UNKLE Sounds
Released2005

Edit Music For A Film originated as a mix in 2004 for Stella Artois After Dark 2004 created by James Lavelle and Rich File as UNKLE Sounds. In 2005 they released The Director's Cut which was released on two CDs.

In November 2020 James Lavelle uploaded the mix to Mixcloud with the following description:

We saw the mix as a kind of sequel to Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats, and was the last mix myself and Rich were to create on this scale. Originally given out as a free CD at the festival and bootlegged numerous times, I wanted to share it with you…[1]

At the time, Stella Artois were very involved in sponsoring film and cinema in the UK, and UNKLE had worked on films like Sexy Beast and The Beach. I suggested the idea of doing an exclusive UNKLE Sounds mix which myself and partner in crime at the time Richard File would create and perform at the prestigious arts venue in London’s Pall Mall. We would also collaborate with The Light Surgeons, where they would create and perform live bespoke
