Classic productions like Central Park, Fiebre, Make It, La Noche (alongside Coca & Villa) and Freshness have placed the Simon & Shaker sound on the worlds best sound systems. Toward the end of 2004 'Dual' was released, their first mix compilation. The tracklisting highlighted the new house sound which Simon & Shaker developed at a very special moment in Madrid. A new concept which was see by many as an innovation which not only crossed into the specialist dance market but was well received by the general music buyer as well. 'Dual: The Definitive Spanish Underground Compilation' was a huge success for this duo.
