The Cold Cut

I've always been a Mylo fan. Naming your debut dance album 'Destroy Rock & Roll' is an audacious move, and although Myles Macinnes didn't live up to this claim, he had a bloody good go at it. Everyone has their reasons for liking this type of dance/electronica music, but mine is the happiness it instills in me. There's nothing better than a well-thought out dance tune to cheer me up on a cloudy day.

This genre is a rapidly evolving one: you might wonder how many combinations of synths and beats there can be, but the artists at the top of the pile consistently impress, and talent is a prerequisite. Listen to Hot Chip and tell me they aren't talented- do any of you have the guts to say that 'Over And Over' isn't a go-to guide of genius songwriting?

This type of music is a blessing come the winter months; how great it is, then, that new Hot Chip songs are clogging The Hype Machine and Mylo begins releasing new material (which I'm not going to post, given how new it is). Hot Chip's third album, Made In The Dark, comes out on February 4th next year. Here's a couple of new dance tracks that I'm feeling at the moment. Any tips within this field of music would be much appreciated.

Flatpack- Sweet Child Of Mine (Guns N' Roses Cover)- (Mylo Remix)
Hot Chip- Ready For The Floor
Hot Chip- Shake A Fist
