Michael Cassette Bio
The violin, Michael’s secret love, is the source for his vivid, classical sense for melodies and for his enormously wide and detailed harmonic palette.
Michael Cassette is the infamous 80s-inspired electronic producer who chooses anonymity over publicity. He seeks refuge in his studio, basking in the bright, neon sparkle of retro synths and soaking up the warm embrace of classic analogue grooves.
After graduating from a music academy as a fully licensed violin player, it didn’t take long until Michael’s attention was captured by another passion, the synthesizer. In late 2005 Michael Cassette teamed up with the producers Komytea to create some of the most inspiring and touching music for the global dancefloors. Since emerging with the huge ‘Shadow’s Movement’ in 2007, he has become a revered force amongst electronic music lovers who yearn for the nostalgic feel-good factor of the 80s. DJs like Eric Prydz, James Zabiela, Laurent Garnier and SOS have all lauded his unique ability to transform past musical memories into moments of contemporary club magic, disco blogs and dance music bibles (Mixmag, DJMagazine and iDJ) have given him glowing reviews, while Anjunadeep continue to celebrate him as their most unique and promising studio talent.
The essence of Michael Cassette’s sound lies in the combination of vintage hardware and the latest technology. The Violin, Michael’s secret love, is the source for his vivid, classical sense for melodies and for his enormously wide and detailed harmonic palette.
In mid 2010 Michael Cassette finished his debut album titled “Temporarity”. The album as well as all Michael’s music is dedicated to the memory of his older brother David who inspired Michael with his genuine love of music. Combining up-to-the-minute production techniques with retro influences and nostalgic, melancholic melodies, the music of Michael Cassette is nothing if not unique.
Michael Cassette (LIVE) is a unique new concept act comprised of live performance and visuals. Not to be missed.
