“Here is a new Apple Music mix that I put together from lots of amazing music that informed the creation of my new album, Harmonics,” Joe Goddard tells Apple Music. Via his solo work, longstanding memberships of Hot Chip and The 2 Bears, plus multiple other projects and collaborations, the DJ/producer/songwriter has sought to explore and reset the boundaries of dance music and pop. That work continues on July 2024’s Harmonics and this insight into music that helped spark ideas and inspirations for the record, is a rich, winding journey that moves from the soul-tugging grooves of Elkka and salute & Sammy Virji to dance-floor thumpers by Caribou and Julio Bashmore via the incorrigible electro squelch of Mr. Oizo.
