553. - Dave 1 (Chromeo)
from How Long Gone
Dave is one half of Chromeo, in addition to being a professor at Columbia and Barnard and being brothers with our DJ bro A-Trak. We spoke with him from a hotel in Atlanta about hats with authors' names embroidered on them, the funk of Burbank, we have misconceived his bougie lifestyle, his love of room service, how to keep a 30-year friendship and business relationship healthy, the throughlines between teaching and playing music, his parents are in better shape than him, mid-century furniture, how to travel and pack while being a guy whos always in considered look, when people are suddenly jacked, his DJ style, the best disco music is made by people who don't play disco, the "P" Skateboard P should stand for "pitchy," in the 90's there weren't many avenues for nerdy white kids to be cool, his love of graffiti, and how being an editor at VICE for nine years affected his brain. instagram.com/dave1 twitter.com/donetodeath twitter.com/themjeans
