Bill has been part of the EMM Labs family for over 20 years. Countless phone calls, countless conversations about music. Visiting NYC, it only felt right to personally deliver his new PREi alongside @audioshield . A special visit, and a reminder of what this is all about… the people, the relationships, and the music.
We were pleased to host LA based, 12-time Grammy Award–nominated producer Carlos Castro in our room at AXPONA 2026.
During the session, Carlos presented new recordings featuring Latin artist Elyan, offering a first listen ahead of releases from his forthcoming HiFi-focused label, Surconic. The presentation gave attendees a closer look at his approach to recording, production, and playback in a high-resolution environment. It was a great opportunity to close our eyes and be taken away by Elyan’s gorgeous vocals and instrumentation.
It was also a great opportunity to reflect on Carlos’s long-standing relationship with EMM Labs, while discussing his upcoming projects and the direction of his new label.
Watch the video above for a little sneak peak of his music with Elyan and stay tuned for more music and news from his Surconic label.
