  • Longtime electronic icon Darren Emerson is ready to launch a new record label, called Detone. With a career spanning almost 20 years, Emerson is one of electronic music's most influential figures. He became a member of Underworld at the age of 18, and stayed with the group until 2000, helping produce massive singles like "Rez," "Cowgirl" and "Born Slippy." He's DJ'd solo ever since, mixing several compilations for Global Underground as well as a few for his old label, Underwater Records. Detone will focus exclusively on club singles by Emerson and like-minded producers. For the first single, Gracelands, Emerson has teamed up with house producer Jamie McHugh, and has secured remixes by Steve Cobby and Christian Smith. Tracklist 01.
