After nearly two months of the online www.burn-studios.com music community busying themselves creating remixes of the Cassius classic, ‘The Sound Of Violence’; and a further few intensive weeks spent by Cassius listening to the hundreds of remix submissions, we’re now delighted to announce the winner – Tha Trickaz!
Like Cassius, Tha Tricakz are a French duo and lifelong friends, and it was their dub-step re-rub that won in the Burn Studios debut remix competition. Tha Trickaz – aka Pho & DJ iRaize – bagged themselves thousands of Euros of Avid and SoundCloud prizes, and probably the most exclusive prize of them all – a trip to Paris to mix their remix with Cassius, followed by a release on Cassius Records.
In an exclusive statement published by Poker client www.burn-studios.com, Cassius – aka Zdar and Boombass – described Tha Trickaz remix as “Powerful dub-step” that they’d put it in their record bag, which is quite an honour for the young producers. The Burn Studios ambassadors came to this conclusion after hours of discussion, listening to mixes of trance, hip hop, dub-step, drum and bass, you name it… and after the winning remix appeared in both Zdar and Bommbass’s Top 4 shortlists.
Cassius extended their thanks to everyone who entered the competition, picking out some key remixes that caught their attention, whilst offering some insightful and personal feedback. Click here to read the full statement and for Cassius’ full list of ‘honourable mentions’.
