Bomb the Bass' Tim Simenon is a sampladelic British hip-hop
producer who also co-produced a pair of massive international hits:
Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance" and Seal's "Crazy." Born in Brixton
of Malaysian and Scottish parentage, Simenon grew interested in
dance production after studying studio engineering and DJing at
London's Wag Club, a Mecca for fellow breakbeat mavens like
S-Express' Mark Moore and Coldcut's Jonathan More and Matt Black.
In 1987, Simenon constructed a pastiche of a DJ record titled "Beat
Dis" which incorporated samples from Public Enemy to Ennio
Morricone to classic television shows Dragnet and The Thunderbirds.
Packaged to resemble a white-label import from America, the track
became an underground hit and, after its reissue on Rhythm King, a
surprising number two smash on the British charts in early 1988.
(Coldcut's "Doctorin' the House" and S-Express' "Theme From
S-Express" both followed "Beat Dis" into the Top Ten.)
Later that year, Simenon followed with an LP (Into the Dragon)
featuring an expanded Bomb the Bass lineup: producer Jonathan Saul
Kane (who later recorded as Depth Charge) and vocalists Maureen
Walsh and Lauraine Macintosh. Two singles from the album,
"Megablast" and an inventive cover of the Burt Bacharach-Dionne
Warwick classic "Say a Little Prayer," hit the British Top Ten as
well. Also in 1988, Simenon co-produced two tracks for the debut of
Neneh Cherry, step-daughter of free jazz trumpeter Don Cherry. Both
singles, "Buffalo Stance" and "Manchild," became British Top Ten
hits. After completing work on his own studio, he also produced a
track for Adamski ("Killer") and mixed a single named "Crazy" for
an Adamski protΘgΘ, Seal.
With all the outside recording commissions, it took nearly three
years for Simenon to ready a follow-up to the first Bomb the Bass
LP. Unknown Territory finally dropped in 1991, led by another Top
Ten single, "Winter in July," and sporting a mid-tempo hip-hop
aesthetic that would only earn critical attention several years
later after being dubbed trip-hop. He also produced a range of
acts, from Eternal to Sinead O'Connor during the early '90s, and
more fruits of his collaborative nature arrived in 1995 with the
third Bomb the Bass album, Clear. The album featured vocal tracks
featuring O'Connor, Justin Warfield, Bernard Fowler, Bim Sherman,
and Leslie Winer, as well as the instrumental input of
Tackhead/On-U Sound compatriots Keith LeBlanc, Doug Wimbish, and
Skip McDonald. Simenon again turned to outside work during the late
'90s, remixing and producing for David Bowie, Depeche Mode, U2,
Gavin Friday, Curve, Booth & The Bad Angel, and Hardfloor. --AMG
