Track of the Week from Audio Sushi in association with UJ

 

Hot Chip "One Pure Thought"

Hot Chip's ode to acid is, possibly, in the natural and supernatural order of things, one of the songs of the year. Built around a a simple descending - but crucially pure - natural fifth [chord] sequence, found more in sacred than in modern electronic music, recall the slightly negative character of chemical prophecy. 

Evidence, if any is needed, that Hot Chip are the Gregorian Monks of modernity, instead of handwritten liturgy they have vintage Prophecy Synths and excellent collections of leisure footwear.  Remixes by Supermayer and Dominik Eulberg leave us in rapture and awe.

Artist: Hot Chip

  • Track of the Week: Mulatu Astatke

    Every time I play this I'm asked what it is, so this week is a good week to point out Mulatu Astatke's "Yegelle Tezeta," as never before has African music been so incredibly hot.

    Finally, the wait is over....here is the first single from Grace Jones - The Hurricane album. It is called Williams Blood and comes with remixes from Mad Professor, Greg Wilson and Ivor Guest.

  • Track of the Week: Wild Beasts

    In the week where we have the quadruple Chart diva pile up of Britney, Beyonce, Christina & Leona I thought it might be a good moment to introduce you to a much more exciting diva, Hayden Thorpe, from the skyrocketing band Wild Beasts.

  • Track of the Week: Friendly Fires "Paris"

    Taken from Friendly Fires' eponymous debut album, the Aeroplane remix strips away the vocals and replaces them with the original backing vocals from Brooklyn's Au Revoir Simone.
