Had to get a quick post out before my midterm. This week’s been stressful as fuck, but this isn’t a place for complaining. This is a place to get raped. Yes. Raped by the massive wave of good music that I’ve been stumbling on lately. This song “Feelings for You” in particular…the original and respective remixes. A vocal sample that trumps all that I’ve ever heard in any house song (except for the Moonchild remix of “Physical”). I love the vocal samples in house songs. Always uplifting. Always trying to share the pain, telling you you’re not alone. This song will have you singing with it at the top of your lungs. No homo, but seriously. This song is sure to be a house anthem for decades to come.

This throws me off though…Avicii and Sebastien Drums took this song and undoubtedly beefed it up to have a more big room, housy feel and titled it as (Original Mix) like it’s their song. Cassius created this groundbreaking original, and I don’t want anyone to think otherwise. These pioneers of house music shouldn’t have been left out of the title, but what do I know. Regardless, I’ll tell you what I know: this song jams…and this video is tight as hell:

In the world of French/Disco House, the name Cassius is synonymous with that of Daft Punk and Stardust. They’ve been in the game since the late 80s and early 90s. A time where America wasn’t ready for such uplifting and soulful beats, where French House was making its way through the European borders and onward through the rest of the galaxy. Daft Punk in the cockpit and Cassius manning the lasers. My appreciation began when I saw them perform with Busy P, Justice, and DJ Mehdi at Coachella as the supergroup: Club 75. (Crazy good stuff. Highly recommend seeing them if they’re around.)

Later that year they released The Rawkers EP under Busy P’s Ed Banger Records. Overall I’d give that EP a 7, but with tracks like “I Love U So” you can see they haven’t lost it. OH! They’ve also helped produce tracks for Phoenix, Chromeo, and Cut Copy and if that doesn’t do it for ya then what are you doing here!
