    Darren Emerson Biog
    Darren Emerson is one of the most influential figures in dance music,
    an accolade that after a career spanning more than 18 years and
    counting.

    Whilst growing up on a diet of hip-hop, break-dancing and later acid
    house, Darren bought his first set of decks at 14 and began Djing in
    clubs at the tender age of 16. Inspired by DJs such as Jazzy M, Darren
    would travel two hours on a train from his hometown in Essex to visit
    record stores across London for the latest vinyl. His first gig was at
    a club called Outers in Southend, playing early Chicago and Balearic
    house. He then progressed onto the Milk Bar and Limelight, djing
    alongside Johnny Walker and soon gaining recognition by being named as
    DJ of the month in both the Face and I-D magazine - soon the bookings
    came flooding in.

    Darren chose to ditch his job as an established city trader and take
    on dance music full time. Recently turned 18, a friend introduced him
    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 Darren - and the rest is, well. Underworld.

    Signed to Junior Boys Own - whom Darren 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 of course, 'Born Slippy' - all classics. As well as
    their chart success, Underworld were renowned for their stunning and
    unpredictable live shows.

    2000 saw Darren 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 work with producers he was meeting on his
    travels across the world.


    The first collaboration saw Darren and DJ cohort Sasha produce the
    Ibiza classic - 'Scorchio' - a perfect accompaniment for Space on
    Sundays. Re-establishing himself as a tech-house heavyweight, two
    Global Underground compilations soon followed; 'Uruguay' and
    'Singapore' and the hugely successful Underwater Episodes 1 & 2. All
    proving that Darren was back to doing what he does best; showcasing a
    party-wise selection of deep, chunky house and funky techno cuts to
    perfection. Darren has also, since his first remix for Gat Décor's
    'Passion' on Effective Records in 1992 (Darren's first label), remixed
    tracks for Fat Boy Slim, The Prodigy, Puff Daddy, Hatiras' 'Spaced
    Invader' (Defected) Meeker and Gus Gus.
    Darren started Underwater Records in 1994 - initially to release
    records for his friends, the label, since its inception has 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 Magazine and went from strength to strength releasing
    albums and singles from its ever growing and increasingly varied
    roster of artists. Darren continued his hugely successful Underwater
    residency at London's The End, until the club sadly closed its doors
    early 2009. The residency began in February 2001 and has since seen
    the likes of Fatboy Slim, Josh Wink, Carl Craig, Tim Deluxe, D.
    Ramirez and Yousef alongside up and coming talent like Serge Santiago
    and Deepgroove.
    Having spent most of 2007 touring the globe as one of the world's most
    in demand DJ's, Darren has recently returned to the studio which is
    very exciting news indeed. In 2008 Darren released tasty new techno
    club track 'Crash Jack' which received support from heavyweight DJ's
    such as James Zabiela and John Digweed.
    In February 2009, Darren will be releasing his eagerly anticipated 3rd
    Global Underground mix CD 'Bogota' whilst continuing his unrelenting
    schedule of Djing around the globe - at some point he sleeps.
