Simian Mobile Disco are an English dance production and remix team. Formed from the ashes of Simian in 2005, Simian Mobile Disco comprises James Ellis Ford and James Anthony Shaw. They have released a number of low profile singles, such as "The Count" on Kitsune Records
In the late ‘90s, James Ford and Jas Shaw were studying biology at and philosophy respectively at Manchester University, while making 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.
In order to sate their love of electronic party music, James and Jas booked some DJ dates while touring with Simian, calling themselves Simian Mobile Disco.
