Emiliyan

Based in Sofia, Bulgaria, Emiliyan has been steadily carving his place within the city’s evolving underground circuit since stepping behind the decks in 2018. In 2020, he became co-founder of Urban Gatherings, an event concept that quickly established itself as one of Sofia’s fastest-growing electronic movements, curating experiences across rooftops, open-air spaces and some of the country’s leading clubs alongside internationally recognised artists. Most recently holding a residency at the iconic Yalta Club, Emiliyan has shared lineups with names including Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice, Vintage Culture, Franky Rizardo, Archie Hamilton, Chelina Manuhutu, Ben Sterling and East End Dubs among others. His sets are built around groovy synth-driven minimal, deep tech and tech house, combining rolling grooves and stripped-back rhythms with energetic club-focused selections.
