To follow the start of this year’s Tour De France commencing in London, Kraftwerk have enlisted the skills of the capital’s finest electromeisters, Hot Chip, to deliver two remixes of ‘Aerodynamik’ and ‘La Forme’, both tracks having originally appeared on Kraftwerk’s 2003 ‘Tour De France Soundtracks’ album.

Aerodynamik was remixed by Alexis Taylor & Joe Goddard whilst La Forme was remixed by Al Doyle and Felix Martin.

Doyle and Martin have reworked the elements into a sprawling minimal epic, complete with distant sirens, stomach-turning bass hits and a momentous melodic breakdown. Building on the sonic foundation of the original recordings and very much inspired by the vocals and melodies, additional synthesizer and drum machine patterns emphasize the lengthy transitions from claustrophobic, hypnotic electronic patterns to moments of triumph and great excitement.

On Kraftwerk, Joe Goddard added "What makes Kraftwerk brilliant is the combination of fascinating textures and sounds, simplicity and efficiency in production, and a habit of writing beautiful melodies."
