Alongside his work with Hot Chip, The 2 Bears, and HARD FEELINGS, JOE GODDARD keeps busy as a solo artist, songwriter, producer, DJ, remixer, and co-founder of the Greco-Roman record label. Across all his projects, he is driven by a hunger for experimentation, an innate understanding of dance, pop, and indie music’s inner workings, and a heartfelt love of collaboration.
Joe embraces the role of ‘producer’ on a musical, practical, and spiritual level. His infatuation with dance music began as a teenager in the ’90s, attending clubnights where he progressed from indie and hip hop to drum’n’bass to house and garage.
On top of his solo records, Joe has released eight albums with Hot Chip, two with The 2 Bears, and one with HARD FEELINGS. Other projects include Extra Credit (with Justin Strauss and Marcus Marr) and A Pulse Train (with Caribou’s Dan Snaith, Floating Points, and others). He’s worked with Jarvis Cocker, Peter Gabriel, and Bernard Sumner; remixed Jessie Ware, Kraftwerk, and Disclosure; co-wrote Katy Perry’s “Into Me You See”; and released the 2011 hit “Gabriel” with Valentina.
