UNDERWORLD’S Darren Emerson will DJ in the intimate surrounds of The Record Room at The Commercial on Saturday, August 31 for the first of a series of intimate club shows. Underworld, alongside Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Orbital, Aphex Twin and Future Sound of London, were leading artists in the ground-up emergence of electronic music across the English rave and club scene of the 1990s, and Emerson has been a formative influence within the genre since, with records like Born Slippy, Rez and Cowgirl all remaining classics.
Born Slippy raised Emerson and his Underworld partners Karl Hyde and Rick Smith to huge fame following its signature use in Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting, but tracks and albums including Rez, Cowgirl, dubnobasswithmyheadman, Second Toughest in the Infants and Beaucoup Fish made sure they stayed there.
Darren Emerson plays Limerick’s Record Room on Saturday August 31, the latest show in The Sevens series which has welcomed Justin Robertson, Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor and David Holmes to the city since the Spring. Club doors on the night are at 10pm, with support from Arveene.
