Born Slippy .NUXX
Encyclopedia : B : BO : BOR : Born Slippy .NUXX
Born Slippy .NUXX is a 1996 single by the band Underworld.
It was preceded in January 1995 by the single Born Slippy, which featured the ".NUXX" mix as a b-side. The band has stated that the pounding, relentless rhythm and shouted lyrics of the track were originally meant "as a joke", and the single received little attention. The ".NUXX" mix was released as its own proper single in the wake of the 1996 Danny Boyle film Trainspotting, where it could be heard in the final scene. The movie stoked immense public interest in the previously little-known track, helping the single peak at Number 2 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1996.
The track has since appeared on countless compilations, mashup records, and remixes. Due to its immense popularity, it has been played at nearly every Underworld live performance since 1996.
The single was re-issued in 1999 to coincide with the release of their third album, Beaucoup Fish, and was newly remixed in 2003 to coincide with their anthology release, 1992-2002.
