hot chip, covers and remixes,


there's been some fun hot chip stuff surfacing over the past couple of weeks. again the BBC live lounge have given us an unorthodox gem, during their set hot chip played a cover of the "now" club track, wiley's "my rolex". despite it's grimey bass track, i actually quite like the original, get's me moving if i hear it out on the town. the new chip single (video below) is more introverted than "ready for the floor" but the mellow melodic strains that made up much of the first album make a welcome return. finally, a remix of that last single "ready for the floor", better than the original? i don't think so but decide for yourself.

this month's alter electro should be hitting in the next couple of days.
