it was in an interview that Lloyd translated (& pot on his blog) from a dutch site i think...Karl said he bumped in to Darren and they had a drink

[undarrenworld]

Thats very cool man thx for info. ;)

[undarrenworld]

Thats cool.
Im listening now Darren's set from Glastonbury and its amazing. The opening nuxx intro is amazing. Pleasure for ear...

[Dirty0900]

Glad to see they were reunited and it went well.

more Emerson news...online Electronic Magazine 'EQ' has an interview with tho original 'Darren'

here (http://www.eq-mag.co.uk/)

he talks allthings Underwater...

[undarrenworld]

great job mate, i was searching for that. thx.;)

BTW That intro is strong thats great job... Never listened better intro in a set.. never...

And i dont think that intro is mentioned in this setlist. It seems like to be Nuxx which was recycled by some machines (like vocoder or something, when i pitch that and put gain to max) , cos its really works with the original nuxx, the same bpm the same groove, same mood...:confused:

[big screen satellite]

spoke with DE today (via email)

what i discovered is that Superbadd will be coming out next after current single, Bouncer - which is already out...with some new mixes

its the first track on his Glastonbury Essential mix if you wanna hear it...

Darren remixed the Prodigy track from the Always Outnumbered album...'The Way It Is' (the one that samples Michael Jackson) - anyway this is not being released at all now...

Emerson played a version of it in a mix last year, but what he might do is strip the vocal and release it as H2O (his current release moniker - and record label cat number)

Darren also has some tracks left over from the P Diddy sessions and may well be vising those as well...

he has loads of stuff and is gonna relase a few 'non album release' before his album hits later in the year

thats about it for now...it was odd that he wasn't out playing on a Friday night though!!!

and you'd be right ;)

what with 4 emerson tracks...

its good to see he's still plugging Tim Deluxe - considering that refelctions is on another label - (Tim D used to be on Underwater)

[undarrenworld]

Tim is no longer on Underwater? Oh well he did bouncing anthems at the years in Underwater like a..
Choose something like a star
Thats excellent track, reminds me DE blue vinyl H20...

well i don;t know - his last single, reflections was not on the label, but then people like paul woolford has been elsewhere...maybe they are not exclusivly signed to the label

[undarrenworld]

Its just occured to me that the new Label boss at Underwater Records is one

Richard Smith...

is our mate Rick back working with his old mate Darren...???

mmmm...

[jose m]

just cause karl and him had a"nice" drink doesn't mean we should turn this into a ilovedaz-athon,he did split up the band!

[//\/\/]

,he did split up the band!

he left the band - the band continued without him, release an album "a hundred days off", toured, and are now touring again ahead of the release of another album....

[big screen satellite]

hey he's no Robbie Williams....

Underworld and Darren are both stronger now than ever before...;)

its just a strange coincidence no?, that the label boss at Underwater is a 'Rick Smith'...(not too confusing for Darren ;) )

i mean he didn't even go that far from Underworld with his label name...its only 3 letters different....in its entirety

what next.... guest vocals on the next Emerson single...from Harl Kyde?

[the mongoose]

so (without going to any effort to listen to any of this new stuff)...

Does he still spin cheesy pop/house crap? :(

Does he still spin cheesy pop/house crap? :(

when did he do that then?

he's always been at the forefront of decent music...

give the guy a chance and take some of his new material for a spin, after all he did have abig influence on early underworld...i think you'd be surprised if you think he plays cheesy pop..?!?!?

[//\/\/]

he did go through a bit of a trouser-swinging phase around the second underwater comp - but i think he's more solid these daisies


yeah; i like the fact that he's stayed "under"

yeah but he was never pop....ever...

ok so Tim Deluxe's anthem became pop, but it wasn't the basis of his sets...Emerson is just doing what he enjoys, playing decent house music...

[undarrenworld]

Underworld and Darren are both stronger now than ever before...;)


Yes i must absolutelly agree with that, for sure, its nice that someone other see this in the way as me.;)

Underwater & Emerson News:

next single on promo is:

Arthur Baker feat Tim Wheeler Glow H2O 072

features a new Darren Emerson Remix, plus some from Jagz Kooner (7 track CDR in total) - I will let you know what it's like when it arrives tomorrow...

[undarrenworld]

Great news!

Looking forward for this one...

[big screen satellite]

Emerson was the DJ on the phone last night on Tong, and they played,... Hard 4 Slow, wondered if anyone caught the show and what he said...??

can't really be arsed to listen to the feed on R1...

maybe its just a chat about the UW5 CD that is out soon...

i've heard / have the track so all i really wanna know is what DE said, if anything exciting

[joethelion]

whatever happened to his studio album???

I recently rediscovered an old issue of Mixmag with an Emerson interview in it... in the interview - he said that his album was coming out in the next couple of months

unfortunately - this magazine was from like a year ago! if not even longer.... I would even go as so far as to say that - it was due like this past November

Although, I can't check the exact dates, as I'm out of town right now

[big screen satellite]

emerson news - sort of....

Well it looks like Darren Emerson's Girlfriend Kate Thornton has been give the elbow from ITV1's the X-Factor... ok so this is todays Heat news, but still, anyway, in the article it said:

'When Heat's Reporter confronted her with the stories (of her leaving the show) in the autumn, the star turned on him and her boyfriend DJ Darren Emerson threatened to stamp on is tape recorder'.

LOL!!

good old Darren sticking up for his other half...

i would have liked to have reported on news of an album or something but hey... Heat's the only place you'll get Emerson news these days... (the Underwater 'News' website is 1 year out of date!!!!) - hey Emerson sort it out...

[BrotherLovesDub]

Emerson is shit. He plays cheesy dance music. Admit it Matt Val. His sets are the most obvious selection of absolute shite from his own sub-par label, popular cuts off other labels (i.e. shit Tong will play) and the odd classic track tossed in. Emerson was relevent from 1992-1994. After that he lost the plot. Seeing it as anything else will be taken as a "brown-nose" attempt to secure more acetates and the odd promo cdr.

You have been warned!


Emerson: COCK

fully agreed! cheesy / poor disco house... and it is poor! there are some people in that genre who are great, and he is def. not one of them

[King of Snake]

I don't really know much of Emerson's solo work but I have the Underwater mix 2 which is quite decent. Good mix for summer evenings :)

With respect BrotherLovesDub, Darren Emerson is one of the most influential djs and producers in the world. I recommend you to listen to his sets and solo production. The track called Superbadd is one of the best tracks around, so why you said what you said???
