DJ Underworld: Rising from the Underworld to Global Fame
DJ Underworld, born Jack Thompson, has become one of the biggest names in electronic dance music (EDM). From playing small gigs in Miami to headlining festivals worldwide, he has amassed a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim for his unique blend of house, techno, and trance music.
Thompson’s passion for music started at a young age when his parents owned a record store in the suburbs of Chicago. He grew up listening to vinyls and learning about different genres of music. At age 12, he got his first set of turntables and started practicing mixing on his own.
After moving to Miami for college, Thompson began playing at small gigs on the side of his studies. He landed a residency at a popular South Beach club, and his career began to take off. Eventually, he released his breakout hit “Midnight Madness,” which became an instant classic and propelled him to global fame.
Over the past few years, DJ Underworld has solidified his place as one of the top DJs in the world, performing at major festivals such as EDC Las Vegas and Ultra Music Festival. He collaborates with other EDM artists such as Kaskade and Dillon Francis, and his music continues to evolve, showcasing his growth as an artist.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the music industry, but DJ Underworld did not let it stop him. He focused on producing new music in his home studio and released his fourth studio album, “Rise from the Underworld,” to critical acclaim.
Despite his success, Thompson remains humble and grounded. He is dedicated to his craft and spends countless hours perfecting his sound.
Offstage, DJ Underworld is a private person. He keeps his personal life out of the public eye and prefers to let his music speak for itself. However, in an interview with People Magazine, he reveals that his family and friends have been his biggest supporters throughout his career. “They believed in me from the beginning, and I wouldn’t be here without them,” he says.
As for the future, DJ Underworld plans to continue pushing the boundaries of EDM and exploring new sounds and styles. His commitment to his art and his willingness to take risks are what sets him apart from others in the industry.
