The Outer Edges tracks a peripheral route from north Essex to the Thames. Stopping off variously at allotments, boxing clubs, Saturday markets and working men’s clubs, the film celebrates the vibrant energy and attitudes of the people living and working within London’s invisible borders – the unmapped boundaries that Hyde crossed each day to record Edgeland, his first solo album.
The album Edgeland and film The Outer Edges, were created while Underworld partner Rick Smith was masterminding the final stages of their production for the soundtrack to the London 2012 Opening Ceremony. "The film is an extension of the journey that Edgeland takes, one inspired by the positive vibes spread by the Olympic volunteers." Hyde says.
