Hot Chip to remix Kraftwerk

They provided Electronically Yours with the best electronic album last year (and we are still getting people to listen to 'No Fit State' and now the UK's leading electro band Hot Chip have officially been approached by the Godfathers Of Electro Kraftwerk.

NME yesterday announced that Hot Chip will be remixing Kraftwerk's 'Aerodynamik' and 'La Forme' from 2003's 'Tour De France'.

The tracks are expected to be released on September 17th across various formats including CD, a collectable limited edition 12-inch as well as digital downloads.

Hot Chip knob fiddler Joe Goddard is delighted to be working with one of the most influential music acts of all time: 'What makes Kraftwerk brilliant is the combination of fascinating textures and sounds, simplicity and efficiency in production and a habit of writing beautiful melodies'.

Hot Chip know their stuff and like Goldfrapp and Ladytron, they have a new album due for release in the fall of 2007.
