FACT Mobile Disco

FACT continues their unbelievable podcast series with a live mix from Simian Mobile Disco.

I saw SMD live earlier this year at Metro in Chicago.  It's fun to hear them twist and distort their album through raw gear, and more fun to watch their light show, but I actually enjoyed their follwoing DJ set at Smartbar most.  Their taste is a consistent extension of their production mindset, valuing dark, evil, unmistakably machine music with unrelenting momentum, and this mix is no exception - check the absolutely bonkers Len Faki mix of Minneapolis-native Dustin Zahn's "Stranger (To Stability)" for an example.

MOBILE DISCO

YOU ARE FREAKING OUT, MAN

IT'S THE (SAME) BEAT

This Simian Mobile Disco remix thing is out of control. They keep re-releasing the same singles with new remixes (we could possibly call it Chromeo syndrome), and I would totally mind except they keep picking my favorite producers and DJs, to the point where it's getting ridiculous. A remix album sounds like too much, but check the people they lined up for it... from Shit Robot's MySpace:

Subject: simian mobile disco shit robot remix
