In a nameless city deluged by a continuous rain ... 

... we attempt to craft beauty from experimentation and happy accidents expressed through a contorted web of drones and swelling dynamics ...

"pick[ing] up the discarded flag of the ethereal movement, which peaked in the early nineties and is best epitomized by the work of the C’est la Mort and Hyperium labels" 
(Richard Allen, A Closer Listen)

Underworld are Rick Smith and Karl Hyde. Their peerless first album - dubnobasswithmyheadman - was released to universal acclaim in 1994. In the thirty years since that mould breaking debut, the band have established their reputation as one of the most groundbreaking and important electronic acts of all time, one that constantly pushes creative boundaries, twists genres and refuses to stay still. In those thirty years, their music has soundtracked approximately 100,000,000 nights out, and the mornings after. In the past year alone, Underworld have played live in front of over half a million people all across the globe.
