EMC is partnering with Here For Good to bring Elijah The Talks and his ‘Yellow Squares’ lecture to Sydney and Western Sydney this September.

Multi-hyphenate Elijah (label founder, designer, artist manager, DJ) challenges the way we think about working in the music industry, sharing knowledge from his career with fellow creatives through his provocations globally known as the Yellow Squares on Instagram and X (@Eli1ah). His focus on sustainable artist creation, community, electronic music, grime and rap, web3, social media and other questions around outdated industry systems explore creative resilience and building communities.

“Elijah curates content cross-platform to lift the veil on the business of electronic music, with a goal of democratising knowledge for all.” - Resident Advisor

For the lecture he will be covering

Why Social Media Is A Canvas and not an advertising board
Elijah's deep feedback loop of creating ideas
The future of DJing
How creatives scenes develop, and die

We’re excited to bring Elijah to Sydney and Western Sydney for the Elijah The Talks gathering IRL to explore his ideas and progressive thinking in-depth. Following his Yellow Squares lecture, there’ll be a significant portion of the afternoon dedicated to Q&A and group discussion, followed by a social mixer in the last part of the event.
