Emissive (Evan Jamal Vincent) is an electronic music DJ & producer from Toronto, Canada. A musical upbringing and a handful of trips to Detroit and London at a formative age helped plant the seeds of the Emissive concept. (Emissivity = a principle in physics defined as the measure of infrared energy radiated from an object.) Drawing influence from the explosion of forward-thinking 90s electronic music innovation and shining it through the mutated prism of contemporary sound design approaches, Vincent’s music is familiar yet otherworldly, conjuring an imagined nostalgia that serves as a blueprint for how to move forward. Using varied rhythms and velocities as a canvas upon which to lay a raw, enveloping, harmonic tapestry results in songs that are as propulsive as they are grounding. 

He has just launched a label called earthNetwork, which is a home for various new collaborative efforts taking on new aliases and personas. The label's first release: ENRG001 released June 6th and is available digitally via bandcamp.  

Vincent’s most recent solo release comes in the form of a 4 track EP called Unseen Measures on NYC label Aronia Records. The release has been met with enthusiastic support from artists/DJs such as Entro Senestre, NIKS, Yumi, deep creep, m50, Tony Price, Honeydrip and Francis Harris. The release has also had favourable write-ups in Resident Advisor and DJ Mag. Vincent has recently debuted a new live set for MUTEK Montreal 2023 and released a follow up album to 2020’s Active Surplus (a joint venture with long-time collaborator Ian Syrett) summer 2023.

In addition to this, he has recently completed an original score for an independent short documentary from director Lucy Cameron.
