Em Williams
Em Williams is a Bristol-based DJ, producer and co-founder of Mix Nights – the long-running DJ course created with Daisy Moon and Danielle. A mainstay of the UK underground, her sets blend house, techno, electro, breaks, bass and jungle with fluidity and depth, earning her residencies at cult festivals like Field Maneuvers and Gottwood, as well as a past residency at Oxford’s legendary club night, Simple.
Beyond the booth, Em is a passionate advocate for community and representation in music. She’s a mentor, event promoter, label owner, radio host and mother – and plays a central role at Saffron, uplifting women, non-binary and trans individuals. Through Mix Nights, she supports a new generation of DJs both online and in person.
In 2018, Em teamed up with Stav to form EM + STAV – a dynamic duo championing Bristol’s forward-thinking club culture. Their UK-focused sets tap into the rich lineage of bass and techno, taking them to festivals and venues like Love International, Paloma, Headroom, and Livity Sound showcases. Together they also run the JoyLift label and event series.
