The Hot Chip bio:

‘The Calling’ which was Hot Chip’s second album released in 2006 was unanimously answered by a swelling contingent of fans. Infectious beats, bleeps, grooves and lyrics all made up the finest concoction of pop about. “We decided to write folk songs and record them on old synthesizers. We decided to sing honest words about food and love, and try to make people laugh the way you laugh at Richard Pryor in the same song too,” claim the band. Finding out the tracks that have influenced them and that they’ve been picking up on the road amidst the madness of a dancing like a wild thing to ‘Over and Over’ should make it a memorable night.

DJ Mehdi, too:

Signed to label du jour ‘Ed Banger Records’, DJ Mehdi is a true blue, white and red blooded Parisienne. Mehdi dropped his debut album ‘Lucky Boy’ last autumn and is fortunate to have the likes of Chromeo and Kenny Dope from Masters At Work providing vocals and remixes to the first single lifted from it ‘I am Somebody’. DJ Mehdi has been producing major french Hip-hop artists since 1995 while making great noise (and platinum albums) with his bands Ideal J and 113, remixing various electronic acts and composing soundtracks for many french and international films. His resumé mentions collabos with the largest scope, from MC SOLAAR to DAFT PUNK, CASSIUS, JOAKIM, or SUPER DISCOUNT, globe-trotters NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB, JUST JACK or ARCHITECTURE IN HELSINKI plus legends like FUTURA2000 and RYUICHI SAKAMOTO.

bit more warning would have been good — I need a decent online Dublin-club newsfeed…

Tune of the day: “Raven”, from Cajuan, the Joakim remix. get it!
