On Stage
Sunrise Arena
3D is the collaborative project of DJs Dave Seaman, Danny Howells & Darren Emerson, three esteemed flagbearers of the electronic music scene around the world for over 3 decades.
Their performance style is rooted in spontaneity and sonic curiosity, as each artist brings his own distinct touch to the stage, delivering only the best in deep house, progressive house & techno and everything in between in one massive B2B set. Still, to truly understand the wide-spanning scope of 3D, one need only dive into the accomplished history of each individual member.
Since the inception of the UK Rave movement, Dave Seaman has helped create and curate the future of electronic music. A former editor of Mixmag, he’s also the man behind era-defining labels Stress and Audio Therapy, in addition to his countless mix compilations for the Global Underground and Renaissance Masters series. He’s also collaborated with and remixed some of the world’s elite artists including Pet Shop Boys, David Bowie, New Order and Kylie. Dave’s latest venture, Selador Recordings continues to flourish, recently hosting label parties from Berlin to Ibiza and Australia to Amsterdam.
With over 25 years experience under his belt, Danny Howells has built a legacy for himself via his broad musical tastes and impeccable ear. Danny is regularly referred to as the DJ’s DJ, holding down fabled residencies at world-class venues like Ministry of Sound, Twilo, Arc, Renaissance, The End and Bedrock. He’s best known for his numerous acclaimed mix albums, which include multiple contributions to the Global Underground series and his three-part ‘Nocturnal Frequencies’ series for Obsessive, but most of all, for his genre-straddling live sets that defy standard dance music paradigms.
As one of the original founding members of legendary electronic act Underworld, Darren Emerson has remained a true innovator for more than 30 years. His pivotal Underworld classics, including ‘Dubnobasswithmyheadman’ and ‘Born Slippy’, still serve as the genre-defining releases of the ‘90s electronica boom. He’s since continued to push electronic music to new dimensions via his imprints, Underwater and Detone, remixes for Depeche Mode, Björk and The Chemical Brothers, to name but a few and his current side projects, collaborating with Gui Boratto for Kompakt Records and with Empire Of The Sun’s Nick Littlemore under their White Lamp alias.
Dave Seaman, Danny Howells, Darren Emerson stand at the vanguard of electronic music. 3D is the culmination of all their years combined into one rip-roaring sound.
