Hot, hotter, Hot Chip! The UK’s smartest band in electronic dance music drop their postmodern pop live on stage at Sónar 2012.
Hailing from London, _(artist-name)Hot Chip_ entered the picture with the release of their 2000 debut _(album-title)Mexico_. Dubbed as the UK’s “most inventive band”, _(artist-name)Joe Goddard_, _(artist-name)Alexis Taylor_ and their bandmates construct their playful pop from excursions into sun-dapped folk, skewed hip hop, dreamy disco and mad, slow techno. Like an update to their kindred spirits _(artist-name)New Order_ and as unique as them, they have built a place in music over the course of their career. With releases on Moshi Moshi, DFA, EMI and Domino, their label history is as varied as their output, where a keen eye for what works on the dancefloor will never get in the way of a good hook. Add proven DJ skills by just about all members of the group, and side projects like Goddard’s _(artist-name)The 2 Bears_, and you have the picture of a gentle giant at the core of the musical universe.
