UNDERWORLD BORN SLIPPY

This is DJ Axonal & his take on the amazing Underworld Born Slippy I hope you enjoy 1❤️.

Underworld released "Born Slippy .NUXX" in the UK on 1 May 1995 as the B-side to a different track, "Born Slippy." On the 1995 CD versions of the track, .NUXX was segued with another B-side, "Born Slippy .TELEMATIC". "Born Slippy .NUXX" was used in the film Trainspotting, released in February 1996 in the UK. The director, Danny Boyle, described it as the "heartbeat" of the film, capturing its "euphoric highs following intense lows." Underworld initially refused permission to use it in the film, as they disliked how their music was often used in negative portrayals of clubbing, but Boyle persuaded them after showing them a clip.

"Born Slippy .NUXX" was reissued as a single in the UK on 1 July 1996.Boosted by the Trainspotting soundtrack,[6] it reached number two on the UK singles chart.[5] Smith was shocked when BBC Radio 1 played the track on breakfast radio, and said: "I thought, music is moving, culture is moving, it's spreading. It's meaning things outside of just the context of on an amazing sound system in a club or on a PA system in a student hall. It was very nice!" The reissue was released in the United States in October 1996. For the 2017 film T2 Trainspotting, Smith created a new version with timestretched chords, "Slow Slippy".

Melody Maker named "Born Slippy .NUXX" the single of the year in December 1996, writing: "As a stomping club anthem, it whipped up a Shamanic, hedonistic frenzy — yet the lyrics, culminating in the "Lager, lager, lager, mega-mega-white thing" chant nailed everything about the Loaded, lads, birds 'n'booze culture of the mid-Nineties."[11] Music Week gave it five out of five in 1996, calling it "an anthem for a generation". The singer Boy George reviewed the "Nuxx Mix" for Select, calling it "brilliant" and writing: "Nice lyrics in a ranting, punky style. I like techno records that swoop." AllMusic wrote that it was "simply one of the best slices of electronica one will find. Musically austere in its emotional textures, the song becomes a nearly unstoppable force ... Dance music is rarely so artistic and enjoyable in the same instance." In 2017, Vice described "Born Slippy .NUXX" as one of the most iconic 1990s songs, writing that it "mixed sublime synths with a four-to-the-floor freakout, and represented everything that was going on; it was new".

In 2004, Mixmag readers voted "Born Slippy .NUXX" the fourth-best dance track, and in 2011 Slant Magazine named it the 95th-best single of the decade. In 2014, NME named it the 261st-greatest song. In 2010, Pitchfork named it the 31st-best track of the 1990s,[18] and in 2022 they named it the 20th-best.[19] In 2015, LA Weekly ranked it the sixth-best dance track in history. The Guardian named it the "most experimental and sonically extreme hit of the 90s", alongside the Chemical Brothers' 1996 single "Setting Sun", and among "the weirdest chart hits of all time". In 2024, the Guardian's chief music critic, Alexis Petridis, named "Born Slippy .NUXX" the third-best Underworld song. In 2022, Rolling Stone ranked it the 89th-greatest dance song, and in 2025 Billboard named it the eighth-best.

Smith said in 2017 "We’ve been playing 'Born Slippy' live for 20 years, and the reaction from the audience is so strong it's almost overwhelming. It's never got tiring to perform or play. It's what it triggers in people."

Divtec

🔊 Sonic architect | 🧠 Symbolic systems | 🌀 Drum & Bass without compromise

Divtec sculpts sound with surgical precision and philosophical intent—isolating vocals, tuning chaos, and mastering clarity across a spectrum of DNB subgenres. 

Every track is a glyph in a larger system: numerology, geometry, and paradox woven into audio and artwork. From resampled breaks to system-wide gain staging, Divtec balances raw energy with refined control.

This isn’t just music. It’s a coded language.

Welcome to the Multitude.
