Los Angeles’s Mount Sims, AKA Matt Sims,
wraps together the quite disparate aspects of his life to create his
offerings to the glamour, sex, and drum machine-obsessed electro scene.

Preaching “technosexuality,” Mount Sims claims Giorgio Moroder, Depeche Mode,
and Curtis Mayfield as influences, but the artist’s penchant for public
nudity and fondness for the teachings of Eros indicate inspirations drawn
from less musical roots. Like New York’s Fischerspooner, Mount Sims plays gigs that are as much performance art as they are music shows. Mount Sims

is equally at
home droning lyrics over layers of loops and dense synth washes as he
is providing the soundtrack to a modern dance piece or avant-now
fashion show.
