Underworld (band)
One of the most influencial and original electronic bands of the 90s, Underworld emerged from the ashes of the electropop group Freur in the early 80s, ventured briefly into electro-rock-funk in the late 80s, and found themselves producing brilliant electronic music since then.
Probably best known for their 1996 hit "Born Slippy", featured in the movie Trainspotting, Underworld is comprised of Karl Hyde, Rick Smith and, up until 2001, DJ Darren Emerson. The duo were also known by the names Lemon Interrupt and Stepin' Razor before joing with Darren for the first time, when they remixed such varying acts as Shakespeare Sister, St Etienne and Simply Red. This band could definitely be regarded as one of the pioneers of the modern electronic movement.
