Since releasing their breakthrough album Fancy Footwork back in 2007, the boogie-fever-enducing duo Chromeo has seen its fair share of success. They’ve enjoyed sold-out shows across the globe and die-hard followers, who move on their every note. From a fan’s perspective, it’s easy to think Dave-1 and P-Thugg – two Canadian comrades who’ve grown up building their brand of new wave, electro-based dance jams since high school – aim simply to blow up and achieve the extraordinary.

Here’s one for ‘ya. Chromeo – the group who puts years in between releases to ensure the proper touch is placed upon each and every aspect of their body rocking reputation of indie hits – will be unveiling their fourth album Drive Time, only seven months after Business Casual had folks loosening up last fall.

While grasping for air during their efforts to help the whole globe bounce with non-stop touring partying, Chromeo found time to drop the next video from their most complete album yet, Business Casual. Despite director Jérémie Rozan’s depiction of the dance-ready “Hot Mess” starting off in questionable territory, a 360° turn for the best lets us see why cops can put up with so much bullshit.

Despite my budget trying to sway me otherwise, I plan on spending my Halloween getting sloshed with Chromeo X A-Trak X Theophilus London, for what my Chi-Town brethren says shall be the hottest concert in the land come October’s end. I expect to see all my Midwesterners there, pretending they can dance right along side me. Since it is Halloween, would it be ironic if we went as hipsters?

Oh yeah, and are you Business Casual yet, or do you still dress like a dork?

Don’t be turned off by the name of the song or group, because A-Trak and Armand Van Heldon’s eventful new video for “Barbara Streisand” is one of the most enjoyable virals of the year. Like a cab flying down 42nd St with killer connections and a hellafied itinerary, this DJ/Producer combo speeds viewers through the Big Apple, showing off sights, sounds and celebrities that could only be found in New York.

– Bun B got y’all talking in an effort to win his Trill discography… and once again when Trill O.G. went under the microscope.

Firsts are always the best. That first kiss. The first time witnessing the team you grew up watching, finally hoisting their golden hardware. Your first hit from the…higher power. And, of course, your first glimpse of your favorite group performing live, which is why my presence last Thursday at Chromeo’s first concert in my native Motor City was one for the ages.

Those two cool cats from Chromeo continue to capitalize on every avenue pursued, as their eccentric creativity shines through once again on the spooky, new video for “Don’t Turn The Lights On.” The cherry on top of their lead single, this visual is what would happen if Mars Attacks met Ghostbusters, they banged and made a sex tape with a tune that would bring home the Best Soundtrack at the Porn Awards.

Seeing as how my infatuation for music makes me hate my job, I can appreciate this video showing Chromeo discussing their gigs prior to jamming people’s faces off. Most aspiring artists should find solace in the fact that Dave 1 discusses his difficulties Read the rest of this entry »

Chromeo was not meant for the 21st century.

See, their succulent, saturated sound is so 1980′s that the two compounded opposites that compose the group – Dave-1 and P-Thugg – probably jacked some Libyans for their plutonium to make it all the way here to 2010 and drop a late-night dancehall delight like “Don’t Turn The Lights On.” Read the rest of this entry »

This summer I was opening up about the hankering I’d had for some new material from the essential non-rap music group in my mind, Chromeo. It’s been two long years since their last studio release, the whimsical whirlwind that was Fancy Footwork, and all I’ve heard from these two Canadian purveyors of electroboogie is one dope Eagles’ cover and a few random-yet-generous placements during commercials for The Hills on MTV.

I’ve been waiting for new Chromeo music like Tigers fans have been waiting on another championship. Read the rest of this entry »

Alfamega whooped ass & took names @ The Dirty Awards.

It used to be that Lil Wayne was a the designated comment-starter around these parts. Currently, 808′s and Heartbreak holds that crown firmly.
