Damn Cassius, you have given us a lot of consistently good dance music over the years. And in keeping with that tradition, Ed Banger Records have been kind enough to give use a bomb of a track from “toughest artist name to spell of the year” contenders Gesaffelstein, who paint the track with some dark staccato basslines and trippy synth leads.

The package also comes with a Skream remix, titled “Skream made Zdar feel like he was 20 again remix”, which may be a jab at the age of Cassius, or maybe just a good humored drum’n'bass style throwback to early 90s rave with a funny long name.

Bowski brings in his own vocalist (Tom Cowcher) to croon the falsetto swagger of “I <3 U So” and then gives a heartbreakingly good dancefloor friendly remix.

To round it off, you may have already witnessed the production video of L-Vis 1990′s “jam sesh” featuring The Neon Dreams Regeneration, comprised of Cubic Zirconia’s Nick Hook and Tiombe Lockhart & former L-VIS 1990 “Forever You” collaborator Javeon McCarthy.

Mighty Cassius are back with a vengeance and they almost cut off their hair in the process! Cassius is one of my favourite house groups and “Cassius ’99″ is such a big tune. But that was a long time ago and this EP takes their music in a new interesting direction. The a-side “Y,S,T,C” has been out for a while but we get to share this dub of the b-side. The new EP “Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes” is released tomorrow. Pick it up on iTunes when it drops!

The classic French house duo Cassius just finished their “Cassius Play” mix for Nike+ (you might remember the much talked about LCD Soundsystem “45:33″ mix in the same series, the idea is to make a continous track that would suit runners ie music fitting for a 7 min warm up, 30 min run and 7 min cool down). We here at Discobelle received a promo package with a video and two excerpts from the mix.
