Cassius is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Ed Banger Records, Narcotic Thrust, Gwen McCrae, Leroy Burgess and Oliver Koletzki. Those roots explain a lot about how Cassius arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Modjo, Alex Gopher, Myd, Justice and Armand van Helden, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into DJ Mehdi, Hot Chip, Joachim Garraud, JAY-Z and Kanye West, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 44 connections around Cassius, reaching back through Ed Banger Records and forward to DJ Mehdi.
