If you are feeling frisky this evening, head on over to Neumos and get your disco on with Simian Mobile Disco .  These two UK dj/producers are kings of the dancefloor and masters in the art of the remix.

A few days ago, I let you guys stream Simian Mobile Disco’s newest single, “Audacity Of Huge” featuring Yeasayer’s Chris Keating. Radar Maker sent over this official remix by one Naum Gabo . I am unfamiliar with Naum Gabo, but if the rest of his work is half as good as this remix, I will easily become a fan. The relies on heavy cowbell use that instantly reminds me of Soulwax. As good and interesting as this remix is, it has nothing on the original. Blame the lack of Chris Keating’s... Read Full Story

Simian Mobile Disco have a new album hitting stores August 17th. Temporary Pleasures , will feature the vocal abilities of Gruff Rhys, Jamie Lidell, Alexis Taylor, Telepathe, BETH DITTO, and of course, Chris Keating of Yeasayer.

Peaches - Talk To Me 7.8 out of 10 stars “Why Don’t You Talk To Me?” shrieks Peaches over a Simian Mobile Disco produced beat. The Canadian-native is notoriously known for embracing and popularizing buzz words like “hermaphrodite envy” and “fatherfucker” and for teaching us to “Fuck The Pain Away.” While the record doesn’t provide for a juicy installment to the Peaches vernacular, Nisker has effectively recorded my favorite new single of the Spring. With “Talk To Me,” Peaches ventures... Read Full Story
