GU036: Bogota Mixed By Darren Emerson
Global Underground

Darren Emerson’s latest foray into the Global Underground world is his third mix for the series, and it presents a typically robust pair of techy house mixes. In truth he doesn’t put a foot wrong here, especially in the second disc where Funk D’Void’s remix of Itamar Sagi’s ‘One Million Oaks’ makes a great kick-off. Later on Jamie McHugh supplies some sharper dancefloor moments, before Joris Voorn blends silk and steel with the excellent ‘Blank’. CD1 also punches at a solid weight, Emerson keeping a reasonably quick tempo as the music takes in Pete Heller, Kerri Chandler and a cracking finish from Marco Passarani, remixing Maja’s ‘If You Love Me Tonight’. Emerson’s bang on form here in what is probably his best for the series so far – and it would seem his work with Jamie McHugh might be moving towards an album before too long.
