Drift is the 2018–2019 music-and-video experiment by the British electronic music group Underworld,[1][2] with consecutive tracks and music videos released online on a weekly basis, between November 2018 and October 2019.[3] Individual new tracks were made available through the band's official website as time-limited free downloads, along with accompanying videos published on YouTube — followed by collective digital EPs.
From 1 November 2018, throughout the first year of Drift, 38 new tracks were released within five Episodes, an additional soundtrack album Manchester Street Poem, as well as 20 archival tracks and mixes.[4] It is the band's second project distributed digitally, after the 2005–2006 series Riverrun.
On 1 November 2019, an album Drift Series 1, compiling all EPs and additional 11 new tracks, was released as a 7-CD, 1 Blu-ray box set, as well as digitally, along with a single-disc Drift Series 1 Sampler Edition. In September 2020, Drift Series 1 was re-released, including an additional eighth CD with a live performance.[5]
