I saw Cassius live at Showcase in Paris, France. The venue was packed with eager crowds waiting for the show to get under way. When the lights dimmed and Cassius (members Philippe Zdar and Boom Bass) took to stage and began playing their smooth electronica and house sound a new energy came to the venue. In such a cool French venue with the light production Cassius created a truly chilled dance atmosphere. Songs such as ‘The Sound of Violence’, ‘I Love U So’ and ‘Les Enfants’ in particular brought the crowd to life. The racing beats and electronic melodies of ‘I Love U So’ partnered with the over- layered vocals filled the room with reverberating music. While the slightly eighties dance beats and synth melodies of ‘Les Enfants’ created swirling, trippy layers of sound. The crowd couldn’t stop dancing and Cassius were kind enough to play extended mixes – they were clearly enjoying themselves on the turntables. Amidst the light and smoke there was a brilliant party atmosphere. I will definitely try to catch Cassius live again because they brought such a funky, dance vibe to the evening. My highlights were probably ‘Toop Toop’ and ‘Feeling For You’- two brilliant house tracks.
