Lord of the fries:
Hot Chip have remixed Katy Perry’s ‘Chained To The Rhythm’
They’ve put a house spin on the reggae-pop comeback single.
So, Alexis Taylor is busy making companion albums that can
be played over his own piano work, and Joe Goddard is gearing up to release his
new album ‘Electric Lines.’ That hasn’t stopped Hot Chip from remixing one of
the biggest comeback singles of 2017 so far.
Yep, the synthpop group have taken on Katy Perry’s ‘Chained To The Rhythm,’ the track that sees Perry getting a bit political and singing
alongside Skip Marley across a reggae-disco beat. Hot Chip haven’t given the
basic elements of the track too much of a radical rework; they’re all still
pretty recognisable. What they have done is leant more on the disco side of the
song, and have chopped up Katy’s vocals so they’re much glitchier. The result
is a house banger that’s even more of a floor-filler than the original.
