Don't believe the hype! Gaspard Augé & Xavier de Rosnay are not the new Thomas Bangalter & Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo.

The new Justice song "D.A.N.C.E." can become big and classic like "Around The World", but their debut album (out June 11th on Ed Banger Records) is nowhere near "Homework". (The unofficial video is even better than the final version.)


Jens Moelle & Ismail Tuefekci are Digitalism and German, so they cannot be the new Daft Punk. The single "Pogo" will be out May 28th and the debut album "Idealism" will drop June 11th on Kitsuné.


James Ellis Ford & James Anthony Shaw are Simian Mobile Disco (and linked to Justice). Their debut album, "Attack Decay Sustain Release" will be released on June 18th 2007 on Wichita Recordings.


P.S. Of course the new albums of Justice, Digitalism and Simian Mobile Disco have already been leaked.

Everyday I'm Hustlin'

"We Are Your Friends" beat out Kanye West's big-budget action video at last year's MTV Europe Music Awards. Pretty strange if you bear in mind that Simian's collaboration with Justice dates back to July 2004 when it was released on Gigolo Records!

2006 gave us Simian Mobile Disco's "Hustler", "Tits & Acid" and "I Believe" (on the Kitsune Maison Compilation 3). Saam Farahmand made the "Hustler" video. It's simple, but effective. Or to put it in his own words: "Basically my sister seems to know every horny scenester in London and she managed to collect these girls together quite easily. They're called Girl Core, but my sister calls them the international party crew. They're basically a bunch of Spanish, French and Colombian girls who tour European festivals, take insane amounts of drugs, get off with each other and sprinkle glitter over scared indie kids. We had literally 2 hours to shoot this. The girls got drunk, coked and loved up off their faces." Seeing is believing!

World domination will be completed in 2007 with the release of their debut album on Wichita Recordings. Which will contain the songs mentioned above, and their newest killer tune "It's The Beat" featuring guest star Ninja from UK indie band The Go! Team on vocals.
