Default Groove Without a Doubt

NP: Underworld - "Mother Earth" b/w "The Hump" Tomato Records ‎– PLUM 2001 (1992)

My holiest of holy grails for many years which has still escaped my grasp. Of course, that's because this is EVERYONE's Underworld holy grail.

Only 500 copies were pressed, mostly for friends of the band at the time. The two mixes of "The Hump" were derived from "Eclipse" released as a single under the brief moniker, "Lemon Interupt" but these b-sides shine brightly as the most desirable and elusive of the band's early recordings.

B1 "The Hump" (Wild Beasts) is Karl's lyrical edit, and B2 "(Groove Without a Doubt)" is an extended instrumental downtempo house remix which completely reinvents the track. After a relentlessly grooving 4-minute intro the mix peels back all the action and an incredibly funky syncopated slap bassline emerges, doubling down on all the energy of the introduction.

Every time I come back to this single in my archive, I swear I've got to claim one of the real deal for my library.

One day.

Spoiler for Click it. It's big.:
