Credit to Cassius for making this a timeless classic that continues to demand remake and remix year after year, and this round we have the rising NYC star Treasure Fingers taking a stab. A piano-driven, funky house-focused reinterpretion that balances the infectious vocal over various synth key sequences, guitar licks, and an overall feeling that has got us thinking this sound that TF is championing could have won us over 10 years ago. Its funny how electronic music can remake itself and push the innovation bar, yet re-visit tried and true formulas all at once… Read more

Liberté, égalité, fraternité: call it the motto of the DJ supergroup known as Club 75. Its members—Justice‘s Xavier de Rosnay, Busy P, DJ Mehdi, and Cassius‘ Zdar and Boombass—came together in 2004 for a no-holds-barred throwdown they described as simply “a bunch of friends, no musical limits, backstage-on-stage”.
They revived the concept (if a bunch of bros getting wasted on the decks can really be called a “concept”) last fall at Paris’ Social Club, and this year—perhaps having found the Social Club’s DJ booth too crowded for five lanky dudes—they took the spectacle to the considerably roomier Coachella festival.
Right now, Philippe Zdar is a happy man – even a hefty bout of bronchitis can’t disguise that. Zdar (real name Philippe Cerboneschi) says the seven year wait to finish his studio, situated in the elegant Parisian district of Montmartre, has been worth every minute. Already the likes of The Rapture, Chromeo and Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke are taking advantage of the Frenchman’s production and mixing nous. Having made his name as one half of Cassius, Zdar made a stunning return to form last year with his production work on Phoenix’s Grammy winning Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, as well as his own double-sided EP as Cassius (with Hubert “Boom Bass” Blanc-Francard), which was fronted by “Youth, Speed Trouble Cigarettes,” a guitar-driven, fist-pumping electronica anthem. In a revealing interview, Philippe tells Juno Plus about his current slew of production work and admits his frustration at Cassius’ small back catalogue. Oh, and there’s even a baby Zdar on the way…
As reported on the French blog Mehdipedia…new single & label business inside!
