Hot Chip - Essential Mix - 12/29/07

The Essential Mix is a weekly radio show broadcast on BBC Radio 1. It is singularly the greatest influence on my disc jockeying career. The summation of the internet, Napster and T1 connection coupled with a desire for music at the first university I attended culminated in my almost student-like devotion in listening to as many Essential Mixes as I possibly could.

The following is a recent Essential Mix done by Hot Chip, a British electro-pop band. It's quite eclectic in tracklisting, which I enjoy. It also features the narsty new Snoop Dogg single "Sexual Seduction" (which has another version titled as "Sexual Eruption").

Also, here's the video for "Sexual Seduction" which is the tits. Notice how he's using the vocoder, but when done right, it's on. Even if it's a played out tool, if it's done right, it's aight. Na mean?
