    Hot Chip - A Bugged Out Mix Hot Chip - A Bugged Out Mix
    Hot Chip - A Bugged Out Mix How could the same group have made each of the CDs in this package? The attention to detail, ear for the oddball groove, and skill at keeping a vibe going that makes disc one of A Bugged Out Mix such a sharp, fleet dance mix would—you might imagine—also apply to disc two's back-to-ours/whatever-we-want selection. Obviously any group with five members isn't going to see eye-to-eye or hear ear-to-ear all the time, as Hot Chip's A Bugged Out mix makes clear.

    But to be honest, so did Hot Chip's volume of the DJ-Kicks series two years ago, which began and ended with show-offy, clumsily segued runs—Grosvenor into Positive K into Gramme to start, Joe Jackson into Ray Charles to finish—but in between featured a mix that moved nicely even when it was flaunting its own eclecticism, as when Young Leek and Black Devil Disco Club flanked an old Etta James and Sugar Pie DeSanto blues.

    Disc one of A Bugged Out Mix is like that long middle reconstructed with mostly techno tracks, but with all of its canny turns intact. The mix is full of stuff a laptopper, a dance floor purist and a pop fan with an adventurous ear could love equally: the floridly playful Dandy Jack & the Queen of Mars remix of Conrad Schnitzler's "00/346 & 00/380" moving into John Tejada's gurgling, bounding "Torque" is a prime example. Tracks from Cosmic Sandwich, Ican and Kollektiv Turmstrasse match bulbous low end and colorful keyboard riffs that make the whole mix feel like a day at the beach.

    Disc two announces its intentions up front: "Let's have a disco with all of these people in our front room," begins The Pictish Trail's "Winter Home Disco (Hot Chip Remix)." In this case, that means abrupt, sometimes distracting segues, as when Greco Roman's "Party Rhythm" comes to a crash as Osborne's "16th Stage" begins, or Osborne gliding uneasily into Man Like Me's "London Town" or the drastic slowdown to join Gramme into Gang Gang Dance (remixed by Hot Chip). Worse, it can inspire you to try "blends" as ill-fated as Dizzee Rascal's "Fix Up, Look Sharp" over Terrence Trent D'Arby's "Wishing Well" here. Jesus, this is tedious—what were they thinking? Good thing Eddie Floyd's great "Bring It on Home to Me" ends things—otherwise you might think twice about going back.

      There's something odd about Hot Chip. Some fracture between conception and actuality that makes them all the more intriguing. Ostensibly Hot Chip sign up to the HipHop dream as espoused by MTV Cribs and presumably as lived by, ooh, Pharrell Williams?..
