GIRL TALK

  • Girl Talk (aka Pittsburgh's Gregg Gillis) has been constructing meticulous sample-based music since 2000. His early work was known for its raw experimental nature, but by the release of his 2006 album, Night Ripper, that style evolved into genre-smashing, breakneck-paced party jams. Night Ripper consisted of over 300 songs, from wildly disparate Top 40 genres and eras, mashed up and layered together into one cohesive collage. It received critical acclaim, and the attention resulted in a rapidly growing fan base. Gillis ended up quitting his biomedical engineering day job one year later.


    Girl Talk continued to develop his signature style with the release of Feed the Animals in 2008 and All Day in 2010. Each album grew increasingly detailed and complex. He steadily toured over the following years, bringing his renowned confetti-covered and sweat-soaked performances to venues ranging from house party basements to major festivals. By 2014, Gillis began focusing on collaborative work producing hip hop for some of his favorite rap artists. That same year, he released "Broken Ankles," an EP with Freeway. Since "Broken Ankles," Gillis has steadily earned an impressive list of production credits and collaborations with his artistic contemporaries including, but not limited to, Wiz Khalifa, T-Pain, Tory Lanez, Young Nudy, Bas, Cozz, Erick The Architect (from Flatbush Zombies), Smoke DZA, and Don Q.

CHROMEO

  • Chromeo is back, and they’ve got the perfect record for you. Adult Contemporary isn’t just an album title—it’s a redefinition of the term itself. While "adult contemporary" often evokes a sense of complacency, Dave 1 and P-Thugg inject it with sophistication, groove, and timeless funk. For Chromeo, adulthood isn’t about settling down; it’s about evolving, staying stylish, and, most importantly, keeping the funk alive.

    At its core, Adult Contemporary is a 14-track meditation on modern relationships. Songs like BTS explore the real-life moments of love, like realizing that sometimes rest is “Better Than Sex.” Personal Effects captures nostalgia in a single detail—finding a forgotten phone charger left behind by a former partner. Across the album, Chromeo masterfully balances humor and heart, dissecting everything from joyful commitment to crippling co-dependency. There’s no irony here—just honest, straight-faced storytelling.

    Musically, Adult Contemporary blends the new with the old in a way only Chromeo can. From lush horn arrangements on Words With You to the electrifying synths of (I Don’t Need A) New Girl, the duo crafts an album that is both danceable and refined. This time around, it’s just Dave and Pee—no guest features, just two lifelong best friends at the peak of their powers. The result? A deeply personal, ambitious, and undeniably funky record.

    In a world obsessed with nostalgia and instant gratification, Chromeo reminds us that true artistry lies in both honoring the past and pushing forward. Adult Contemporary is more than just an album; it’s an invitation to embrace adulthood with style, confidence, and a killer groove. So go on—take the plunge into the infinity pool of maturity, and let Chromeo be your guide.
