henryk Gorecki's 'Symphony No. 3' featuring Dawn Upshaw. Emika may have joined the likes of Grimes with this album.
