Emerson....a Brief History

Darren Emerson was the DJing third of Underworld MKII, and was the youngest member of the group.

He grew up on a diet of hip hop and breakdancing. 'I taught myself to mix by using the same two records...' he was 14, and he owned his own record decks. When acid house music took off with DJ International, Trax, Tyree and the likes, Darren knew that DJing was for him...

Darren worked as an established city trader...but he gave it all up for DJing...(well he was a runner on the stock exchange by day and DJed by night, but 'established city trader' sounds better)!

Darren met the other two members of Underworld (according to most reports) because Rick wanted to work with a DJ, during the period in which the band was reinventing itself from Underworld (Mark I) to Lemon Interupt / Underworld (Mark II). He was recommended by Rick's brother-in-law. Rick had married a girl from Romford, so her brother was well aware of the up and coming talents of the Romford DJ Darren.

Darren introduced the band as 'Underworld' to Junior Boys Own label boss Steve Hall at the Junior Boys Own party he was roped into DJ at, for the absent Andy Weatherall - the band name stuck (although they may have changed it as that was what they used to be called when they were a less successful pop/rock band in the late 80's - see history for more details).

Darren also partially set up Effective Records with Simon Hanson in 1992 (label on right). Effective were prolific in the early 90's and Gat Decors' 'Passion' was probably the labels biggest hit - and a sought after progressive house classic well worth checking out also worth checking is 'Positive Energy' by Hanson and Nelson which was another popular progressive tune (there are also rumours of Darren Emerson himself tinkering with this one...but I've never seen a copy....)

Whilst in Underworld, Emerson has also managed to set up his own label to release a more techno and trance output. (This has takenb a funky house slant in the past couple of years) Underwater, have now released 30+ singles - all are classic tracks in their own rights and worth checking out. The Biggest selling hit from this label is Tim Deluxe's - It Just Won't Do - championed by the likes of Fatboy Slim and so many others - 2002's summer anthem - no doubt

The Top 100 DJ'S

dj magazine ran a vote in 2001 to see who was the years top dj...

Darren Emerson came in at number 30, 4 up from last year this is what they said:

DJ MAGAZINE - DJ TOP 100 DJ'S - ISSUE DATE:2001-11-13

DARREN EMERSON - NUMBER 30 (UP 4)

AGE: 30 | NATIONALITY: British | FIRST GIG: a club in Southend, Essex. we did a Balearic house night there in 1988 called Outers | FIRST DJ PAY PACKET: doing the above | PREVIOUS JOBS: Working on the futures market | DJ STYLE: I just like playing good fresh music from house to harder edged stuff | PRODUCTION PSEUDONYMS: 'Ive had a few, there's more to come | FAVOURITE TUNE OF 2001: Tim Deluxe - Sirens (Underwater) | DO YOU EVER USE CD'S: Yes | FAVOURITE RECORD OF ALL TIME: Don't ask silly questions! | MOST TREASURED POSSESION: My willy! | FUTURE AMBITION: To Climb Everest | WEBSITE: Coming Soon (underwaterrecords.com)

Darren Emerson started DJing nearly 15 years ago, aged sixteen. An Essex lad, Darren secured his first gigs in his local clubs, but it wasn't long before his perfect mixing and advanced programming helped him progress to more renowned venues like the Milk Bar, all the while managing to hold onto his job on London's Stock Exchange. However, this was all set to change when Emerson's Djing started to win him media coverage, and as he turned 18, he was introduced to Rick Smith and Karl Hyde , his future partners in Underworld. With Emerson's more clubby influence, Underworld made three great albums - 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman', 'Second Toughest in the Infant' and 'Beaucoup Fish'. Fusing streams of consciousness lyrics with Darren's dancefloor suss, the act became known for their stunning, unpredictable live shows and sold over a million albums worldwide. Emerson's departure from Underworld last year was an unexpected move, but it was a result of his desire to branch out, expand his Djing work and to collaborate with producers he respected. The first fruit was the progressive anthem 'Scorchio', a co-production with Sasha, while Darren's love of the funky end of house and techno was captured on his first global underground CD 'Uruguay', earlier this year.

MIXMAG MAGAZINE (ISSUE DECEMBER 2001) TOP 100 TUNES 2001 - GAT DECORS - PASSION (EFFECTIVE, 1992) NUMBER 21

'Passion' was the brainchild of Laurence Nelson and Simon Hanson, then two jobbing DJs and London record shop employess (Gat is an anagram of of their store Tag). The tune sums up clubbing in London circa 1992, and is widely taken to be the prog house blueprint, and features Darren Emerson's first ever remix.

After getting on famously at a Djing gig in Uraguay, Sasha invited Darren Emerson round to his house. Messing about on the decks progressed to messing about in Sasha's studio with Charlie May from Spooky, and this progressive house anthem - Darren Emerson's first production since leaving Underworld - was the result. The track's insidious groove, memorable baseline and cheeky Balearic guitar made this a Space Terrace classic.
