Back To The Front: Simenon As Performer Again
Over the last few years, Simenon has slowly but surely returned to active duties: producing for Dot Allison, Bangkok based electro clash band Futon, as well as initial tracks with the Scottish band, Fangs.
More significantly, Simenon also re-activated Bomb the Bass, with the collective delivering the critically applauded Future Chaos album via !K7 Records in 2008. Written, recorded and produced in collaboration with Paul Conboy (formerly of A.P.E. and Cooper/Conboy), the nine-track album also contains contributions from Toob, Jon Spencer, Fujiya & Miyagi, and Mark Lanegan. Simenon also put a live version of the act together, built around himself on samples and live mixing, Conboy on live keyboards and vocals, plus two brothers as live DJ (Claudio) and visual scratch artist (Valerio).
Having wrapped the Future Chaos campaign after the third single, Black River (featuring Mark Lanegan on vocals), Simenon returned to the studio to begin work on the next Bomb the Bass album, due for release in late 2009.
