It was in order to sate their love of electronic party music, that James and Jas booked themselves DJ dates while touring with their band Simian.They’d finish a gig and then run off to play electro records to small, sweaty rooms full of people who often seemed to be having lots more fun than the audiences at their gigs. As a pisstake, they 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. It gave James and Jas the boost to strike out on their own as DJs, remixers and producers. Simian Mobile Disco became a going concern.
