The Chuckness

Here’s the visual for Chromeo’s infectious, 80′s themed “When The Night Falls”. The more I look at him, the more I’m upset at myself that I didn’t piece together the relation between the lead singer and A-Trak. They’re brothers, and they look identical. Shout out to Beyonce’s sister, who is conveniently impregnated by Chromeo’s music. Tweet

It’s been a while since I’ve heard something new from the dance vibe masters Chromeo. “When The Night Falls” features Beyonce’s sister Solange, and it puts Chromeo’s distinct funk sound on full display. Add in a little Breakbot to do a remix, and you have a certified jam. Check it out for yourself below. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Chromeo (feat.

Whoa whoa whoa. Chromeo’s original “Night By Night” is a top notch track on it’s own, but NEUS just flipped the entire thing 180 degrees. Nobody is safe when those whomps kick in at the 1:27 mark. I repeat; not a soul is safe. I’m not even that into dubstep, but this one’s got me hooked. Shout out to Tony with the find.

Armand Van Helden and A-Track, known as Duck Sauce, came in and did a little number to Chromeo’s record “Hot Mess”.  I’ve enjoyed all of the songs and remixes that Duck Sauce has produced…they’re just energetic tracks that consistently result in a good time. Enjoy this remix and the aesthetically pleasing artwork for the Chromeo single.

Great way to start the weekend. I’d seen some hype behind this song the past couple of days, but just got the CDQ version of the track sent over. I’m a heavy supporter of anything La Roux or Chromeo touches, so the two of them together on a single song is doing big things for me. Get involved below.

Chromeo’s new album Business Casual dropped this past week, and with that, “I Could Be Wrong” has been circulating the blogosphere. The track features lead singer of Vampire Weekend, Ezra Koenig, and brings the expected 80′s, jazz-style vibe of Chromeo’s previous work…but tosses in a little Vampire Weekend flair to make the song that much better. As I’m waiting on the new Kanye track which is supposed to drop tonight, this is keeping me beyond entertained. Definitely worth the download.

Chromeo is always good for some mid eighties style dance music, and “You Make It Rough” fits the bill. They have a formula and it works for them…there’s no need to mess with it. Off their album Business Casual, which is due to drop next Tuesday. Give it a spin. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Chromeo – You Make It Rough [via] Tweet

Jimbo found this new single from everybody’s favorite band that’s forever stuck in the 80′s club scene…but I beat him to the post.  It’s literally like this duo woke up in 2010 and decided that they would continue to live as if were ’85.  That’s not to say their music isn’t catchy, because it clearly is.  If Chromeo was on stage, I’d live in 1985 in a heartbeat. Oh, and this is officially the 500th post in the illustrious career of The Chuckness…a big moment for everyone.  I just re-upped the domain for another two years, so we’re in this … Continue reading →

Just stumbled across this new one from the ever so bro indie rock band coming out of Columbia.  It’s got the same flavor as their first album, which blew up all over college campuses for a reason.  It’ll be the first single off their upcoming album, Contra, which drops in early 2010.  Props to DCtoBC for the find.

Chromeo is a Canadian electrofunk band that sounds straight off of the 1980′s dancefloor…but in a cool way, if that’s possible.  Hit up their album Fancy Footwork for a taste of who they are.  They just released their new single “Night By Night”, check it out here: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] A little slice of Fancy Footwork… listen to “Bonafide Lovin”: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Tweet
