Metropolis playlist: January 10, 2026
Jason Bentley captures a hypnotic pulse of modern city life.

For almost twenty years, U.K. quintet Hot Chip has won the hearts of music lovers worldwide by exploring the weird musical corners of synth-pop, disco, funk, and house to create an electrifying body of work, album after album.
The ever-inventive band continues to deliver, with their latest record Bath Full of Ecstasy. It’s an awe-inspiring collection of alternative dance music with exhilarating rhythms, a strong sense of songwriting and whimsical vocals that represents the band’s growth from their quirky roots to the present day, with a finely honed sound, style, and craft that is the best iteration of Hot Chip yet.
We are thrilled to welcome Hot Chip to KCRW for an exclusive guest mix for Metropolis.
Hot Chip will be performing live at the Shrine Auditorium on Friday, September 27th.
