"Hot Chip again prove they're the makers of some of the best electronic music around."

More Hot Chip More Hot Chip

Only Hot Chip could take The Boss' finest and morph it into a synth-electro-pop jam, before turning it all on its head with a sly switch to LCD Soundsystem's All My Friends midway - Dancing In The Dark is the true definition of reinterpretation, where marimba percussion meet Alexis Taylor's signature hopeful vocals and a very '80s guitar riff pulls it all together.

Elsewhere on the EP, Soulwax's minimalist approach to Huarache Lights keeps the rhythm at the heart of the tune while rearranging the synth chords. Here, Hot Chip again prove they're the makers of some of the best electronic music around.
