I first came in touch with Cassius during Notting Hill Carnival in 2006. I haven't experienced haze (pollution caused by burning rain forest in Sumatra) yet over here in Malaysia, but the dark clouds rising from the tons of jerked chicken - this is how it must be!
Although the least you expect is to hear electronic music at this festival (all entrances are packed with huge sound systems with incredible loud speakers playing Dancehall and Reggae music - even "PowPow Movement" from Cologne came!) it was there - one tiny stage and it attracted the masses more than any of the other stages. That time they played "Toop Toop" and it caught me from the spot. After months it was still in my head and finally I figured out that it was done by "Cassius" and released from the album called "15 again". Only then I realised that there are plenty of other good songs by Cassius.
Cassius consists of the two French DJ's "Zdar" & "Boom Bass" and was founded in 1996. "Toop Toop" was released prior to their third album "15 again" in late summer 2006. One of my favourite songs from this very diversified album is "Jack Rock".
