Cassius: A Nostalgia that Beats and Grooves

Cassius album cover for Best of 1996-2019 compilation

Fans of the French duo Cassius will soon be able to relive their works in one collection. Yes, you heard right – they are dropping a greatest hits compilation this October!

A Groovy Comeback

Following the tragic death of Philippe Zdar at the age of 52 in 2019, the future of Cassius was as uncertain as a DJ's ability to remember where they parked their turntables. His passing cast a shadow over the scene, and partner Boombass kept things quieter than a rave at the end of a power outage. However, everything changed when Boombass took the stage in Paris for the Paralympics Closing Ceremony – talk about a comeback that hits harder than a bass drop!

“Music is our true connection, and this new album is proof, kind of like a vinyl that never skips!”

Melodies from the Past

The compilation, titled Best of 1996-2019, is set to drop on October 11th, marking the years they were active up until the sad farewell to Zdar. It's like a heart-shaped mixtape of their greatest hits!

  • Back in Action: Boombass penned a short story detailing elements of the Cassius saga. Imagine the wild interactions with Daft Punk members – it's like techno dancing with the legends!
  • Emotional Vibes: While this new collection won’t stitch up all the wounds of loss, it's a heartfelt tribute to their collaborative output. Think of it as therapy, wrapped up in beats!
  • Pre-Order Madness: Fans can pre-order a vinyl copy of Best of 1996-2019 right here, because let's be real, nothing beats the warmth of vinyl spinning on a turntable!
