Problem

Electronic music is one of the most popular music genres. But there is hard to find a typical way to produce original music or listen to new electronic music.

“I want to find underground electronic music, which are the best sites or stores to go to?”
“How can I start producing electronic music?”
“What is the best way/places to discover and stumble upon new electronic music?”

Market Opportunity

Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo are very popular perform events. Standing on the stage is the unknown musician's dream. However, in the current market, hardly find a typical way to help the young musicians standing on the stage.

Solution

Make the voice to hear.

Here are some promising electronic musicians that are “must hear” for everyone who has a passion for synth music. EME will help young talented musicians to publish their music.Meanwhile, EME will bridge the gap between the young talented with music festivals and production companies.

Takeaways

Not everyone's dream could come true, at least having a vibe to make an effort.

This is my favorite branding + UI UX project. Being a music enthusiast myself, working on EME is an incredibly rewarding process. With the help of my instructor Matthew Bennett(Founder of iid), I enjoy the visual exploration process that emphasizes personality by branding and interaction design. It was the moment that I understood branding is not only color, type. It is the story and experiences I created for people.
