Simian Mobile Disco have paired up with fellow production duo Bicep for this new techno-house inspired single. 'Sacrifice' is a no nonsense 3am floor filler. Hard hitting-bass and staccato drums loops as it builds to the multiple and seamless drops. It's as if parts of the track are designed especially for you to warm up for, cool down from and go full throttle into, body thrusting dance moves only acceptable once it gets dark. Watch the descending Space Invader-style [...]
Exactly one month ago Thomas Schumacher released his track Every Little Piece with Caitlin Devlin. The track, which was released with a video to go with it, is the first track off of Schumacher's upcoming body of work Stand Up. For the official release the song has been given 3 remixes by the likes of Simian Mobile Disco , Hot Since 82 , and Joris Delacroix . Personally, Hot Since 822s version is the best, so check that and the original out below and for the other 2 you'll have to grab the EP [...]

Mere months removed from the release of their third studio album, Unpatterns , UK electronic duo Simian Mobile Disco will release a new four-track EP entitled A Form of Change on October 2nd via Wichita Recordings. Despite being recorded during the same sessions as the full-length, the EP promises slightly differing soundscapes, as evidenced by the title track available for streaming below. With its plethora of methodical build-ups and heavily distorted instrumentation, it's a seven-minute trek down the trippiest rabbit hole.

British Electro Tyrants SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO are at it again. After the riotous success of 20092s Temporary Pleasure , James Ford and Jas Shaw have returned with another delectable portion of electronica in their latest long-player, Unpatterns . Along with acts like Digitalism and Justice , SMD pioneered the resurgence of electro in the latter 002s. Through their rich back catalogue of original songs and remixes, SMD have become one of the most sought after groups in their genre. Always innovating and [...]

This just in... The Guardian is hosting an exclusive stream of Simian Mobile Disco's new album, Unpatterns , due out May 14 on Wichita Recordings. Unpatterns marks the third full-length from SMD. The Guardian describes the release as "straight up, play it on the banks of the Spree while necking some Augustiner Hells minimal techno." Expect some vocals though - "Seraphim" being a great example. For that reason, Unpatterns is a slight departure from the group's Delicacies series which was an education in driving, straightforward analogue techno. [...]

Tweet In October we apologetically announced: We don't talk enough about Simian Mobile Disco . We then proceeded to not talk about them for 6 months. We're nice like that. We're not all bad though. Seriously, the other day Tom helped an old lady across the road, admittedly it was just a distraction so Tim could nick her purse out her handbag, but all the same, it was nice hey? Anyway, there was only a fiver in there so no harm done, [...]
Been waiting for a new SMD track to drop for a while and it is smouldering. Maybe not off the charts sickness but still a damn fine groove that is begging for a classy remix. The single is out 9 April and the new album drops in May.

Simian Mobile Disco have released a video for their newest single Gizzard out now on their own label Delicasies . The single is available both digitally and on 123 vinyl. This three minute and forty second track tells a concise story similar to Sleep Deprivation while maintaining the Eurodance feel of all the tracks released on their second full album, Delicacies . The [...]
Tweet Little is known about Ronald Kaufman. He's from Los Angeles. He spent time in Florida only to move back to LA. He writes electronic pop songs under the name KAUF. He's pretty darn good. With a vibe reminiscent of TBWTTIHS faves, Simian Mobile Disco, KAUF's debut single Relocate is one that deserves a wider audience. I'm definitely loving the groove in this track especially the bass line. This one would find a nice home in the clubs in my opinion. Give it up for the mystery man and maybe a bit of publicity [...]
