Simian ~~~~~

Before Simian Mobile Disco, whose recent single Cruel Intentions was remixed by house/ techno/ R&B producer DJ Pierre and dropped by Jody Wisternoff last December, there was Simian. Producing a seriously mixed bag of tunes that purveyed Electronic, Rock, Reggae, Hip Hop, Pop, Classical, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Latin, Folk, World, and Country, Simian's Never Be Alone (We Are Your Friends // 2002) is well known thanks to Justices' remix, which stepped up the dance quality, but retained the melodic, indie nu-disco style perpetrated by the English foursome.  With a growing interest in remixing, half of Simian (James Ford and Jas Shaw)  formed Simian Mobile Disco on the side under Kitsuné Music. They remind me of a greener, experimental version of the Beatles with a lot more variation.
