Brand new Chromeo video and tour dates for 2008

Chromeo Premieres Fancy Footwork Video, Announces West Coast July Tour And Shuts Down Every North American Festival This Summer.

Giant, menacing legs? A David Lynch floor? A spectacular tango dance? P-Thugg wearing a tuxedo? Sounds like a new Chromeo video! Check out the curiously elegant clip for Fancy Footwork, premiered exclusively on Myspace this week.

Straight from their searing Coachella performance, P-Thugg and Dave 1, better known as Chromeo gear up to take on the summer festival circuit, announce their own summer tour of the West Coast and prepare to take to the outdoor stage for a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on June 17th.

“Coachella was winding down. Then an odd chant, coming from the last tent: ‘Chro-MEE-oh, OOOOOOoooo,’ followed by a blast of light that revealed a solid third of festival population… Dave 1 and P-Thugg blasted their Prince-biting electrofunk to the metal rafters, earning their billing for the night, and leaving no question that they weren't just fluffers for the act to follow.” -LA WEEKLY ON CHROMEO’S 2008 COACHELLA PERFORMANCE

Of note is the June 17th release date of Chromeo’s much anticipated, re-release, Fancy Footwork: Deluxe Edition (Turbo / Last Gang).

About Turbo Recordings:
After a brief hiatus in ’05, while label-head Tiga took time out to sex the world with his first album, Turbo Recordings relaunched in 2006, and has since pumped out 20 top-notch records by the likes of Boys Noize, Chromeo, Proxy, d.i.m, Sweetlight and ZZT, among others.

Turbo marks it’s 10 year anniversary in 2008, celebrating a decade of pioneering techno with a global campaign starting in North America, following through to Japan, china, Australia, and Europe.

An upcoming retrospective CD, the re-release of Tiga&Zyntherius uber-hit ‘Sunglasses at Night’, and a new LP by Russian rave czar Proxy are just of few of the highlights from what is sure the biggest year in Turbo history.
