Tim Simenon is now better known as a record producer, having worked with Depeche Mode. He started off his music career in the late 1980s dj'ing at London's Wag Club. From his record collection and experience on a music production college course he used a basic music production set up to produce Beat Dis. Beat Dis was a cut and paste record fusing old school hip hop, funk including the Jimmy Castor Bunch and samples from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Thunderbirds soundtracks. The record reputedly cost 500GBP to make, in between Simenon's work as a shelf stacker in a supermarket and dj'ing. The record first appeared on the Mister-Ron imprint, a ruse designed to pretend that the record was a US import fresh out of New York. The record went straight into the UK charts at number two when released by Rhythm King records. Its Smiley artwork borrowed from the The Watchmen comic books influenced much of the imagery surrounding the 'acid house' and rave scene.

Simenon went on to follow up the single with three more singles taken from a hastily recorded album 'Into the Dragon'. Into the Dragon acknowledged the debt it owed to Japanese hip-hop label Major Force, New York producer Steinski, UK artists Massive Attack/ Wild Bunch and the 23Skidoo/Ronin collective.

Alongside production on the album Simenon also was part of Nation 12, along with Dennis Leahy a music veteran who had been in various electronic and new romantic bands since the early 1980s. Nation 12's releases enjoyed a measure of success in clubs and raves across the UK>

After the album, came remix and preduction work including super model Naomi Campbell's aborted pop career and a soundtrack for a fim produced by skateboarding legend Stacy Peralta.

In the early 1990s Simenon changed his sound to incorporate raw rock guitars pioneering trip hop on his two albums Unknown Territory and Clear. Unknown Territory was delayed when Pink Floyd refused to give allow a piece of 'Money' to be used on one of the albums tracks. Unknown Terrritory continued the motif of borrowing from popular culture with samples from both The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Death Race 2000 soundtracks. Clear was released on the Stoned Heights imprint of Island Records. It was heavily influenced by the writings of William Burroughs and featured a number of contributors including rapper Justin Warfield, singer Sinead O'Connor and novelist Will Self.

Simenon has remixed and produced a wide range of artists including Seal, rap act Consolidated and Depeche Mode. He now lives in Amsterdam and releases records under both the Bomb the Bass and Flow Creator monikers.
