Robert Wyatt Remixes Hot Chip
I ran across an interesting tidbit thanks to the folks at Nylvi.com
Apparently Robert Wyatt (who happens to be one of my favorite artists) is being reworked by Hot Chip on their new EP. To make things even better…it’s available for FREE!!
The 63 year old avant-pop/folk legend and founder of Soft Machine first teamed up with Hot Chip when they remixed one of Wyatt’s singles - This Summer Night. Now he’s returning the favor by adding vocals to the Hot Chip tracks Made In The Dark, Whistle For Will and We’re Looking For A Lot Of Love.
The download-only EP will also feature a Geese remix of One Pure Thought and will be available from hotchip.co.uk as of December 15th.

Fortunately, we can all take a cue from high-spirited DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Daedelus. Born on Halloween, Daedelus, aka Alfred Darlington, is a fan of holidays and is set to spend one of his favorites right here in the Windy City. “I’m a big fan of the non-denominational holidays,” he says. “They’re great excuses for people to go a little bit crazy and kind of get out of themselves. I don’t know exactly what this New Year’s will hold, but I have a lot of good faith in Chicago!”
Hot on the heels of his brand new ninth studio record, Love To Make Music To (Ninja Tune), and on the line with us from his L.A. home, Daedelus discusses his musical style, the new album and possible plans for the distant future:
