Elise Ember is a Los Angeles–based DJ, rising music producer, and creative firestarter known for setting techno dance floors ablaze. A second-generation DJ with a foundation in professional dance and fashion design, Elise infuses every performance with a signature aesthetic and embodied energy. Her background in fashion isn’t just about looking the part—it’s about curating an immersive visual and sensory experience that moves in sync with the music. On stage, she channels her dance roots to guide the crowd, creating a space where movement isn’t just encouraged—it’s inevitable.
“Dance has always been my first
language,” Elise says. “Dance is
this profound, emotional release,
and for me, DJing has always been
about getting people out of their
heads and into their bodies.”
Currently honing her music production skills, Elise is merging the gritty influences from her early days of mixing dark underground rap with the raw power of techno. The result is a sound that’s magnetic, hard-hitting, and unmistakably her own.
Live Performances & Releases
Her debut single, Crush It Up, brought her sound full circle, weaving her alternative roots into her high-energy, movement-focused style — a first glimpse into the future she’s shaping.
Multiple times, she has lit up iconic venues like Academy Los Angeles, opening for Marie Vaunt and RESTRICTED—and Sound Nightclub, where she shared the stage with Luca Angelli. She’s also opened for ØTTA and Farrago in New York—just to name a handful of the countless artists she has played alongside. She’s torn through nearly every major underground techno event in LA, from Code Red to Incognito. You name it.
Elise’s talent has taken her beyond LA, headlining for Redline Chicago, and multiple shows in Seattle, as well as San Francisco, San Diego, New York, and even Tijuana, Mexico. Each set is a testament to her versatility and her ability to keep the crowd moving no matter where she plays.
