The All You Need EP marks the first full house project on Ophelia Records since the label was created and comes from female house duo Gem & Tauri. With the help of label head Seven Lions on production, the two blend tech, deep and progressive house over four tracks as their first official release on the label. Gem & Tauri have opened countless Ophelia showcase, sold out shows at Mission Ballroom, Mezzanine, Avant Gardner, all of Seven Lions’ recurring Visions festivals and most recently Insomniac’s Gorge stream to an audience of about 15k concurrent viewers. It includes big vocal features including trance leading singer, songwriter and solo touring artist HALIENE and Fiora, responsible for many of the vocals on Seven Lions’ largest and most classic tracks.
Lovers of all House music, Courtney Simmons and Emma Montalvo under the alias Gem & Tauri have been involved in the EDM scene for over 10 years attending, working events and gaining a love for the genre, playing underground events as well as supporting acts for Ophelia Showcases at Echostage, Avant Gardner, Mezzanine SF and Miami Music Week. In 2020 the two began a weekly live stream performance from home. Alongside partner and musical business owner Jeff Montalvo (Seven Lions) they then gained interest in production and songwriting. Under the wing of the musical legend, they went to work on an EP to bring beautiful melodic vocals with groovy bass lines and feel good sounds.
All You Need is the first melodic house EP to release on Ophelia Records. The EP features vocalists Haliene, Fiora & Arpyem as well as an instrumental track. Their chemistry on the decks has been well received by new fans. Their extensive touring knowledge and experience allows them to bring a fresh sound with familiar faces. This year promises more amazing sets, collaborations and live streaming.
