James Ford and Jas Shaw. Two men. Three letters. SMD (Simian Mobile Disco). Electronic pioneers. DJs. Producers. They’ve been tearing up dance-floors around the world for the past few years.
Here is a live version of Aspic. It is also available via free download, so make sure you click on the down button.
The Fact Magazine has been publishing a series of mixes from famous artists and DJ’s, the most recent of which comes from Electronic superstars Simian Mobile Disco. If you haven’t heard of them, think of a slightly harder edged Chemical Brothers, and you’re almost there. Their rise to fame hasn’t been so much meteoric as steady, and their new album Temporary Pleasure [Spotify link] is bound to be big in 2010, building on the solid success of their previous effort ‘Attack Decay Sustain Release’. Fact has this to say about the mix:
Recorded live in Ireland a couple of weeks back, it’s a big, brash unwaveringly banging selection of lysergic acid house, mind-melting techno and neo-electro that intensity-wise makes the Chemical Brothers sound like Robson & Jerome.
You can see and hear some of their new tracks on their YouTube channel here.
