Simian Mobile Disco - Sample & Hold

After releasing the stunning debut album ‘Attack Decay Sustain Release’ to rave reviews last summer we’ve been eagerly waiting for new nuggets of golden goodness from SMD.

Hand picked by Jas and James, the remixes on the album come courtesy of some of the finest DJ’s and producers that SMD have encountered on their worldwide travels. Long time avid music followers, the boys saw the opportunity to make contact with some of the people they’d been fans of for a while, like DFA’s Shit Robot and Simon Baker - who’s version of Sleep Deprivation is now a regular feature in SMD’s DJ set.

Featuring friends, Beyond The Wizards Sleeve (Erol Alkan and Richard Norris) and French producer Joakim the boys got to finally hook up with mates they had long admired. Friend and club promoter Cosmo Vitelli, who used book them in Paris back when, in Jas’ words, they ‘couldn’t get arrested’ got to work his psychedelic disco magic on Hotdog, one of the finest cuts on the reworked LP.
