Global Underground 015: Uruguay

Global Underground 015: Darren Emerson, Uruguay is a DJ mix album in the Global Underground series, compiled and mixed by Darren Emerson. The mix is a retrospective look at a set at the La Morocha club in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

A popular techno and deep house DJ for many years in his own right, Darren Emerson’s global profile had gone stellar with the huge success of Underworld, particularly following their chart-bothering re-release of ‘Born Slippy’. While making this mix out in Uruguay, on an afternoon stroll along the beach, Darren dropped the bombshell to GU's Andy that he was thinking of leaving the band. Andy tried to persuade him otherwise - at least until the album was out(!) - but his mind was made up and the story was soon to break in the dance media anyway. Darren's departure was a big shock to his fans, but it made his debut GU mix one of his first public statements after the decision. As such, it became symbolic of his solo intent.

It’s a bold and tasty showcase of Emerson the club DJ, taking GU into deeper techno territory than it had gone before, while still joining the dots in terms of progression and an expansive musical vision. The prog purists of the day, who were still in raptures about the recent Digweed and Sasha GU mixes were a little phased by this one, however Darren holds his own superbly over both CDs, introducing the likes of Speedy J and Dave Clarke to new ears.

Global (TV series)

Global, styled also as Global with Matthew Amroliwala (as of 8 September 2014), is a news programme on BBC World News that premiered on 14 January 2013 with the relaunch of the channel from Broadcasting House. The programme was hosted initially by Jon Sopel who joined the channel from the domestic BBC News channel. Sopel regularly presented the programme on location around the world and in this case it is broadcast in part on the BBC News channel. Sopel was promoted to North America Editor in 2014, and was succeeded in September by Matthew Amroliwala.

Global replaced The Hub, which originally was an edition of World News Today and served as a news 'nerve centre' for South Asia and the Middle East, providing both the headlines, and detailed analysis of the global news agenda.

Schedule

Global is aired from 15:00–16:30 GMT (16:00–17:30 BST in summer time), Monday to Friday on BBC World News, usually followed by an edition of World Business Report.

Presenters

When Jon Sopel presented, the title sequence ends by stating 'Global with Jon Sopel'. However, when he does not, as he is often on assignment, the titles only show 'Global', regardless of the replacement presenter. This only happens if he isn't reporting from a location on a topic covered in the show.

Suzhou RunHua Global Center

The Suzhou RunHua Global Center (Chinese: 苏州盛高环球大厦), formerly the SPG Global Towers, are a pair of skyscrapers in Suzhou, China. Groundbreaking on the buildings began in 2007, and they were completed in 2010. Building A is 282 m (925 ft) to the architectural tip with 49 floors, and is used mostly for office space, while tower B is 240 m (790 ft) to the architectural tip with 54 floors, and is residential.

The towers bear a striking resemblance to the One Liberty Place skyscraper complex in Philadelphia, United States.
