GLOBAL UNDERGROUND TOUR with

MAIN ROOM:
DARREN EMERSON (Underworld, Underwater, GU)

DJ / PRODUCER / REMIXER / LABEL OWNER>
At 18, a friend introduced Darren to Rick Smith and Karl Hyde. Smith and Hyde had been in a band together for several years and needed a new injection from a DJ/Producer – in the form of Emerson - and the rest is… UNDERWORLD!

Signed to Junior Boys Own - whom Emerson was already producing for, the band released three albums: ‘Dubnobasswithmyheadman', ‘Second Toughest in the Infant' and ‘Beaucoup Fish' - and have since sold over a million albums world wide. Their hits include Cowgirl, Rez, Dark and Long and Born Slippy – all classics.

2000 saw Emerson depart from the band and go at it solo. Although Underworld had been his passion for 10 years, it was time to branch out; expand his DJíng and to work with producers he was meeting on his travels across the world.

The first collaboration saw Emerson and DJ cohort Sasha produce the Ibiza classic - ‘Scorchio' – a perfect accompaniment for Space on Sundays. Re-establishing himself as a tech-house heavy weight, two Global Underground compilations soon followed; ‘Uruguay' and ‘Singapore' and the hugely successful Underwater Episodes 1 and 2. All proving that Emerson was back to doing what he does best; showcasing a party-wise selection of deep, chunky house and funky techno cuts to perfection. Emerson has also, since his first remix for Gat Décor's ‘Passion' on Effective Records in 1992 (Emerson's first label), remixed tracks for Fat Boy Slim, The Prodigy, Puff Daddy, Hatiras' ‘Spaced Invader' (Defected) Meeker and gus gus.

Emerson started Underwater Records in 1994. Initially to release records for his friends, the label has, since it's inception, seen releases from Steve Mac, Mutiny, Meeker, Gus Gus, Pnau, Paul Jackson, Sharam Jey and Tim Deluxe – whose ‘Sirens/ We All Love Sax' and ‘It Just Won't Do' managed to put Underwater firmly in place on the independent label spectrum.

In 2003 Underwater was voted label of the year by DJ mag and continues to go from strength to strength releasing albums and singles from its ever growing and increasingly varied roster of artists.

This year Darren released his third Global Underground mix CD recorded in Bogota. Plans for the coming year include more club tracks and a worldwide tour to promote the compilation , hence this party!
