..are the bomb.

Fast becoming my favourite production duo since Tuff Jam and Masters At Work.

Always been into the bits I've had to play out, the Tenderoni and Needy Girl promo's come to mind, but recently picked up both albums and haven't stopped playing them.

Absolute genius! These will get a serious battering over the summer.

Saw these guys at some festival i went to last summer, had no idea who they were initially, but when i saw them draw for the talkboxes i had to stay. So corny, but brilliant. Plus it's nice to see a jewish-arab combo. The middle east clearly just needs a bit more funk and all will be well.

Love 'Needy Girl', but currently it's all about 'Bonafied Loving' for me. The keyboard, and that guitar! Too much. 'Momma's Boy' is awesome too.

i used to rate chromeo back ina day. Saw them last year as well and they are really good live. Din't realise till recently the Jewish guy is a-trak's brother.
i like the synths and vocoder style on tenderoni, though overall i just like the style of like 80s giorgio moroder type disco beats which they seem to have resurrected and made popular again.

Yes they are! Nowt like listening to some funky saxa-ma-phone to get you in a good mood. Someone mentioned these a couple of weeks back, can't remember when tho...and far far FAR too lazy to search for it. Had what I believe is a Chromeo album for a couple of years....so so SO good.

I've decided: 'Opening Up' is one of my all-time favourite tunes.

If you're into guitar solos (at you, Slim) (I've also decided I'm really into guitar solos!) then peep the murkage on 2:40. Oh gosh.

Nice pics Savage. Couple of people have told me they've seen them live recently, would absolutely love too.

Brass doesn't deserve it, I DO! :evil:

when you're in Europe, its definitely much easier to move about.
I totally recommend going and seeing them live.
They put it down, no lie.
