Underworld

Underworld is a British electronic act whose concert at West Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh brings its dance-oriented catalogue to a city-centre garden in the Scottish capital.

Underworld is a British electronic act formed in the 1980s around vocalist and guitarist Karl Hyde and keyboardist and programmer Rick Smith. Their album dubnobasswithmyheadman (1994) is among their best-known records, and the track Born Slippy.NUXX, from the Trainspotting soundtrack in 1996, is their most widely heard song. Later albums include Barbara Barbara, We Face a Shining Future (2010).

Their music draws on electronic dance forms, combining synthesiser textures and programmed beats with Hyde's sung and spoken vocals.

West Princes Street Gardens is a public garden in the centre of Edinburgh, lying beneath the castle, and it hosts concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners who follow electronic music and the group's catalogue.
