Cassette Jam were propelled onto the Global Dance scene after winning the Cream International Search for a DJ Comp in 2006. They destroyed the competition with their unique eight decks and two mixer’s techno show. They travelled across four continents, smashing the biggest festivals and clubs to bits; with their infamous and energetic no holds barred approach to DJing.
Due to their unrivalled success as DJ’s, they were asked to lay down remixes for the likes of Alex Gopher, Ladytron, The Whip & Does It Offend You Yeah? amongst others. These remixes received plaudits and support from some of the scenes biggest players such as Erol Alkan, Annie Mac & Eddy Temple Morris. The tracks were smashing dance floors and radio shows (including Radio 1, XFM, Etc) across Europe.
The Natural progression from their standout remixes was laying down original material: and the boys dually obliged! They were offered a three-album deal just off the strength of four-track demo alone! Work has already started on the Album; it promises to shove a rocket up the music scenes arse.
This September their Debut Single ‘Retox’ is released, and followed up by ‘Don’t Lose Control With Remixes from Headman, Arveene, The Loose Cannons & Hot Pink DeLorean”. The album is due in 2009.
