about

There’s a certain kind of techno that only Underworld can do - a mesmerising murmur of a bass groove, an electronic riff that cuts through like a crack of light and a vocal that serves to spin you further into a hypnotic state. Schiphol Test is each of those things, in perfect harmony, and a whole lot more. Push. Push. Push. Push. Push. Push. Push. Push. Moving On.

‘Rick started this on his iPad, waiting for a flight out of Schiphol airport. The second I heard those first opening bars of bass line and chords and groove I became fixated with finding a response with words that was as equally stripped and succulent’ - Karl.

The rhythm of kicking

Got to get away!

One, One, One,

Whose words are these?
Written on walls
Whose time is coming?
Who fans the flames?
Who names the names?
Who points the finger?

In the age of diplomacy
In the temple of time
The sleeping bag of doorways thrives

And the charm of a crime that wouldn’t hurt anyone is appealing
Tell me I’m not crazy

Tell me I’m not crazy

Sweet thrills
Sweet thrills
Sweet thrills
Sweet thrills
Sweet thrills
Sweet thrills
Sweet thrills

Three
by The Necks

THREE is fantastic! ‘Bloom’ is pure, unpredictable, relentless sonic nectar. The Necks are an animal machine, painters of landscapes that make my head feel good. - (Karl Hyde - Underworld) Underworld
