" Chromeo will play at the Coachella music festival this month. Their third album, Business Casual, came out last year. A long time before most people knew about Chromeo, I think it was either 2002 or 2003, we went to see DFA and they did a remix of one of our singles. We actually didn&amp;#039;t like it. [laughs] We really didn&amp;#039;t like it at first. And then everybody started playing it. It was, like, way less funky than the other stuff [Murphy] had done \u2014 it was an almost industrial-sounding remix, and I remember he was like, Don&amp;#039;t worry, everybody&amp;#039;s going to play that. And actually, I remember that summer, we were touring Europe, and we were hearing it everywhere. So it worked. Every time we&amp;#039;ve seen them since, they&amp;#039;ve been cool. In more musical terms, LCD is one of the bands that we look up to. There&amp;#039;s not that many people doing funky music nowadays, you know? To me, LCD Soundsystem is a funk band. A lot of people see other influences in their music, whether it&amp;#039;s a Talking Heads thing or a post-punk thing, but we don&amp;#039;t know much about those other musical traditions that he draws from, but I can hear the funk, you know what I&amp;#039;m saying? My relationship is, I&amp;#039;m a fan. I like the stuff. My jam is &amp;quot;Disco Infiltrator.&amp;quot; When I heard that, I guess this was really the one joint where I was like, Okay. [laughs] As a musician, sometimes you hear something by another band and you&amp;#039;re like, all right, time to make a new album, time to get back to work.
