Underworld are making a pit stop in the U.S. this month and I got a chance to talk to Karl Hyde about Underworld's previous life, the 90s, our current music scene, and their other artistic talents.

I found some old mini discs of mine today, which took me by the hand & led me all the way down my musical memory lane. I was moved by what I found.

Now comes the second single from the album, “Beautiful Burnout”, which has become a firm live favourite, and w

I've been in a mood for kick-ass electronica all day, really. It happens sometimes. And even though I'm not the most knowledgeable about such things around here, I still know where to go to get my fix, and it's usually summed up in one word: Underworld. My favorite album by them is Second Toughest in the Infants, due largely in part to the first track, or three tracks strung together, or what...

In a year of dance-music crossover success stories, when 1990s touchstones like Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk have returned to the public eye, techno kingpins Underworld have gone comparatively unmentioned. It's been five years since the UK duo of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith released their last album, A Hundred Days Off, following the departure of Darren Emerson to pursue DJing full-time. "Croco...

Underworld has contracted some sort of "severe illness" that has forced the cancellation of the rest of their Europe tour. It sounds like their is quite the throat infection going around.
