Creating juxtaposition within tracks can add an unexpected element to any tune within the EDM world. Whether it be a contrast in light and dark, soft and heavy, or anything in between, these opposites captivate listeners with their changes, creating a perfect exciting balance within a track. Up-and-coming bass queen, Emily Amstrong who is better known as Vyhara, has created the perfect variance in soft light melodies with heavy bass drops to produce an absolutely killer bass track that you do not want to miss. With its deep bassline, floating melodic sound, and overall bouncy vibe, this track is definitely going to be catching the ears of listeners all over. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling this heater “Eclipse”, a certified bop.
“I’ve always been super interested in creating contrast in my songs – in this one I wanted to combine heavy basses with light, mellow instruments. This was the goal with Eclipse, and even though it went through a bunch of different versions I’m excited to share the final track with everyone.”

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?
It’s hard to remember what got me into music because I was so young, but I definitely grew up in a creative family. I used to play guitar and drums for a while from when I was a kid up until middle school, and then down the line, I started making dance music. I would go to a bunch of festivals and shows in high school and college (and still do) but it’s kind of wild because I never thought I would end up playing shows or anything. I’m so glad I ended up working at it because it led to meeting a lot of amazing people! I always just stuck with making music because I don’t think I could stop creating even if I wanted to, it’s kind of ingrained in me at this point.
2. What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced being an up-and-coming female DJ in the scene? Is there anything you would change within the scene in regard to this?
For me the biggest challenge is feeling like I need to work twice as hard because I’m a female DJ and producer – there are good people out there in the scene for sure, but I think it’s harder to be taken seriously as a female artist. Like a few months ago a guy asked me if I produced my own music – and I have a feeling he wouldn’t have asked me that if I were a man if I’m being totally honest. I’m not too sure how to change this, but I’m hoping that when people see more women starting to come up in the scene, maybe their mindsets and biases towards women might start to change.
3. Is there a message you would like to portray through your music, and if so, what would it be?
Sometimes it can change depending on where I’m at, but overall I just hope I can put something out there that feels genuine and that someone resonates with. I try to make music that expresses whatever I’m going through in an unfiltered way.
4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?
I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is just to keep working on music, even when I feel writer’s block. Doing creative work can feel like a little bit of a roller coaster sometimes, so just committing to staying creative has been really helpful when there are low moments.
