Simian Mobile Disco are an English production and Remix team. Formed from the ashes of Simian in 2005 they are comprised of members James Ford and James Anthony Shaw. HISTORY They have released a number of low profile singles, such as "The Count" on Kitsuné Music , but have arguably gained more fame for their remixes of artists such as Muse , Klaxons , The Go! Team , Air and others. In 2006, Kitsuné released SMD's underground hit "Hustler", which features a vocal performance from New York singer Char Johnson . Musically, Simian Mobile Disco are known for heavily stylised tracks - often with minimal instrumentation - that associate themselves with a particular Hook (vocal or instrumental - see mix of ''W.A.Y.U.H'' by The Rapture ), which is repeated throughout the track. There is often a breakdown (occasionally more - see mix of ''Magick'' by Klaxons ) comprising Noise , Drums and sometimes Synths and Vocals . There are rumours of a further collaboration with Arctic Monkeys whose second album James Ford produced in late 2006. Although rumours surfaced regarding the band signing with Interscope subsidiary "Kickball Records;" SMD's debut album, " Attack Decay Sustain Release " was released on June 18th 2007 on Wichita Recordings . Among the tracks included on it are "Hustler", "Tits and Acid", "I Believe", "Hot Dog" and lead single "It's the Beat", which features Ninja from UK indie band The Go! Team on vocals. The album contains five new tracks, and the European version includes a bonus disc. The album was preceded by two mix compilations in April and May, for the "Bugged Out" and "Go Commando" series respectively. SMD performed a live act for the first time in May in the UK to promote the album. RELEASES Albums
