In their words
Dublin in the 90s was hands down the best time I had. My Underwater parties at the Red Box were something else. The Irish crowd always brought a raw energy, so we even used those Red Box nights to test our Underworld shows at the start of a tour. That audience set the tone like nowhere else. I miss those days. Darren Emerson
