Here's What Chromeo's Dave 1 Is Currently Obsessed With

Welcome to VICE News' new culture series "Currently Obsessed," where tastemakers from the worlds of music, film, TV, art, and public life tell us what they’re consuming - or what’s consuming them - right now, and why.
To kick off the series, we tapped David Macklovitch, better known as Dave 1, or half of the electro-funk duo Chromeo. (The other half is Patrick “P-Thugg” Gemayel.)
Known for injecting humor and gags into their music, Chromeo featured long legs and high heels, including their own, on each of their last four album covers: Fancy Footwork, Head Over Heels, Business Casual, and White Women.
As for Dave 1's own guilty pleasures? Watch to find out.
Chromeo's latest album, Head Over Heels, received a Grammy nod for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The group released a video for their single “Don't Sleep” in December.

“When we started this band, we wanted to take guilty pleasures, we wanted to make those songs that everyone actually loves. We wanted to give that genre of music its kind of nobility again.”

[@marymorris8442]

Really really really really like. LOL I found you from the dude that asked you, "What Do you Do for Work?" You are so handsome, talented, and smart all wrapped up in one man. Good luck Dave 1.

[@kittenmoney]

He’s so gorgeous

[@enemywithin1295]

I absolutely adore Chromeo and Dave 1, but I've always thought his taste in rap is absolute shit. He said he was embarrassed about listening to Rita Ora, I'd be more embarrassed listening to Tekashi69

[@giuliasohm5357]

Really inspiring thanks for that, i also enjoy that guy. He's very calm and seems like a nice guy

[@ErickD1XD]

I dont understand why people are hating. Someone care to explain?

[@dorobo81]

I wanted to dismiss him at first but there is so much new content produced that it is very interesting to hear peoples tastes and how they differ from my own.

[@ninety_three_93]

how you gonna dismiss chromeo? do you not know who they are?? check their most recent albums, you might like a song or two.

[@markvenuto9383]

@@ninety_three_93 bro, chromeo is dope, but y'all gotta chill. he didn't even criticize them.
