Biografie
Karl Hyde (born May 10, 1957 in Worcester), is the frontman of the highly successful house music and electronica band Underworld.[1] He is known for his distinct voice, which has become famous in Ibiza tracks and many other clubs globally.
Underworld
Hyde is well known for providing vocals in every song by Underworld. He founded the group along with Rick Smith. Karl had a pop band, the Screen Gemz and badgered Rick Smith into joining whilst at Cardiff art college.
In 1983 they recorded two albums for CBS Records International with a proto-electroclash, new romantic band, whose name was a graphic squiggle, which was soon given a pronunciation, Freur.
Freur disbanded in 1986. In 1987 members of Freur created the band Underworld and tried a more guitar-orientated funky electropop sound on two albums for Sire Records before disbanding in 1990. (The Underworld of that period is now often referred to as "Underworld Mk1").
Hyde and Smith are the longest serving members of the musical project and are still together performing today. He is a self confessed alcoholic[citation needed], and has been the writer for many of their songs.
He states that the lyrics in the song Born Slippy .NUXX were like that of a drunk, as he was when he was writing the high selling single.
Solo career
In January 2013, he announced release date for his debut solo album.[2] It was called Edgeland and it was released worldwide on 22 April that year.[3] It was co-produced by Leo Abrahams.[4]
In 2014, he worked with English musician and record producer Brian Eno on their collaboration album Someday World.[5] First single from this album "The Satellites" was released in March 2014.[6]
