Underworld are a British electronic music group formed in 1987 in Cardiff, Wales[1] and the principal collaborative project of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith.
Trainspotting and breakthrough
The band’s 1996 album, Second Toughest in the Infants, was their second studio album with Emerson and achieved a degree of commercial success, due in part to its release coinciding with that of the film Trainspotting. The film featured “Dark & Long (Dark Train)”, as well as the band’s most commercially successful track to date, “Born Slippy Nuxx“, which was originally released only as a B-side of a single and does not appear on the Second Toughest album. The single and the album showed Underworld maturing as a trio, mixing elements of techno, house, drum and bass and experimental music. “Born Slippy .NUXX” is one of Underworld’s best-known tracks and is celebrated as one of the greatest dance tracks of the decade. The track has since sold over a million copies and appeared on countless compilations, mashups and remixes.
