“One two three, you and me, can you move to my velocity.”

Chromeo released their debut album, “Fancy Footwork,” in 2004 to critical acclaim. Ten years later, they’re still at the top of their game.

The Shrine Auditorium was filled with young teens wearing cut off shirts, gray haired old people rocking loafers and middle aged girls and guys holding plastic cups full of hopeful excitement.

By 8 p.m., the doors were open for all to dance around to the electric tunes of the opening acts: Doors, Wave Racer, and Mapei. Each artist gifted the crowd with a different vibe, smoothing their musical sensations for the main act.

The crowd was in full effect by the time the lights went out and reappeared to the bass heavy sounds of Chromeo. Fans danced as the veteran duo started the show off with, “Night by Night,” one of their biggest hits from their previous album, “Business Casual.”

The electric magnetic energy continued throughout the night with stellar hits such as “Somethinggood,” “Sexy Socialite,” and “Frequent Flyer.” As I looked around the diverse faces in the crowd, they all seemed to share the same expression of pure joy and excitement. It might have been the drinks that were served at the bar or the merchandise that were sold at reasonable prices. My guess is that the lights pumping out the stage to “Come Alive” and the sounds blaring from Chromeo’s guitar to “Fancy Footwork” had something to do with the non stop cheering and recited lyrics.

There were two highlights of the night: the first you might be a little jealous about and the second is going to require some shoulder exercise.

“Jealous,” the biggest song of the summer and Chromeo’s most played song on Spotify with nearly 20 million hits got the crowd moving in ways we had never seen before. This is one of our favorite songs.

If Daft Punk were there, I think they would have looked over their shoulder in utter shock. But good thing they weren’t because Chromeo front man, David Macklovitch, ordered every girl to be lifted up as he performed “Over Your Shoulder” from their latest album, “White Women.”

By midnight the show had to end to the crowd’s loud chants of an encore. In Chromeo fashion the band ended the night with the straightforward and quite clever song “Needy Girl.”
