Hot Chip - "Ready For The Floor"

Made In The Dark is Hot Chip’s third full length release and the follow up to their critically acclaimed album The Warning. This new installment shows Hot Chip at its best; wonderfully quirky, clever, soulful and poppy. The bands sound has evolved towards a wilder, heavier electronics, though still coupled with a signature pop aesthetic. The stand out tracks “Shake A Fist”, “Ready For The Floor” and “One Pure Thought” add pure, unadulterated head rush pop into the mix. Made In The Dark also shows that the band is equally at home creating songs of intimacy and melancholy as they were dance floor-fillers.

Simian Mobile Disco - Hustler

The new Simian Mobile Disco is, er, how should I say it... interesting. This is sort of like food fetish porn (although there's no actual nudity). They released a video for this last year, but this is the more high-budget edition, I suppose. This was directed by LA favorite Ace Norton.

A Little Of French Electro Dance : : .

And why not...? Trends, life, fashion, music style & euphoric nights. The brand new dance sensation... and beautiful t-shirts.


You all probably know this video, but I haven't been able to find a decent sized clip until now. Then, I realized that the name of the band was Justice, not Justine... Anyway, I want one of those t-shirts. Maybe two.

Justice is Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Augé, a French electro music act.
Their debut album, titled † (Cross) was released on Ed Banger Records on June 11th 2007. The album was preceded by the D.A.N.C.E. EP, released on May 28. The song is dedicated to Michael Jackson as the band are huge fans of his. (Source: Wikipedia)

The music video was directed by Jonas & Francois. They're represented by El Niño. Illustrations by So Me.

NuGroove Vol. 09 - E*Rock : : .

This episode features E*Rock, the musician and artist who co-founded the record label Audio Dregs with his brother nearly 10 years ago. In that time he has not only become one of experimental electronic music's most important figures but also generously contributed many, many songs to early soundtracks of Cool Hunting's videos. If you were watching back then and liked the melodic sounds you heard, Audio Dregs was probably responsible for them.

In this video, we visit him in his Portland home and studio, look at some of the album covers he designed, check out a zine he publishes, watch a few flash-based videos he directed and go on a bike ride. He also shares an unreleased track and weighs-in on headphone music, using digital tools and running a record label like an art collective.

NuGroove Vol. 06 - Matthew Herbert : : .

Matthew Herbert, one of the U.K.'s most lauded, often overlooked and hardest-to-categorize electronic musicians grabbed major attention with the release of Scale (2006), a critically-acclaimed album that includes over 700 samples of ambient noises like birds, gas pumps, breakfast cereal, coffins, mobile phones and babies crying, as well as voice mails left on "Herbert's Hotline," a phone he set up for the project.

Cool Hunting Video's 61st episode shows Herbert making field recordings inside caves and up in a hot air balloon, among other unconventional locales, sits down with the innovator in NYC for an interview and catches his live show at Irving Plaza. We also get DJ and BBC Radio 1 host Gilles Peterson's take on his fellow countryman, as well as some words from Maurice Bernstein, co-founder of the New York dance party turned label and PR firm, Giant Step. The result is an exclusive look at one of the most influential musicians of today and his idiosyncratic approach—in the studio, knee-deep in the ocean and live on stage—to making music.

NuGroove Vol. 04 - Brazilian Girls : : .

On the heels of last week's Brazilian Girls that marks their latest album's release. Crossing multiple genres, representing a mutli-culti mix of ethnicities and with lyrics in five different languages, the New York-based band resists easy definition.

Since 2006, Cool Hunting Video has followed the quartet to the studio, caught live shows, and visited backstage, capturing candid, behind-the-scenes moments with the burgeoning group. The resulting video is a portrait of a band that's as eclectic as the musicians themselves. Like always, but especially for this installment, headphone use is recommended.

NuGroove Vol. 02 - Quantic : : .

Second episode of Nugroove, Electronic Culture.
Known for deftly blending a wide range of multi-ethnic sounds, calling Brighton-based DJ Quantic a consummate crate-digger is almost an understatement. With that in mind and with the impending North American release of the 26 year-old's fourth solo album, An Announcement to Answer, we tagged along with Quantic on a recent visit to a Brooklyn record store.


There and in an interview, he shared some tips and gave us a little insight into his current collecting habits, which naturally show up on An Announcement. The disc—a laid-back journey through jazz, funk, hip hop, and soul—are what you'd expect from a musician who's traveled throughout Africa and Puerto Rico, creating and recording much of his album on the road. From playful beats laced with trumpet samples and warm guitar loops to guest appearances by labelmate Ohmega Watts and LA-based chanteuse Noelle Scaggs, the eclectic lineup is well-balanced, never boring, and plenty lively.

NuGroove Vol. 01 - Arnold & Ellis : : .

Welcome to the first episode of Nugroove, Electronic Culture (a original production of CoolHunting web site) an exploration of musicians who are able to expand both what we hear and think.

This episode focuses on two critically acclaimed Detroit musicians; Jeremy Ellis and John Arnold. Ellis and Arnold have been playing together in an experimental live electronic format for over a decade.
On Friday 24 March 2006, during the Winter Music Conference week in Miami, Arnold and Ellis performed an eclectic set of sounds that touched nearly every style and taste—in one improvised set they manifested a sonic tour through jazz, soul and funk to latin, rock, techno, electro, breaks and hip hop.

The show took place as part of CO-OP MIAMI, an event organized by Goya Music and Amalgama at The District in Miami's Design District.
