With a debut album looming that promises set Ibiza surfing on a wave of funky backbeats, punchy drum N’ Bass hits and scattered by lively vocals jabs. Simian Mobile Disco (aka Jas Shaw & James Ford) choose to cram all this into ‘It’s The Beat’ and the radio edit promotes the vocals that utilises Salt N’ Peppa style femme, streetwise provocation to draw your attention to the song title. This seedy singing element straddles the quirky, digital saddle early doors and keeps on it right the way through. The album version is going to find favour in come down hour at clubs (especially Fabric where they have a residency), as the beats build slowly and the vocals are sparser, but this accentuates their impact. Simian Mobile Disco is sure to be contenders for the race to produce the club sound of the summer.
