Darren Emerson is one of the biggest names on the international scene. He came to prominence as one third of the iconic Underworld in the 1990s, breaking through with their seminal track Born Slippy.
Over the decades since his departure from the group, Emerson, now a record label boss, in-demand producer and festival-headlining DJ has come to be defined as a pioneer of global house and techno.
On May 16, Emerson will join the Spectrum team for a double headliner party with another giant of the scene.
Evil Eddie Richards is "Britain's godfather of house and techno" (Mixmag) and was one of the first DJs to champion house back in the mid 8Os.
After making his mark at some of the UK's most influential underground clubs such as Clink St, Heaven and the Hacienda, he went on to headline the legendary UK pay parties Sunrise, Energy and Helter Skelter.
Remix and production work led to the release of club classics; 'Acidman' in '88 which hit the UK Top 20, followed by other chart topping remixes of Ralphi Rosario, Orbital and The Shamen.
Eddie has been included in virtually every book, documentary and film about dance culture and is sought after all over the world for his flawless mix of deep bass driven techno with soulful & tough house.
