English electro group Hot Chip curated the latest release in the DJ-Kicks series of compilations, which has previously featured selections from Tiga, Annie, Four Tet and Thievery Corporation.

DJ-Kicks: Hot Chip will be released on May 22 by !K7. In keeping with DJ-Kicks custom, the group — who include Alexis Taylor, Joe Goddard, Owen Clarke, Alan Doyle and Felix Martin — also contributed a new track of their own called "My Piano" to the album.

Hot Chip are writing songs for the follow-up to last year's The Warning album. According to their MySpace page, it's "mostly about WWF wrestling."

Hot Chip will play Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom on June 19.
