United KingdomWho Underworld is
Underworld are a British electronic music group formed in 1987 in Cardiff, Wales, and the principal collaborative project of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith. After briefly performing as a funk and synth-pop outfit, resulting in two albums between 1988 and 1989, Underworld gained prominence after pivoting to dance and techno, releasing albums including Dubnobasswithmyheadman (1994), Second Toughest in the Infants (1996) and Beaucoup Fish (1999), as well as singles "Born Slippy Nuxx" and "Dark & Long (Dark Train)". Known for their atmospheric, progressive compositions, Hyde's cryptic and stream of consciousness lyrics, and dynamic live performances, Underworld have influenced a wide range of artists, and have featured in soundtracks and scores for films and television.
