Remixes and New Release in Sight for Hot Chip

Hot Chip will be working with Dave Taylor, a.k.a. Switch, Mock and Toof, as well as some other producers, to put together a disc with remixes form their latest full-length, Made in the Dark.

"Dave has completed 2 mixes of 'Hold On' and we liked them both so they both feature on the package. Mock and Toof also remixed 'Hold On' and again, have been friends for a while, their label Tiny Sticks is consistently excellent and they have already featured on Death From Abroad as well as previously remixing Over and Over.

I think their mix of 'Hold On' is one of the best mixes we have ever had. Ewan Pearson takes on 'Touch Too Much' and the quality of his mix shows through pretty obviously, I think this mix will be played out by alot of people. If you don't know Ewan he has been DJing and producing for a while now and his Partial Arts moniker is particularly good in my opinion, especially the 'Trauermusik' release on Kompakt a couple of years ago.

Kollektiv Turmstrasse are one of Felix and Al's favourite groups, they have been making excellent, melodic, very funky techno for a while and whilst not being the biggest name on the scene have been consistently excellent and responsible for a lot of big DJs 'secret weapons'.

We are also putting the finishing touches to our next release, which is an EP of songs from 'Made In The Dark' featuring new contributions from Robert Wyatt, which we are very excited about."
