TINY MAGNETIC PETS IN THE 2fm SESSION - MON, NOV 9

Paula Gilmer and Sean Quinn have made a stunning debut of wistful and etheral electro pop with avant garde experimentalism. There is a devil in tracks such as 'Tempelhof' and 'Spaced' that electronic music fans will love. And 'Control Me' hints at big room dancefloor remixes that could win them even more fans.

SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO LIVE AT PICNIC 09 - THURS, NOV 12

Back in the late '90s, James Ford and Jas Shaw were studying biology at and philosophy respectively at Manchester University, while crafting strange electronic music in the spare room of their shared house. Fellow student Simon Lord, a folk-influenced singer-songwriter, caught wind of the duo's sonic experiments, and along with bass player Alex MacNaughten they formed the band Simian, signed a major label deal and did quite well. In order to sate their love of electronic party music, James and Jas booked themselves DJ dates while touring with Simian and called themselves Simian Mobile Disco.

At around the same time, their record company decided to launch a competition for bedroom acts to remix the Simian track 'Never Be Alone'. A then unknown French production duo called Justice entered and, famously, didn't win. Nevertheless, the remix was picked up by DJs like Erol Alkan and became something of a party anthem. You still hear it played regularly in clubs now, four years after its initial release. It gave James and Jas the boost to strike out on their own as DJs, remixers and producers of thumping electronic party tunes. Simian Mobile Disco became a going concern.
