Hot Chip's Essential Mix

Here's a two-hour Hot Chip DJ set from last night's broadcast of the Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1. For those unfamiliar with the program, a bit of info from Wiki:

"The Essential Mix is a weekly radio show broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and features all styles of electronic dance music. Originally the brainchild of Eddie Gordon the Producer of the Show from the very first broadcast in 1993 to 2001. After receiving weekly mix shows from DJs on 2 hour cassettes in the early 90s, Eddie felt that a BBC Radio 1 weekly show with DJs of different styles of music would offer more variety, and the chance for the ever burgeoning UK dance music scene to flourish. He further encouraged the DJs he scheduled to flex their musical knowledge muscles by pushing the fact that the DJs were not strictly playing to a dance floor, but to people listening in their homes all over the world. Hence the need for a straight out 4 on the floor mix for 2 hours was not essential."
