Underworld have announced a limited 30th anniversary vinyl edition of their iconic track ‘Born Slippy (Nuxx)’, alongside three special shows at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on February 5th, 6th, and 7th, 2026. The performances are part of a celebratory series titled (nuxx) thirty.

The new vinyl edition features a matte black outer sleeve with silk black lettering and an inner bag with fresh artwork. A matching limited edition jacket designed by Rick Smith and Karl Hyde is also available via Underworld’s official website.

Originally released in 1995 as a B-side to the instrumental ‘Born Slippy’, the track gained international fame after being featured in the 1996 film Trainspotting. Its success propelled ‘Born Slippy (Nuxx)’ to No.2 on the UK singles chart, transforming it into one of electronic music’s most defining anthems.

Tickets for the Brixton shows are available here.
