P-Thugg and Dave are not your typical white bread musicians. They describe themselves as “the only successful Arab/Jew partnership since the dawn of human culture”. And there music is just as diverse. There new album Fancy Footwork can best be described as a little disco a little two-step and an overall feeling that you have to shake something your Mama gave you. Personal favorite is “needy girl”.

From there myspace,

Fancy Footwork, is quite simply the most smoothed-out, hook-heavy, unabashed lovers’ funk since…Chromeo’s last album, actually. What makes this footwork so fancy, you ask? Step the fuck off and open your heart to the finest distillation of Minneapolis groove this side of Mazarati. Dave and Pee are back in the ‘07 to heal the fractured soul of dance music. Teenage lovers, 20 something blogpoders, 30 something burn-out ex-raver “graphic designers” and 40 something sistas can all finally party under one roof…and that roof has a name, AND that roof is on fire, and the only ones who can put out that funk-fire also happen to be the guys the roof is named after: CHROMEO.
