Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats? is an UNKLE soundscape DJ mix, originally recorded for Radio Ape in Japan, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Beats was the first in a line of a series of UNKLESounds mixes. Due to its huge success (reaching over £100 on eBay) it was bootlegged and can now be found in most record stores[citation needed]. The simple way to tell the difference between the two is that the bootleg has a barcode.

The name references the novel, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, by Sci Fi author Philip K. Dick. The mix was later released as a cut down and re-edited 2CD mix entitled Big Brother is Watching You, which was broadcast on the Essential Mix at UK radio station Radio 1.

  • Samples from the Unkle Main Title Theme from Psyence Fiction appears heavily throughout the mix on each CD.
  • Throughout the album various messages are read by the PlainTalk voice synthesizer (The same synthesizer used in the song Fitter Happier by Radiohead). These messages mostly address the listener that he is listening to a DJ mix by Unkle, and that it was made by Lavelle and File. At the end of CD Gi however, you hear "Unkle Entertainment. Thanks for listening".
