When Chromeo rolled onto the scene sporting jeweled grills and gangsta attitudes while fronting a synth-funk outfit, it was impossible to take their straight-faced approach seriously.

How can a pimped-out Zapp be treated with a modicum of respect?

Apparently, the duo spit in the wind of conventional wisdom and are brash enough to catch the saliva boomerang on their tongues ’cause they don’t give a shit what you think, son.

Chromeo’s latest Fancy Footwork is the aural equivalent of slyly bringing a skirt-wearing pantyless girl to orgasm on the dance floor through deft digital moves.

It’s crass and trashy, but if you have the balls and the skills to pull it off, she’ll melt in your hands. Almost literally. (Joshua Valocchi)
