Cover art of Underworld's King of Snake single from 1999

Coming off Underworld‘s 1999 Beaucoup Fish album, King of Snake is such a strong track that no remix could ever make it bad. The single spawned some sparkling remixes (and a quirky video), the pick of which for me is the Barking Mix.

I actually bought the boxed set a couple of years ago, which contains the King of Snake, Push Upstairs and Jumbo singles (Jedis Sugar Hit mix is pure genius). It’s a great collection, though not complete, as there are some weird omissions like Ashley Beedle‘s Save Our Discos Re-Edit. All said, it all still sounds refreshingly wicked ten years on and miles better than some of Underworld’s recent output.
