Bomb The Bass - Beat Dis.

Released in 1987, the band's debut single was Beat Dis, with composition credited to Emilio Pasquel / Captain Black / DJ Kid 33.

Keenly disguised as a U.S. import on the Mister-Ron imprint, in an attempt to conjure the mystique of Bomb the Bass being an underground New York act, the single exceeded mere expectations by eventually reaching number two on the UK charts.

Its roaring success put the then unknown Simenon on the front cover of Britain's highly influential NME music newspaper - an act rendered all the more surprising by the papers preference up until then for indie bands. With Simenon recognised as a DJ first and foremost, rather than a musician, his expanding profile at the time would help kickstart the rise of DJ culture (as referenced in the NME front page headline of the time).
