CAZZETTE – The Start of a New Chapter; An Interview

cazzette_raannt

CAZZETTE is entering a new chapter in their musical career and we’re extremely lucky to get an insight into the details. Their music and the touring has become more of a platform for the duo to present their new tracks and mixes, connect with their fans and learn from the scene to create a sound that, as electronic music fans, we haven’t heard before. Their energy is perfect and we couldn’t be more excited about our interview with them. Check out CAZZETTE:

cazzette 1_raannt

Introduce each other using 5 words or less.
Music-loving, hardworking, humorous

What should CAZZETTE fans expect from your shows?
We love all sorts of electronic music; therefore, we try to incorporate as much of it as possible into our shows. We play everything from deep to tech house to trap. We never understood the concept of playing the same kind of songs for two hours.

Favorite point of your set and why?
Playing our own unreleased songs is always an amazing feeling. When people dance to a song they don’t know the title to or have never heard before and yet dance, is incredible. We also a have a few crazy bootlegs that always goes off and its really fun to know that the crowd has no clue what is going to come next.

cazzette 2_raannt

If you could work with any musician, dead or alive, who would you pick and why?
J. Dilla, John Lennon and Michael Jackson. Do we really have to explain why?

How do you guys define sexy?
There are many different kinds of sexy. Personality is a huge turn on, but if one is dressed like Kermit the Frog, that doesn’t really help for “sexy” in specific.

What is the sexiest club? City? Hotel? Music festival? Current track?
We feel like clubs in general are pretty “un-sexy,” but we always have a great time at LAVO in NYC. New York would also be the hottest city for us right now. Unfortunately, we have not been to Paris yet. Also, the St. Paul Hotel in Montreal is really nice and kind of has a minimalistic, sexy look. Festivals are defiantly not sexy. The sexiest track at the moment is Prince – “Funknroll.”

What’s your favorite part about touring?
Besides sharing our music with the world, we get to see beautiful cities, eat great food, watch inspiring fashion and meet new people all the time. It’s truly a blessing.

Top 3 things each of you must have backstage?
Coconut water, champagne and tequila.

Out of all your tracks, which one is your favorite and why?
“Sleepless” is our favorite because it represents a new chapter of Cazzette and was a turning point for us after a time of confusion.

What are your three simple luxuries?
Friends, family and humor.

D.O.D. is The Music Man of Jump Up Electro! An Interview

d.o.d. 1_raannt

We caught the D.O.D.’s set at TomorrowWorld day 1 and this cat blew us out of the water! The vibe, the beats, the drops, the energy… absolutely Incredible! We had the pleasure to catch up with the killer DJ and ask him a few questions raannt style! Check him out:

d.o.d. 3_raannt

Introduce yourself in 5 words or less.

I am the music man.

How would you define your sound?

Jump-Up Electro.

What is something about you we wouldn’t know by looking at you?

I’m a stamp collector…Not really! Errrm, I have an obsession with drinking tea. English breakfast is my fave!

If you could work with any 3 DJ/Musician, dead or alive, who would they be and why?

Liam Howlett from the prodigy for being such a dance music pioneer in the 90’s.

DJ Q-Bert for breaking boundaries as a DJ and showing the world stuff on the turntables that no one could have ever though of.

Lauryn Hill the way she sang in the 90’s. I bet she’d do a killer vocal!

d.o.d. 2_raannt

How do you define sexy?

Natural beauty! Not about the fake eyelashes and the makeup that looks like it has been caked on by Steve Aoki. Sexy isn’t someone who flaunts it in my opinion. Obviously a little bit of cheekiness doesn’t go a miss though!

What do you think is the sexiest city? Hotel? Club? Festival? Music Track?

City: Manchester, UK.
Hotel: Mondrian South Beach Hotel – Miami, USA
Club: Amnesia – Ibiza, Spain
Festival: Tomorrowland – Boom, Belgium
Track: Chris Lake – Oh Shhh (Original Mix)

What’s next for D.O.D?

Music, music and more music! I’ve been working my ass off this month. Testing the water with some fresh sounding music. Trying to stay one step ahead of the game. Still doing what I’m doing not but trying to push boundaries and make some more ‘intelligent’ sounding dance music. I’ve also got some big collabs coming up with the likes of Laidback Luke, Borgore, DJ Bl3nd, Sandro Silva + more! Going to be a very busy year of releases!

What are your three simple luxuries?

My three simple luxuries are my computer, my speakers and tea. I LOVE TEA.
