Today Hot Chip are sharing a Dillon Francis remix of recent single “Straight To The Morning” featuring Jarvis Cocker. A longtime fan of the band, Francis is an American DJ who’s risen to fame alongside his collaborations with artists like Calvin Harris, Skrillex, Kygo, Rae Sremmurd and others.
Dillon Francis says of the remix, “I have been a massive Hot Chip fan since their album ‘The Warning’ so getting asked to remix this last single was an absolute honor. This remix is in the direction of a lot of my upcoming new music so I hope people enjoy the hell out of it because more happy house music is on the way!”
Praise for “Straight To The Morning”:
"As its name implies, the track is guaranteed to spark an all-night living room dance party." - Consequence of Sound
"Over the kind of euphoric dance-pop build Hot Chip were wielding on A Bath Full Of Ecstasy, Alexis Taylor and Cocker both sing paeans for going out to clubs all night long...yet another in this year’s long lineage of music that conjures up nightlife and makes it this wistful echo of normal life." - Stereogum
"...an exuberant, dance-around-the-room house raver, with lush atmospherics, and totally massive, soul-rousing choruses." - BlackBook
"It’s two great sounds that sound great together...caffeinated strut leans toward the pop-tastic..." - FLOOD Magazine
"four-on-the-floor banger that combines electro-disco with sexy whispering." - Brooklyn Vegan
“This was Cocker’s last music session just before lockdown was enacted, making it a fitting sendoff to the carefree days of packed, sweaty dance clubs and uninhibited nights out. At the very least, spinning this kaleidoscopic bop will bring back some of that feeling as well as give us something to look forward to.” - AV Club
The single will be getting a limited edition 10” vinyl release featuring the original track, the Mighty Mouse Remix and “Straight To The Morning” playing cards. Due for release on January, 15, 2021, the 10” is currently sold out.
