Memory Box with Darren Emerson

Friday October 09 - Continuing its regular sonic memoirs of electronic music, Memory Box returns to the Bussey building/CLF Art Cafe with house and techno innovator, Darren Emerson headlining with a specially crafted 'Influences' set.

Techno innovator - Underworld originator - Underwater and Detone label boss - Darren Emerson has remained at the forefront of electronica, techno and house across the last three decades for good reason. Solidly consistent productions, awe inspiring DJ performances and an unquenchable thirst for the new and interesting everywhere it can be found is an irresistible and intoxicating brew.

A true pioneer, Darren is one of the most influential figures in dance music, having collaborated with artists as diverse as Sasha, Depeche Mode, Bjork and The Chemical Brothers. Indeed from the age of 18 he was already on his way to creating platinum million selling albums and singles with Underworld followed by some of the most successful DJ mix compilations of all time with Global Underground, Cream, Underwater and more.

This is an influences set not to be missed.

Joining Darren on the night is one of the most exciting UK electronic artists of recent time, Saytek will bridge the gap between old and new with a special Memory Box "Live Hardware Show" of Acid, Detroit and Chicago inspired material. Saytek has steadily grown over the last few years to become one of the scene's most in-demand live acts. From playing the Space Ibiza closing party to fabric to rocking Tresor to his former residency with Zoo Project, he has garnered acclaim the world over. His live shows are truly live, featuring a myriad of synths, samplers, analog gear, FXs and controllers which ensure a much more engrossing performance than someone simply clicking on a laptop.

And weaving the whole night together with his acid house treats is Memory Box originator, Robin Ball.
