" Some DJ careers are built on hype. Emeraldia Ayakashi’s career is built on substance. A musician who thinks of music as energy, uses sound as a raw material, and sees the whole world as his instrument. " NME

" Her tracks are cold, strict and effective, close to the New Wave synthetic, percussive, repetitive, and dancing. Her sets are sometimes nervous and dark, illuminated by electro rockbeats. Otherwise, her music can also be sexy, like a cocoon where we feel comfortable enough to let our emotions soar and our imagination wander free. " TRAX Magazine
