What up? I'm Dave from Chromeo, joined by my homie P over there. And you are watching Young Hollywood Backstage Diaries.

So we're at the Hollister House today, um, in a gorgeous location in Santa Monica. And we got to DJ for like a, a really, um, intimate audience, and it feels nice to have that direct contact. That's why you saw us take all the pictures outside because we actually miss it, you know?

Alright. How's it going? We never get to hang out like this. This is kind of nice. We're Hollister Housing it up tonight. I like the female to male ratio. All right, let's get this started.

It it's an amazing experience to be able to expose people to this kind of music that we really, um, worship and that we really sort of cultivate. But at the same time, they don't need to understand the inner workings of it necessarily, you know, it's not like, to like Chromeo, you don't really need to know what a Talkbox is or what a Mini Moog synthesizer is. It we, we sort of see it as, we leave it, we leave the door open, you know, if, if, if people want to learn about that, then our music and and kind of our band and our videos are a good portal to have access to that knowledge. But if you just want to enjoy our music and have fun, there's enough kind of, we hope at least that there's enough fun and humor and good times and groovy dance tunes in what we do.

What's great about the Talkbox is that people can actually see what that sounds like, because there's so many misconceptions about the robot voice quote unquote. When people see the tube, automatically they, they wanna know more about it.

I mean a lot of it comes from the appreciation that we built ourselves and kind of the, the, the, uh, respect and that the respect that we got from our peers was super motivating in the early days, 'cause like P said, you know, in a like early on, early on in the band, some critics were skeptical about us and I mean we, we had like a core of fans, but and it kept growing especially with social media that was right, like emerging right at that time. But some critics were skeptical, but our peers in music loved what we did. So that motivated us.

Thank you so much. This is Chromeo and you just watched our Backstage Diary at the Hollister House. Hollister. Hollister. One, two, three. Hollister House.
