Spacemonkeyz are a musical group consisting of Darren Galea, Richie Stevens and Gavin Dodds. They came together when Galea created a dub remix of the Gorillaz' "Tomorrow Comes Today" ("Tomorrow Dub", which was released as a B-side on the "Tomorrow Comes Today" single), which Gorillaz founder Damon Albarn liked so much that he asked Galea to remix the whole album Gorillaz.[1] The resulting album, Laika Come Home, was released in July 2002. The album's first and only single "Lil' Dub Chefin'" reached #73 on the UK Singles Chart.[2]

They also wrote an original song with Taiwanese singer Stanley Huang, "Spacemonkeyz Theme", which appeared as a B-side on "Lil' Dub Chefin'", and did a remix of the Herbert Grönemeyer single "Mensch".[3] Darren Galea performed turntables as part of the Gorillaz live band on all of the 'Gorillaz' & 'Demon Days' Live dates between 2000 and 2006.
Like the Gorillaz, they are a virtual band (though not to the degree that Gorillaz are). According to the fictional Gorillaz biography Rise of the Ogre, the group is an actual team of monkeys used in space tests who had stolen the tracks from an unattended Kong Studios and remixed them without Gorillaz's permission.
Since the release of Laika Come Home the band has not released any new material. On the Hallelujah Monkeyz podcast Richie Stevens announced[when?] that new Spacemonkeyz material will be releasing soon.

Spacemonkeyz fue un grupo musical integrado por Darren Galea, Richie Stevens y Gavin Dodds. Ellos se reunieron cuando Galea creó un remix de dub de la canción de Gorillaz «Tomorrow Comes Today» («Tomorrow Dub» fue el lado B del sencillo de «Tomorrow Comes Today»), el creador de Gorillaz Damon Albarn le gustó mucho la idea de remezclar el álbum entero de Gorillaz, así que le preguntó a Galea si podía.[1] El resultado, el álbum Laika Come Home, que fue lanzado en 2002. El único sencillo del álbum «Lil' Dub Chefin'» alcanzó la posición #73 en el UK Singles Chart.[2]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
