Simian Mobile Disco
21 October 2007 :: posted by TravisSimian Mobile Disco released a new video for “Hustler” — I’m not sure what was wrong with the original. Even a year old, it’s like ten times better. This one is a little too glitzy-Ibiza for my taste, but whatever… for the masses I’m sure.
Original
Looks like a Benny Benassi video..

Ya def agree that the original is waaayy better.

Oh my god. It sucks !

My friend showed me it the other day.
It officially has ruined both food and women for me.
On top of that, said friend has now developed an involuntary gagging action whenever I make/drink a protein shake.
Damn you, Simian. Damn you.

Funny I’d see Benny get mentioned, as I’ve always thought that what the Hustler video needed was what the Who’s Your Daddy video had: an extended XXX version to the full-length mix of the track. Imagine what those girls would end up doing (to each other) after another three and a half minutes. Hey, if my DJing career fairs, I can always just direct electro house videos.

I don’t know guys it’s not that bad. I do like the original more but it doesnt have the red girl…

The original is so much sexier, original and interesting than the new one. Damn shame.

Man that just looks like a Benny Benassi video clip trying to be an Aphex Twin clip. The original was definately better.

Wow, boring boring track.

Fucking lame!!! Not weird, funny or sexy.
Just horrible.

i think the irony is that the new video is trying to have lots of “sexy girls” to appeal to the masses, yet the girls in the first are actually fit as opposed to the “hed-kandi” generic types in the new one….oh well

hahaha i like this video, its different and i love that, yeah the other oen was good, but this one, its pretty weird and i love that, hope they release good mixes.

Nice food AND women!? How can you guys complain? Heh.

Throwing up Neon is the trend this year,set by Klaxons of course.
October 23rd, 2007 at 10.28 pm
wasn’t the klaxons 2 years ago? that’s how it feels though (hehe bitter)
Anyways, it seems simian is going for mainstream exclusively seeing this video… that’s ok, but not in my interest anymore then.

rogier, i agree with you on both points.
giovanni, the remixes are by armand van helden, kevin saunderson and shackleton.

it’s very Benny Benassi meets chris cunningham - but, like, way poorly executed.
tireddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
okay gurl? Shoot.

Why? oh why oh why?
October 27th, 2007 at 5.07 am
jesus, i need to comment again. that has zero class. i know they’re trying to be ironic and funny but really… really, it isn’t. why oh why.
October 27th, 2007 at 5.09 am
ok still watching it. gone all aphex…. haha.
October 27th, 2007 at 5.10 am
Wow, lots of inane, fatuous comments here. I thought it was a neat subversion of MTV Dance/Ibiza video cliches. It’s far more interesting than the original, it’s certainly quite a transgressive approach. The nod to Aphex at the end is great too.

i just turned anorexic; eww, thanks
crazy glitzy though, i see what u mean, i like the original way bettaa
