About Underworld

Underworld is a British electronic music group formed in 1987 in Cardiff, Wales. The group is primarily composed of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith. Initially, they performed as a funk and synth-pop band, releasing two albums between 1988 and 1989. The group gained prominence after shifting their focus to dance and techno music. Their notable albums include Dubnobasswithmyheadman (1994), Second Toughest in the Infants (1996), and Beaucoup Fish (1999). They are known for their atmospheric and progressive compositions, as well as Hyde's cryptic, stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Their live performances are characterized by their energy and dynamism. The group released singles such as 'Born Slippy Nuxx' and 'Dark & Long (Dark Train)'. Underworld has influenced a variety of artists and has contributed to soundtracks and scores for films and television.
