A week from today and hundreds of thousands of people from the SYD will converge upon the 99th annual Big Day Out festival. As yet another treat for those who cannot keep the excitement of the festival that is BDO in their pants drunk funk is providing the goods. What is regarded to many as the best festival in Australia has not been given this title due to the variety of lineup it produces every year, but also due to the expression of culture that makes it an awesome Australian event. Although it is noted that a main feature of the day is the international acts that is brings to oz. One of those on this years roster and probably the best indie/electro cross-over duo that has graced the music scene to date is Simian Mobile Disco. The innovative methods that go into producing their tracks and pumping out sets is what has made James Ford and Jas Shaw two of the most respected names in the bizz. Recently the pair recorded the first Essential mix for BBC's Radio 1 of 2010 and in this they give us a new direction they are taking with their music this year. Be sure to catch them at BDO or at their sideshow as they have also added a great performance element to their electronique variety (tracklisting is below enjoy!).
