[B][COLOR=#ff08ce]There are so many great tracks out there at the moment, which one would you like to recommend as you’re favourite right now?[/COLOR] [/B]

I love Majik Johnson’s stuff right now, for me he can do no wrong. Also, good artists like Spiritcatcher, Jamie McHugh, Smith and Selway and Slam just to mention a few. There is also a lot of crap out there. I can be sifting through the download sites for ages just to find a few good tracks so when something lands in my inbox with their names on it I ge t excited because I know it will be good. At the moment I'm on the look out for some amazing tracks for a new Global Underground mix album that I’m putting out with them following on from the mixes I did from Uraguay and Singapore. I'll be making a lot of my own music for the album but those are the guys who will be top of my hit list of people to call up to find out what they're working on.

Re: Darren Emerson to do another Global Underground

Probably do Emerson's profile some good to. He seem's to of droped off the map in the last few years.

Re: Darren Emerson to do another Global Underground

Hey Adzey - is Felix's really the biggest selling - surely it can't be? thought Oakey sold hundreds of thousands of copies of New York?

#1027412Post 17 of 83

Re: Darren Emerson to do another Global Underground

Re: Darren Emerson to do another Global Underground

fuck he's still playing

no shit what was it about 10 years ago his first GU same out don't even remember what it was

#1027619Post 30 of 83

Re: Darren Emerson to do another Global Underground

you know, i always liked the "My Fellow Boppers" he can't be all that bad, can he?

#1027620Post 31 of 83

Re: Darren Emerson to do another Global Underground

i saw him a couple of years ago here in Lima and while he played he was drinking a bottle of vodka from the tip and his overall performance really sucked, shit mixes and everything. Cant believe his GU was so successful.

#1027659Post 32 of 83

Re: Darren Emerson to do another Global Underground

Just cracked out disc 1 of Uruguay again after reading this thread. Very good mix indeed. CD2 of that release was ok also. Singapore did nothing for me, but Uruguay was a good release - plus at the time it was a nice detachment from the usual progressive of that era.

#1027662Post 33 of 83

Re: Darren Emerson to do another Global Underground

Emerson's not that great live. I suppose that's from experience, I last caught him 18-months ago at Circus and was disappointed - although that can apply to a lot of DJ's these days !

But DE's GU's are decent, and a new ones certainly not to be sniffed at given some of the recent lame offerings.

#1027666Post 34 of 83

Re: Darren Emerson to do another Global Underground

lmao@gu

#1027668Post 35 of 83

Re: Darren Emerson to do another Global Underground

^ that's because there's no global 'underground' anymore. the concept is outdated now that technology and the internet has dramatically increased.

if they were called 'global overground', all of thier recent offerings would be much more acceptable.

#1027676Post 36 of 83

Re: Darren Emerson to do another Global Underground

with one or two execptions, i can't understand why people buy mix cds these days when better mixes are available for free online

Do you remember the last Essential Mix he did. I was cringing between the songs. Good thing that GU has their own guy who actually does the mixes digitally...glad they are not live, or they would have went out of business long ago.
