Hot Chip: DJ Kicks
Label: K7
Party album of the year. !K7’s DJ Kicks’s series has produced some great records over the years (Four Tet, Erlend Oye, Tiga), but it took Britain’s Hot Chip to turn the concept into a true work of art. Think of it as the best mixed tape you could ever find or the work of the world’s best DJ stepping into your home to deliver pure joy in your life for over an hour. They take classic soul, hip-hop, Ray Charles, a Hot Chip original, Joe Jackson, New Order, new wave, new everything and turn it into a seamless flow of wondrous music, with never a dull moment.
