Simian Mobile Disco brought their slow building, minimalist house jams to a sold out Mezzanine Saturday. Jas Shaw and James Ford were playing a new show that focused on their recently released EP A Form of Change, but the standout track of the night was an extended version of “Put Your Hands Together.”
The Simian Mobile Disco light show uses strobe lighting effectively, tracking the minimalist approach of the music until the well-crafted repetition peaks, then the lights release with the music. The show started in completely darkness and low light for the first five minutes until proper build up had people dancing and losing themselves.
Crowd favorite “Cruel Intentions” remixed it’s way way around until the record version revealed itself. The hour and a half set breezed by, and everyone in attendance was ready for more when it was over. Simian Mobile Disco curated a bass-drone dance party Saturday night that was infectious and fun.
JDH & Dave P sandwiched the Simian Mobile Disco show, getting the party started and closing it down.
