Simian Mobile Disco

Recorded live in the California desert using only two modular synths. A tactile, organic shift away from the club toward hypnotic, geological techno.

It's what happens when two techno legends take their synths into the desert and just let them breathe.

A patient, hypnotic exploration of electronic textures that feels both ancient and futuristic.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The slow, tectonic shift of the bassline in Sun Dogs as it stretches over seven minutes of desert heat.
The way the sequencer in Dervish begins to stumble and flutter like a mechanical heart.
The fragile, bell-like tones of Casiopeia dissolving into the silence of the final track.
