Its a journey that began on 1st November 2018 when Underworld released the track “Another Silent Way” and set off with no map, no fixed destination and a simple mantra (‘Drift is the opposite of normal or usual practice; well do this until were dust’). Rick Smith and Karl Hydes aim was to create and publish music and film episodically for 52 weeks and see where the journey took them. Within a few weeks, the experiment found its own path, prompting the electronic pioneers to react to previous releases and create new works accordingly.

Over time, the duos innate curiosity opened up a unique space in which they could experiment, learn and explore new frontiers – together and with others (including Tomatos Simon Taylor, Australian improv-trance band The Necks, techno producer [Phase], Japanese noise band Melt-Banana, economics writer Aditya Chakrabortty and members of Black Country, New Road). During the 52 weeks, five self-contained episodes were released (respectively in November, January, March, May and August) – collectively, they form “DRIFT Series 1”. via Piccadilly UK
