Hot Chip have shared a new remix of their collaborative single with Jarvis Cocker, ‘Straight to the Morning’, by French producer Myd.
French contemporary producer Myd has lent his ‘French touch’ to Hot Chip’s ‘Straight to the Morning’, a modern disco track that takes listeners back to the days of being on the dancefloor.
The uplifting rework adds a fresh, hypnotic loop to the song, which is already bolstered by Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker’s vocals.
Myd, a member of the Club Cheval crew, previously participated in ‘Hot Chip & Friends’ charity livestream at the end of last year, the same time the beatmaker released his first album, Born a Loser.
He has done remixes for Dua Lipa, Major Lazer, Metronomy, and has worked alongside with Mac DeMarco and Theophilus London.
Originally written with Dua Lipa in mind, Hot Chip’s ‘Straight to the Morning’ found a new life when the quintet and Jarvis Cocker DJed together at Paris’ Les Bains-Douches.
Working with Cocker, the synthpop band says,
ββStraight To The Morningβ is a disco anthem about going out, for a time when people really canβt, and it features our friend Jarvis Cocker urging us to go βstraight through until the break of dawn.β Somehow he seems an unlikely figure in this all, and we like it that way.β
Jarvis adds,
βThis was the very last musical session I was involved in before lockdown. It felt very poignant to be singing a song about dancing all night long in a club whilst knowing it wouldnβt be possible to do such a thing for the foreseeable future. We danced around the studio quite a lot in the meantime though. It was fun to be a member of the Straight Through Crew for a day.β
