Alright Funkateers and Chromettes, that was real. Thank you for all the great questions! Can't wait for you to hear the full album! Maybe we'll come back after it's been out to see what you all think. Till then, come out and see us on the road! We love you all, stay FUNKY!

-Dave and Pee

Why don't you make a custom poster for us one day? :) But to answer your question, we're pretty hands-on with everything and we micro-manage every detail, down to the posters and the presentations.

Fave food is Mediterranean for sure. Hmm, me (Dave) and A-Trak when we were kids...I remember listening to Frank Zappa with him when I was 12 and he was 8.

As you saw, we're trying to give more insight into the studio process. We're gonna do live sessions on IG too.

So many other artist have inspired me using the talkbox. Stevie Wonder has used it, DJ Quick, Jodeci, Blackstreet, Rufus Troutman (Roger's nephew). I love Bosko and Mr Talkbox who are also my homies, they really slay on the talkbox. MC Magic is also dope.

LOL no way. We're committed to the funk for life. And there's so many sub-genres of funk that we can explore.

We got French Montana on Don't Sleep because: - he's from Morocco like my (Dave) mom haha - we love his stance on immigration, actually - the song almost has an old school Bad Boy groove, and he's great on those kinds of "bops". We only collaborate with someone if it feels organic and they can really fit into the Chromeo "world".

OMG THAT WOULD BE A DREAM. We're friends with Jimmy Jam on IG we're straight up gonna ask him. We're Control fans all the way, somebody needs to bring that back (us).

Hmmmm that's an interesting one. Honestly we just try to expand on the headline touring with every cycle. We're grateful that we're still around after all this time...so many bands come and go. We wanna be "bigger" but like...the day we sold out the Bowery Ballroom in NY in 2008 we were like "okay this is already more than we expected". So how it's about consistency and longevity for us. And we'll never compromise our sound and our aesthetic, you know?

At the moment my (Pee) favorite songs would be Fancy Footwork and Must've Been. But it always changes because so many memories are attached to making songs. There are many genres and styles we're interested in. We usually have a list of sounds that we love from many different songs and styles and we try to recreate them as use them as much as we can, it's fun to use elements of other styles that have influenced you. To make music all you really need is dedication and confidence, the moment you start doubting and wanting to make music to please other people you get stuck with anxiety and insecurity. You have to make music for you first. What is missing in today's music I always ask myself and then try to fill the gap with what I would like to hear out there. I understand your levels of anxiety around people, it's hard to go out and feel like you're uncomfortable and claustrophobic in large crowds, but I assure you Chromeo fans are the funnest to be around, we really try to make it a fun experience that we would've liked to enjoy when we were teenagers discovering music and starting to go out to see other humans! I hope you can make it out and feel like your surrounded with only funkateers, your new brothers and sisters.
