Editorial Reviews

Best known for his vital role in Underworld, London mixman Darren Emerson demonstrates in this double-disc release a sense of levity alongside healthy swirls of trance-house hedonism. Spiced with dashes of soul, disco, and strong vocal turns, yet never lacking in the sort of tempo that requires a case of Red Bull to keep up with it, the whole set feels very much like a journey through Emerson's home music collection. He skillfully manages to bring some divergent strains together without missing (pardon the pun) a beat. Moving from the warm funkiness of Bert Drunk's "Groove Y'All" to the Harold Faltermeyer-esque echo of Saints & Sinners' "Pushin Too Hard" would be a stretch for some, but in Emerson's hands it simply makes for a logical progression. On the second disc, Emerson hits his Underworld-like cruise control and really takes off: Genetic Grooves' "Cloud 99" is pure blue sky coastal driving and Aaron Carl's "Dance Naked" is the surfing stop. And by the time Christian Smith's trance-soaked "Mojito" has been introduced to the mix, you realize that whether at home or in Uruguay, Darren Emerson's parties are an exercise in top-class fun. --Steffan Chirazi

Following their success with 2005's George Is On, house duo Deep Dish (known individually as Sharam and Dubfire) set out to divide and conquer with individual mixes for UK label Global Underground. Sharam strikes first--and hard--with Dubai, a two-disc set that is likely to generate comparisons with GU's other epic releases such as Sasha's Ibiza (GU13). Disc one is the slow-burner here: Spider and Legaz's dub of "Look Around" funks things up with a vocoder-drenched synth line that could have been pulled off a Jeff Beck album before giving way to the druggy, cascading echoes of 16 Bit Lolitas' "Passing Lights." From the perspective of the second disc, the moody expanse of the first begins to look a lot like an elaborate launch sequence, as the infectious "Timewarp" merges into Cedric Gervais's "Spirit in My Life," which sends the whole business into orbit. Sharam has undoubtedly reached a new high here, with programming so organic it sometimes seems like the track list may have just dropped out of the sky. For those awaiting the next big Global Underground release, your time has come. --Brent KallmerCustomer Reviews:

Tenaglia, the DJ's DJ, has always smashed down dance music's divisions by mixing whatever he pleases without losing a smidgeon of musical impact. So it's no surprise that Global Underground: London, a double CD mixed live in London isn't a fusty, dusty artifact full of novelty tracks. Forever passionate about the music as well as his mixing, Tenaglia's choices are inspired by what really works on the dance floor. Peace's Divison's "Tribal Funk" is wonderfully voracious, and ATFC's "In and Out of My Life" sits just on the right side of screaming-diva house. By concentrating on subbed-out electro house in all its sweeping orchestral glory, London rocks and soothes in equal measure. There are plenty of blueprints and uplifting twists, such as Minimal Funk IV's epic "Definition of House" and Vegas Soul's teasingly groove-oriented "Junk Funk," but that's not all. Tenaglia has split the CDs so each one leans toward either house or trance, each never to the detriment of the other. So for the most part, the second CD is a sexy, blissfully escapist soundtrack, and the first is super-funky house above all else. If you own other Tenaglia compilations, then you already know what his mixes sound like--taut bass lines, musical beats with a soulful edge, and plenty of extended, glorious breakdowns. If you don't, then this anthemic and occasionally ethereal mix will be both banging and astonishing. --Maxine KabuubiThis special limited edition comes packaged with a double-height jewel box with a gloss-laminated full-color wrap card and a 16-page color booklet called "Danny Tenaglia: London Travelogue."

Disc one works the tribal/deep house sound much more so than the second disc. Heavy on the percussion, this disc works a vibe that brings to mind drum circles under open stars just as much as it does circles of dancers under strobe lights. Overall, there's this ethereal yet sinister quality that gets built up over the course of the CD. Musically, it experiences its first (mind you, FIRST) peak with Onephatdeeva's "In and Out of My Life" --- but thematically, the mix takes it's first sharp upward turn at Coco Da Silva's "Suadade" with the first appearance of the "enchantment" sample.
Disc two continues the deep/tribal sound, but also has more trancey elements to it. The percussive elements riding over top of the underlying cadence of the kickdrum never quite cease, but the fade a bit as the music becomes a little less percussive and a little more melodic. Fortunately, Tenaglia's signature sound is maintained throughout -- that dark, sinister, yet extremely sexy undercurrent. Yes. Oh, yes.
So, do yourself a favor and pick this up. Then, do yourself the favor of reading the liner notes. Most excellent.
