Underworld — Boiler Room London, 2025

48

Why this recording

On 2 August 2025, Underworld played outdoors in Burgess Park, south London, for their Boiler Room debut; the video went up on 28 August. Its 1 h 20 running time matches the set length logged on setlist.fm, so the show is presented in full. It opens with Dark & Long (Dark Train), slips in the duo's own remix of Brutalismus 3000's alleswirdgut, then revisits Cowgirl, King of Snake and Pearl's Girl before closing on Born Slippy .NUXX.

Filmed live set by Underworld for Boiler Room, captured in London in 2025: the long-awaited debut of the UK rave legends on the platform. Few electronic music artists carry the weight of history in the same way. Emerging from late-1980s synthpop before diving into the British rave scene, the duo of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith reimagined the tangibility of techno and house, with a legacy that endures from Dubnobasswithmyheadman to Born Slippy .NUXX. This live capture conveys the intensity of a concert filmed right among the crowd, between hypnotic pads, rave pulses and Karl Hyde’s chanted vocals. Far from a simple DJ set, Underworld deliver a live performance where machines, voice and improvisation answer each other in the heat of a London club. A valuable document for understanding why the duo remains, more than thirty years after their debut, an absolute reference of live electronic music. An electro live concert to experience in full Boiler Room immersion.
