Biography:
Underworld are a British electronic group formed in 1986 in Romford, Essex, England, by Karl Hyde (vocals, guitar, production) and Rick Smith (keyboards, production). DJ Darren Price (keyboards, production) accompanied the two in live performances between 2005-2016. They are best known for their unique mix of techno, trance, dance, ambient and sometimes drum and bass, the vocal parts performed by Hyde as spoken-word streams of consciousness, and for their outstanding live shows.

In the Guardian newspaper February 24, 2006, Karl Hyde said: "We used to go out drinking
in Soho and I ended up in the Ship on Wardour Street. All the lyrics were written on that
night. A drunk sees the world in fragments and I wanted to recreate that. I was inspired
by Lou Reed's New York album and Sam Shepard's Motel Chronicles. I was into flash photography
as well, so I was walking around Soho with a notebook and camera, just observing things.
In those days I'd open the book whenever a musical idea inspired me. Rick [Smith] came up with
a rhythm and I started singing over it. The vocals were done in one take. When I lost my
place, I'd repeat the same line; that's why it goes, 'lager, lager, lager, lager.'
The first time we played it live, people raised their lager cans and I was horrified because
I was still deep into alcoholism. It was never meant to be a drinking anthem; it was a cry for
help. Now I don't mind. Why Born Slippy? It was a greyhound we won money on."
