\"\"<\/a>Day #07 \u2013 <\/strong>a song that reminds you of certain event<\/strong> :<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Well not an event as such more like one of those moments. Was sitting in the crew bus on my way to my last flight as Cabin Crew for Emirates. I was heading out to Nairobi on a vicious turnaround and could only manage half of the duty. Exhaustion got the better side of my determination that day ! I had effectively burned out at 33,000 ft and the sight wasn\u2019t pretty. Had to lie down, was shivering like hell, was cold, uber-pale. And that song kept popping in my head for some reason\u2026 That sameday I ended up in costly hospital, after being debriefed for quite a lenghty period of time for someone who was clearly ill and needed swift treatment <\/strong>, instead of being taken straight to hospital\u2026 I will never forgive the 3 twats <\/strong>lined up in front of me like I was guilty of some national incident, like stealing the queen\u2019s jewels, firing questions at my face like I was in perfect condition to answer them\u2026 I just kept quiet, yes or no as my only answers\u2026

A London, UK production & remix team. Formed from the ashes of Simian in 2005 its members are James Ford and Jas Shaw. In addition to his work with Simian Mobile Disco, James Ford is a producer and has worked for bands such as the Arctic Monkeys, Peaches and Klaxons.<\/em><\/p>\n

Simian Mobile Disco was originally formed as a traveling DJ duet, playing on the side of their early four-piece band Simian. They ultimately released a number of low profile singles, such as \u201cThe Count\u201d on Kitsun\u00e9 Music, but arguably gained more fame for their remixes of artists such as Muse, Klaxons, The Go! Team, Air and others. In 2006, Kitsun\u00e9 released SMD\u2019s underground hit \u201cHustler\u201d, which features a vocal performance from New York singer Char Johnson.<\/em><\/p>\n

Musically, Simian Mobile Disco is known for heavily stylized tracks \u2014often with minimal instrumentation\u2014 that associate themselves with a particular hook (vocal or instrumental \u2014see mix of \u201cWhoo! Alright, Yeah\u2026Uh Huh\u201d by The Rapture), which is repeated throughout the track. There is often a breakdown (occasionally more \u2014see mix of \u201cMagick\u201d by Klaxons) comprising noise, drums and sometimes synths and vocals.<\/em><\/p>\n
