Cassius

Synth-pop
Synth-pop

Cassius is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Narcotic Thrust, Gwen McCrae, Leroy Burgess, Oliver Koletzki and Ed Banger Records. Those roots explain a lot about how Cassius arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Modjo, Alex Gopher, Fred Falke, Mr. Oizo and Myd, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Hot Chip, Joachim Garraud, DJ Mehdi, JAY-Z and Kanye West, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 50 connections around Cassius, reaching back through Narcotic Thrust and forward to Hot Chip.
