Global Underground 015: Uruguay

The mix is a retrospective look at a set at the La Morocha club in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

A popular techno and deep house DJ for many years in his own right, Darren Emerson's global profile had gone stellar with the huge success of Underworld, particularly following their chart-bothering re-release of Born Slippy.

While making this mix out in Uruguay, on an afternoon stroll along the beach, Darren dropped the bombshell to GU's Andy that he was thinking of leaving the band.

Darren's departure was a big shock to his fans, but it made his debut GU mix one of his first public statements after the decision.

It's a bold and tasty showcase of Emerson the club DJ, taking GU into deeper techno territory than it had gone before, while still joining the dots in terms of progression and an expansive musical vision.
