Darren Price, DJ and engineer for British electronic group Underworld, will be holding a solo show at Club Eden, Gangnam, Saturday.
The 41-year-old has traveled around the globe, playing gigs from Bosnia to Tasmania as well as the biggest festivals around the world.
Price has been a long-time DJ for Underworld's live performances. He was in Seoul last fall for the group's headlining gig at the dance festival Global Gathering 2009. The group, composed of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith, is known for their mix of techno, house and pop music.
Price started as a DJ in the late 1980s, after going to clubs and making mix tapes for his friends. In 1989, he began playing at raves and clubs around London, and soon enough, he was all over the country.
He started touring with Underworld as their concert DJ in 1994, and now he's a part of Underworld Live, playing his own music during their shows.
Price has done remixes for Underworld, such as ``Born Slippy,'' ``Push Upstairs,'' and ``Banstyle,'' as well as for other acts such as Depeche Mode, Electronic (New Order) and Super Furry Animals.
He has also worked on several soundtracks, teaming up with Japan's Hotei for the film ``KT'' and with Underworld on the Anthony Minghella film ``Breaking and Entering'' and Danny Boyle's ``Sunshine.'' Price has also released his own music, including the singles ``The Attic'' and ``Blueprints'' and his debut album ``Under the Flightpath.''
Tickets to Price's gig are 33,000 won. Club Eden is located on the first basement level of the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Call (02) 6447-0042. Visit www.eden-club.co.kr, ticket.auction.co.kr or ticket.interpark.com.
