U.K. based DJ and Producer duo Simian Mobile Disco are continuing the evolution of their sound. Their latest album, Whorl, is a live recording of the pair performing all new songs from the infamous Joshua Tree live music venue Pappy & Harriet’s. The two discuss making the album, finding new ways to explore their sound, and other boundary-pushing artists that inspire them. Plus, they share a new mix of live music from the album recorded during their recent tour.
