Description
Teatime Dub Encounters is a collaborative EP by British electronic group Underworld and legendary punk icon Iggy Pop, released on July 27, 2018. The project emerged from spontaneous recording sessions at the Savoy Hotel in London, originally intended for the T2 Trainspotting soundtrack. Instead, it evolved into a standalone release, blending Underworld’s signature electronic sound with Iggy Pop’s raw, spoken-word delivery.
The EP features four tracks:
-
"Bells & Circles" – A pulsating techno-driven piece with Iggy’s sharp social commentary.
-
"Trapped" – A hypnotic, layered electronic groove.
-
"I'll See Big" – A more ambient, introspective track.
-
"Get Your Shirt" – A high-energy closer with driving beats and Iggy’s unmistakable presence.
Released by Caroline International, the EP was met with mixed-to-positive reviews, praised for its experimental nature and the chemistry between the artists. It debuted at #20 on the UK Albums Chart and reached #2 on the UK Vinyl Albums Chart, highlighting its appeal to collectors.
