Re: (313) Carl Craig remixes Hot Chip
I don't know - some of the cred acts are pretty boring to me. I don't get Junior Boys at all. I saw Mayer Hawthorne (he's from Ann Arbor) on the weekend and he was vg but right now no neo-soul act compares live to Daniel Merriweather. He's incredible live... he's somewhere between D'Angelo and Jeff Buckley and Lewis Taylor.

Re: (313) Carl Craig remixes Hot Chip
Yeah I have to second that, they certainly know their music. If the techno police are gonna 'arrest' Carl, they probably would want to get him for the ex Sugababe girl (Siobhan Donaghy) remix, though, as pop acts go, she's pretty cool.

It would be good if they took a bit of a chance with *some* of their music. That's interesting, as I tend to got the impression somehow that they *could* write some edgier music if they tried. Perhaps I can sense the good taste lurking somewhere in what they've released. They're clearly instead opting for safety=security= [perhaps] money. That's where I part company with what they do.

Re: (313) Carl Craig remixes Hot Chip
I think every man and his dog remixes Hot Chip... I can't keep up! The only people who get more remixes are Jamiroquai. I wish he'd remix White Lies... or (early) Kings of Leon... ;) On 09/01/2010, at 6:31 AM, kent williams wrote: http://www.urb.com/2010/01/08/hot-chip-one-life-stand-carl-craig-remix I have no use for Hot Chip, myself, and the cynically minded might view this as the latest chapter in CC's selling out.

Re: (313) Carl Craig remixes Hot Chip
Maybe you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear - that is, if you have some silk in your pocket. The other alternative is to totally ignore the track in question (an Aphex type of stunt) or trash it (like U-ziq did with the Auteurs). I still have a copy of Acacia's "Sway", which I bought for the Plaid mix. Bad move, as Plaid actually tried to work with the source material. The most palatable remix on the disc was from Anthony Manning, who took the minimalist approach, using as little of the source material as humanly possible, yet still retaining a tiny glimmer of association with the original, rather like gingerly handling a turd with as little contact as possible kent williams wrote: http://www.urb.com/2010/01/08/hot-chip-one-life-stand-carl-craig-remix I have no use for Hot Chip, myself, and the cynically minded might view this as the latest chapter in CC's selling out.
