江山代有才人出，随之同时制造新名词。後者被发明创造的速度显然已经快过乐谈改朝换代的节奏，以致每一辈新进场的乐迷总要困惑於那些乍看不知所以然的分类标签。关於Hot Chip，这2004年方获BBC Collective选为年度新秀(New Talent)的伦敦混种折衷派新乐队，目前已有多事的传媒将他们划归Poptronica。从字面上不难明白它乃是Pop与Electronica的复合体，但对进一步了解以创作核心Joe Goddard及Alexis Taylor为首这帮人的音乐格局似乎无济於事，毕竟流行混电音实在不是什麽新鲜玩意，若把Hot Chip当作Pet Shop Boys那可真是误会大了。若要更精准描述，得先明白他们心中的创作目标其实是放客。
两年前Hot Chip以宛如英国版LCD Soundsystem之姿发表首张专辑《Coming On Strong》，广获好评之余，果然立刻得到DFA幕後加持顺利转进主流厂牌。2006年推出第二张全新专辑《The Warning》，电子乐仍是他们外显的色彩，并且深谙流行与低传真之美，将之充分揉进融合发酵，首波暖身单曲〈Over And Over〉以电子合成乐器与电吉他引领着旋律简明易记的副歌，让Hot Chip之名正式於全英Top 40登场。早期曾有人形容他们宛若The Beta Band挑战Prince的比喻至今仍然适用，因为《The Warning》无处不清楚可见那企图跨越黑人跳跃放客(乃至是当代变形版的2 Step，如〈Tchaparian〉)与低调破碎之IDM的有趣实验(如标题同名曲或颇有Air气味的〈So Glad To See You〉等)。甚至听似民谣低吟的〈Look After Me〉根本就是一首未出柜的节奏蓝调。
如此黑白两跨，听来却毫不张狂，轻松地令他们赢得Time Out (London) ★★★★★、BBC Collective、Uncut 、Observer ★★★★ 等赞赏，同时荣登XLR8R封面人物。NME如此下注︰「might be the UK‘s best new electronic band coming of age」给予8分高评价，可说是稳赚不赔的投资
