Meraki is a newly formed Drum & Bass duo from the South East consisting of Kim Harrington and Emily James. They are a raucous female duo who are currently tearing through the Drum & Bass scene. Meraki have won over audiences with their selection, skill and energy together behind the decks – some even referring to them as ‘Queens Of The Rollers’.
Formally known as Laya and Ember after 8 years of playing solo they have joined forces to bring the soul led duo Meraki to life. Driven by dark rollers…grunting horns…snarling basslines…vocals…and everything in between! They’ve been supporting some of Drum n Bass’ heavyweights such as Annix, DJ Limited, T.I, Levela, DJ Marky, Lenzman, Bcee, Dj Aphrodite, Congo Natty, Rene LaVice, High Contrast, Bladerunner, Bad Company and many more…this is only the very beginning.
Quote from the ladies: ‘It’s not just about picking a few tunes it’s about understanding a group of individuals and directing them to a better place. We’re ready to take you on a journey’. The question is… Are you?
You can catch Meraki playing at RAM’s Xmas Party alongside Calyx & Teebee, Shimon, Skantia, Magnetude and more at XOYO on 21st December, more info and tickets here
