Hot Chip's position as one of Britain's most beloved electronic bands is now firmly and magnificently set in stone, as is the group's ability to mix the highest strobe-lit euphoria with the most reflective kind of headphones melancholy. Having produced eight albums, an infinite number of DJ mixes and borderline devotional live performances, Hot Chip have claimed the sweet spot of the dancefloor as their own.
Comprising of Alexis Taylor, Joe Goddard, Al Doyle, Felix Martin & Owen Clarke, Hot Chip combine indie & dance in innovative ways. On early albums such as 2006's Mercury Prize-nominated ‘The Warning’, the band evoked the cleverness of Talking Heads and the poignancy of the Pet Shop Boys.
As time went on, Hot Chip's music broadened and deepened, encompassing the tender musings on commitment of 2010's ‘One Life Stand’ as well as the anything-goes genre mashups of 2015's ‘Why Make Sense’? With the hit singles including Grammy-nominated ‘Ready for the Floor’ from 2008's ‘Made in the Dark’ as well as ‘Over & Over’ and ‘Boy From School’ from ‘The Warning, Hot Chip earned a following that allowed them to headline festivals; reflected by the rave-tinged anthems of 2019's ‘A Bath Full of Ecstasy’. In 2022, the bands returned with ‘Freakout/Release’ - a collection of flesh-&-blood songs that find the bands reaching into the darkness to emerge as a true creative unit, their gazes fixed positively on the future ahead. 2024 has seen the band
lean further into their DJ credentials - touring worldwide with a Summer packed with festivals including an iconic Glastonbury peak-time set at the all-new Arcadia - evidence that the band's not even close to slowing down.
