CHROMEO MIX TAPE

Here's a track by track blow by blow written by Chromeo:

SIDE A1. Me & My Man Whitey Remix

Everyone's favorite. Nuff said.
2. Needy Girl Bloc Party Remix

Russell finessed this one. You got the Blue Monday drums, a gritty bassline, and it's all topped off by a feel-good chord change at the end. We still owe those guys a remix.
3. You're So Gangsta Playgroup Remix

This one is special. Our first ever remix, courtesy of England's Larry David: Trevor Jackson. The music sounds like slowed down hip house, mixed with Gwen Guthrie's "Nothing Going On But The Rent". Bonanas. The vocal you hear is the full lyrics that were initially recorded, before we decided to just keep one line when the album came out two years later. We threw this one on in Turkey a couple of months ago and the crowd still went nuts.
4. Rage! Stretch Armstrong Remix

Ayo Stretch, what happened to Queensbridge? What's up with Tragedy Khadafi? Where's CNN, dunny? Is that really a fauxhawk?
SIDE B1. Me & My Man Juan McLean Remix

The drum sounds on this are crazy. We can imagine cool people dancing to this, something which we've never seen because we stay at home listening to Gerard Levert "Casanova" all day.
2. Needy Girl Paper Faces Remix

Our manager Gil is responible for this one. He put it out on a single in the UK and it probably sold more over there than our album. And while we're on the topic of Paper Faces, let's give it up to the Rythmes Digitales album for starting this whole 80s shit.
3. Destination: Overdrive DFA Remix

Not exactly what we were expecting from those guys. Then we saw hundreds of chavs transing out to this when Optimo was playing it at V Festival, and we were like "ok, we get it".
4. Rage! Riton Remix

Intense!
