Cassius is set to release a comprehensive compilation album, ‘Cassius – Best Of 1996-2019.’ Launching on October 11, 2024, through LOVESUPREME/Justice, this collection offers a nostalgic journey through the duo’s illustrious career.
‘Best Of 1996-2019’ features 20 tracks, available on vinyl and digital platforms, with three tracks making their digital debut. The album serves as a musical timeline, chronicling Cassius’ evolution from their debut track ‘Dinapoly’ in October 1996 to their later hits. The compilation showcases beloved singles such as ‘Cassius 1999,’ ‘I <3 U SO,’ ‘Toop Toop,’ and ‘Don’t Let Me Be’ from their 2019 album ‘Dreems.’
Cassius, the duo comprised of producers Philippe ‘Zdar’ Cerboneschi and Hubert ‘Boombass’ Blanc-Francard, created an innovative sound that played a pivotal role in shaping the ‘French Touch’ movement.
Tragically, Philippe Zdar passed away unexpectedly in 2019, leading to a hiatus for the Cassius name. This compilation marks a poignant return, being the first release under the Cassius moniker since Zdar’s passing.
To commemorate this significant release, Boombass has penned an exclusive short story titled ‘How Do You See Me Now?’. Fans can read it here.
