Cassius To Play Bang The Box
aaamusic | On 29, Jan 2011
Bang The Box have just announced that pioneering French house duo Cassius will be joining their label mates, DJ Mehdi and Busy P, to form an absolutely incredible line-up for the first party at XOYO on Saturday 5th February.
Cassius return with a new single, ‘I <3 U So’ on the 28th of Feb. The single in its original form is a giddy concoction of vocal samples and dubstep-influenced beats. The cream of the electronic crop have been enlisted to reassemble the Cassius originals, with Skream and Bowski on duty here, and L Vis 1990 & Neon Dreams and Gesaffelstein re-imagining ‘Shark Simple’ and ‘Les enfants’.
Skream stamps his trademark style on ‘I <3 U So’ by laying down an incessant kick-drum and at mid-way point introducing scaling synths and casio chords which catapult the track into a space-age arena. The results take the song into the realms of rave anthem and the remix was debuted on Annie Mac’s New Year’s Eve show, since being championed in all of the most exulted dance circles and C-listed on Radio 1.
This is Ed Banger’s exclusive London show for their “Let the Children Techno” tour compilation release.
