Simian Mobile Disco have spent 2010 creating a series of techno releases on their new imprint Delicacies. Additionally Jas Shaw and James Ford have been accompanying these 12”s by curating their Delicatessen parties around the UK.
SMD are now set to release the complete Delicacies series on one album. You may have already noticed that each title bears the name of a bizarre and exotic delicacy discovered by James and Jas whilst touring around the World. Amalgamating hard edged analogue beat structures as well as some of the more mellow, melodic aspects of techno, Delicacies reiterates the sheer excellent musical eccentricity that Simian Mobile Disco continue to create. The two disc album also features a bonus mixed version recorded live in the studio. Delicacies is a unique offering from one of the most exciting acts in electronic music.
On November the 26th, SMD will play a very special “Records & Machines” set in a secret London warehouse space, involving an 808, effects, a synth or two and CDJs, supported by JDH and Dave P (Fixed NYC) and Nadia Ksaiba.
Then on December 3rd Simian Mobile Disco take over the Warehouse Project in Manchester with a line-up that includes Hercules & Love Affair, Tensnake, Andrew Weatherall vs Ivan Smagghe, Aeroplane, Greg Lord, Mark E and of course a dj set from Simian Mobile Disco themselves.
