Cassian  

These days you’re as likely to catch Cassian Stewart-Kasimba (one of the only names that also actually works as a production name) in the studio as you are playing a gig, or on a flight on the way to playing one. He’s a busy man but with good reason in light of the fact that his mellow and funky disco sound, with a bounce factor that puts him between the usual from G.L.O.V.E.S and Shazam, has been coming increasingly into favour over the last couple of years, just now reaching a high point.

Apart from being with the Bang Gang crew on the domestic side of things since what seems like ages, the differentiating factor here is the properly robust international following that Cassian attracts. The candle burns bright in continental Europe and particularly West coast America, where he’s a kind of de facto ringleader along with U-Tern, Plastic Plates and the like of a disco movement sweeping away the harder tendencies of old.
