Border Country is the second collaboration with friend of Underworld and DRIFT community member Ø [Phase] and the final part of DRIFT Episode 4. Lithe and restless, it edges and darts through unmapped spaces into a place where grimy nocturnal electronics are driven hard by fizzing hi hats and multiple voices ricochet in from the peripheries.
“We’ve been performing Border Country live since November 2018 and though it had never been released we’ve seen how it instantly connects with audiences everywhere we play.” Karl
My relationship with Ashley a.k.a Ø [PHASE] began in Autumn 2017 when I first heard his Submerged Metropolitan release.. it’s not an exaggeration to say I immediately fell in love with his music. There was a sense of journey and mystery and magic to what I heard. Having worked with him for a little while we know he brings that same magic to the table every time, informed by his deep passion and understanding of the lineage of Techno and a thirst to learn and grow. A lovely talented man.” Rick
“I got a message from my label manager sometime in late 2017 titled ‘contact re Underworld’. Apparently the guys were keen to meet to “talk about some ideas”… ?!?! Within just a few weeks of first meeting we were in Rick’s studio drinking tea, talking together and working on ideas...Border Country came into being gradually, like a photograph coming softly into focus before sharpening into a crisp image, maturing into its final form.” Ashley Burchett aka Ø [Phase]

By the end of the DRIFT series, more new music and film will have been released by Underworld in its one-year duration than in the last fifteen years.
DRIFT concludes with the release of the new album DRIFT SONGS on 24th October 2019: www.underworldlive.com/drift-s...

ABOUT UNDERWORLD
Underworld are a true one-off - at home headlining the world’s biggest festivals and events, playing underground techno clubs and warehouses, sound-tracking theatre productions or taking over art galleries, disused shoe shops and Japanese department stores.
See more of Underworld's live experience here: • Underworld Live
Having cemented their place in the ’90s underground techno scene, the group’s definitive breakthrough came in 1996 when their timeless anthem ‘Born Slippy (Nuxx)’ became the soundtrack of a generation after it was featured in the film Trainspotting. The success of that single catapulted the band from the underground into the heart of the mainstream.
The following two decades saw them build on that success while never compromising; selling millions of albums, performing countless sold-out shows, providing scores to productions by Academy Award winning directors Anthony Minghella and Danny Boyle, exhibiting in galleries, and sound-tracking the Opening Ceremony to the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The critical and commercial success of the band’s Grammy nominated 2016 album ‘Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future’ saw them headline stages at Coachella, Glastonbury and Summer Sonic.

Return of the fathers of electonica.

[@SymmetryTwins]

It’s not just like you’re listening to a track. Underworld creates some kind of an audio MOVIE where you are in the very centre of. Pure masterpiece, not less.

[@UnderPr3ssuRe]

Underworld take you on a huge Journey 😎

[@sideswipe1261]

Fully agree when they put the pedal to the metal, it’s surreal, absorbing- so much, so many loops can be running simultaneously yet it’s not just a garble of noise: there’s an etheric calculation behind every sound and beat and how they’re tweaked: forwards, backwards, bothwards and it’s never *cluttered*. 100 sounds can be happening (or 1), but brilliant. The same loop can run 12 minutes without ever changing and for me that pulls me in. Rabbit hole. :)

[@jasonandfiona]

I watch this video like im looking at a 3d magic eye poster. Its a 3 dimensional journey of underworld bliss..

[@victorlima8532]

Best Underworld tune in ages

[@djoniriaable]

Now I have listened the song a hundred of times aproximately .... sometimes I feel that this tune are probably the best that Underworld produces in all her career.If not,it's in the Top 5,that's sure.

[@Modwerks]

Xavier Izquierdo 🙏

[@dunkhooper]

Totally agree

[@hohenja]

Yes, this is a generation of trance, techno, and otherwise. Wistful sound-memory balanced between vocals and cross cut with gyroscopic beats of 90’s house and Trance makes Underworld a style/genre of its own.

[@romanhartman160]

this beat is monster! Volume Up! :)

[@syddiesel8420]

Out of this world! awesomeness magnificent wonderful beautiful smashing sound with a mega baseline love it by Underworld thanks for sharing this gem 🎶🎶

[@01structured]

definition of an epic track

[@zonesquestiloveunderworld]

EPIC. That old-school Underworld sound is back, mingled with their recent creativity and experimentation to create psychedelic tech-trance perfection. Awesome. Reminds me of something that Kopfuss Resonator might have done.

[@RoniPhD]

Thank you underworld

[@desbain914]

Always and Forever!

More genius from the master builders, but let us also acknowledge the huge input on the track by Ashley Burchett. Give his stuff a whirl and you will recognise the structures used here. Hats off to all the three of you! Cannot wait to hear this live, gonna be goosebumps time again!

[@Modwerks]

[@DodderingOldMan]

Oh, is Ashley Burchett Ø? Thanks to these collabs with Underworld I've been listening to a lot of his stuff. And yeah, in retrospect I can see so much of his influence in the tracks he worked on. Which is great... this track in particular is just brilliant.

[@Fraymond711]

what i love about this band is that they have never lost their touch over the decades ... still true to the original sound yet able to innovate and write the books for other to come ... ! if anybody would ask me who started techno and the genre whitout esitation i'd say underworld any given day ... ! love you guys thx for your work and energy !

This is a incredible flow state Im was listen Drift in Spotify for years only now I see that is a proyect; love this Thanks

[@DodderingOldMan]

It's like Underworld are able to reach into my brain, figure out exactly what sounds are required to get my synapses firing at optimum levels, and then go back to their studio to create exactly those sounds. EDIT: I think I also need to give a lot of credit here to Ø [Phase]. After listening to a lot of his stuff, there seems to be quite a bit of his influence in this track.

[@Modwerks]

🙏

[@davee4508]

5:48 .....Goosebumps Got to say the ending if listening on headphones,the sound expands to if outside on normal speakers...Strange but outstanding! Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream Of Love has always been my favourite,but now this is a game changer! 10/10

@@UnderworldLiveTV Since you filmed some of the Opera House show - please tell me you're gonna release the whole thing?! :) Thank you again for coming. I travelled from Perth to see the show (the last night) and it was 110% worth it. Brilliant stuff. Audio and visual. Love the fact that everyone stood up and danced the whole time. You turned the Opera House into a rave! :)

[@pollyannakarina]

@@alfredgorman1723 There is a venue in the North East of England called Sage Gateshead and l have been to many gigs there. It's fully seated, a purpose built music venue and tends to be quite "polite" in it's audience involvement. Underworld played it on their 20th Anniversary of Dubnobass tour back in 2014 and l can honestly say l've never seen the Sage go off like that. Just like your SOH experience, the whole place was dancing & cheering the whole time. They are more than a bit "special", Underworld. Magicians. I'm off to see them at Wembley in December for the umpteenth time and am very much looking forward to hearing all this great new music, particularly Border Country and Listen To Their No. They are the gift that keeps on giving!
