Listen To This: Better Late Than Never

Why has it taken us this long to fall in love with the brilliance that is Chromeo????

If you like Justice or Daft Punk, then these boys will make you cream!

Their music may sound like it's from France, but they actually hail from Montreal and New York. Their sound is a sweet amalgam of influences and eras. And, unlike a lot of electro artists, they're not afraid of using live instruments.

Check out just a taste of what they're all about below. Then you must CLICK HERE to discover the sweetness that is Chromeo!

There are only 3 cities that I absolutely love: NY, Montreal and Tokyo
They are the most amazing places you'll ever go to. Montreal is so fun, has an amazing music scene, the mix of french and english and the european vibe to the city makes it a wonderful place… That's why Chromeo and other groups like Omnikrom just rock the shit… I'm going up there next week. You should go too Perez… If you've never been

Perez you are YEARS behind on this one. Seriously. These cats are cool, they make dance music with Tiga who is a DJ/Producer God to some. You should look more into the underground house scene thats where the real dope music is and I think you and lots of your readers would like it.
