Chromeo is P-Thugg and Dave 1: best friends since their adolescence, virtuoso musicians, walking hip hop encyclopaedias, and quite possibly one of the most successful Arab/Jew partnership in recorded history. Chromeo started out making beats for hip hop bands such as Shades of Culture, Dubmatique, Sans Pression and Yvon Kreve, but once signed to Tiga's Turbo Recordings label Chromeo became pop stars in their own right. Their most recent endeavour 'DJ KiCKS Re(Mix)' has Chromeo embark on a quest to collect the hottest funk on the planet for one compilation.

It's been three years since Chromeo's breakthrough album 'Fancy Footwork', and while the Canadian duo was certainly keeping busy during the time - compiling a 'DJ-Kicks' volume for !K7 among other endeavours - their eclectic pop-funk sounds have been sadly missed.
'Business Casual' is Dave 1 and P-Thugg's third album and quite likely their most accomplished and polished effort to date. Cassius member and Phoenix producer Philippe Zdar has been recruited for mixing duties, and his production magic makes the album's ten tracks sparkle and shine with clarity.
Not that his source material has left much to be desired for. Chromeo's song-writing skills are as strong as ever, and their derivative approach of essentially mashing up Hall & Oates and Zapp with a touch of Billy Joel can be forgiven when the result is as convincing as this. 'Don't Turn The Lights On' stands out through a great video by Keith Schofield, also included on the album, and smooth electro-funk grooves that bear a resemblance to their DJ Mehdi collaboration, 'I Am Somebody'.
Other tracks, such as 'Night By Night', take a more disco-like direction, 'J'ai claqué la porte' has Dave-1 at the peak of his crooning prowess, and Chromeo even lend some credibility to Beyoncé's little sister Solange Knowles by featuring her on 'When The Night Falls'. Coherent in vision and spotless in execution, 'Business Casual' is a perfect album of well written and impeccably produced pop music.
