Mat Zo has written a track for the end credits of upcoming British sci-fi Robot Overlords.
Gillian Anderson and Sir Ben Kingsley star in the 2015 film, which is directed by Jon Wright and produced by Ian Flooks and Piers Tempest.
Zo (real name Matan Zohar) said of writing 'Robots Never Lie': "When I was approached to work on the project I was excited because I've wanted to work on a movie project for a long time.
"Before I saw the movie I didn't know what to expect, but it turned out to be really entertaining, so I knew it was going to be fun to work on."
He added: "I asked if I could have some samples and soundbites from the movie to get some ideas, and there was this great bit of speech with, 'Your heart is beating at 174 times per minute', so I knew it had to be 174 Bpm drum 'n' bass.

Nick Hamm hasn’t directed a feature film since the 2004 failure Godsend, but he’s back this month with Killing Bono. To most, the title would suggest some kind of black comedy that offers up a bit of revisionist history, but the movie isn’t even about the world’s biggest rock star. Instead, we hear the little-known (and, at its heart, quite sad) story of Neil McCormick, his school friend who almost made it to the top. Almost.
In this interview, you’ll hear the filmmaker talk about some advice the band gave him, what he thinks of the film’s somewhat unconventional lead, and what it was like to direct Pete Postlethwaite in his final role.
The Film Stage: When you were working on this film, how much consulting were you granted by U2 — if there was any?
Nick Hamm: Well, that’s kind of a big question.
