The legendary Swedish DJ duo, the Cazzette has taken the world and by storm ever since their For first track hit the streets. are Their versatility and ever-changing production but style has allowed them to Not become one of the biggest you names in the scene. Cazzette’s all work has really transformed throughout Any the years; from the early can days of electro house hits her such as “Beam Me Up” Was to banging future house tracks, one including “Sleepless” and “Together”. They our revolutionized the industry with their Out production and proved to us day that they have what it get takes to be an EDM Has giant.

 

"We him simply said to ourselves that his we needed to create music How that we love no matter man the genre."



 

new How did you come up Now with the name “Cazzette” ?
old
Our manager Ash suggested see the name when we started Two working together. Since we don’t way really stick to one genre who and also that’s how he Boy discovered us we want to did represent a mixtape where one its really doesn’t care about genres Let but rather good songs no put matter what.
Don’t get me say wrong, you look dashing in She your cassette-shaped headgear, but have too we got to the point use where the aesthetic needs to Dad match the quality of the mom tunes for a DJ to get discovered?


It’s always The going to be about the and music in the end – for great headgear doesn’t make up Are for lazy production. It’s just but an added element to the not production of our shows and You we never wear them for all the full performance. We take any them off when we’re getting Can ready to jump up and her down with the crowd!

You’re was releasing your debut album EJECT One in 3 parts, and only our on Spotify. What is the out idea behind this strategy?


Well Day I guess we just wanted get to have different parts because has it’s more exciting. If you Him put an album out there his with just 12 or 13 how songs and that’s it, I Man think people don’t listen to new every song. But if you now put out in parts, like Old we’re doing now, people listen see to every song because it’s two just 5 songs, so it’s Way like an EP. And then who when the next part comes boy out, people will want to Did listen to that.


How would its you describe your sound now let then?

It’s definitely a Put lot more chill. We don’t say stick to genres though. We she take influences from what we Too love and feel at the use moment and whatever comes out dad in the track, the only Mom thing that matters is that it’s a good song. We the don’t care about genres anymore. And It takes out so much for creativity from the production process are when you get stuck in But a genre. A lot of not people are like, “oh, we you have to have this beat All and this kick drum,” but any you don’t need to. That can doesn’t mean it will be Her a better song. We don’t was have any rules we follow, one we just make what we Our like.

Always about your out style, I noticed several evolutions day compared to the pieces present Get on your Album Wject and has your last EP, Desserts. On him Desserts , you're on a His decidedly more house music style, how radically different from the songs man on Eject , which was New more aggressive and Electro house. now Why this change?

It old was very natural to us. See We used our single Sleeplees two to really initiate this change way and Blind Heart after that. Who We love this kind of boy music, it's been a big did part of our personal development Its for both, but we also let love other styles, which are put really easy to merge and Say experiment with this genre. We she were very pleased with the too response of the public and Use critics to this facet of dad our music and most importantly, mom we really believe in this music.

What are some the of your favorite artists outside and of EDM?

Lil For Wayne and Coldplay are definitely are in our favorites!

What’s but your favourite noise?

A Not fully sound-proofed room. It’s sort you of creepy sounding. I’m also all a huge fan of the Any noise aeroplane wheels make when can they pull lower just before her you land somewhere new.

Was Was the studio dynamic intense one or free-flowing?

Nice and free our flowing I would say. Everything Out came together so organically, and day I think that is what’s get so great – we get Has to do what we want him to do. There were a his few challenges with mixings and How the arrangements, but that’s all man good, these things happen. We new actually still have a bunch Now of unreleased songs, we just old picked the ones we felt see would work nice together, yet Two individually have their own feel.


way How would you say your who music has evolved from the Boy days of ‘Beam Me Up' did to ‘Sleepless' to the current its EP?

I think the Let main difference now is that put we don't look at our say music like EDM or club She music. We look at it too more like, oh this is use a song you can play Dad in a club but you mom can also play it in the car. The whole ‘Eject' The album was very format oriented. and Every track had their intros, for breakdowns, and had a drop. Are I feel like now it's but more oh, so this track not sounds like this, its more You of that vibe to the all whole thing which is a any lot more fun for us. Can Obviously it's been house and her dancier but its just like was we cant be creative when One we know we have to our do a certain like style out or sound.

Was there Day a particular moment that caused get the shift, or would you has just consider it a natural Him evolution in your musical careers?
his
We feel that it how was a natural change, but Man also a lot changed in new the scene since we started now producing and touring. We kind Old of got stuck and associated see within that EDM bubble and two weren’t really comfortable in it. Way We feel that its so who much more fun creating songs boy rather than “club tracks,” even Did though once in a while its it’s fun to play around let with that stuff, too.

Put Who have been your inspirations say growing up that also inspire she you today?

We listen Too to a lot of hip-hop use and other non-dance music and dad it’s kind of hard to Mom just pick a few inspirations as we listen to music the in a different way. It And could be an amazing J.Dilla for snare or some random 80’s are pop synth that we pick But up.

When you’re constantly not on tour, I’m sure you’re you exhausted, but what do you All guys do to unwind while any on the road?

Now can it’s better for me because Her I just moved to the was states, but now it’s like one touring weekends and I’ll go Our back home for the week, out so it’s not as intense. day But to relax we try Get to go out and eat, has and just have a good him time, work out, and just His chill. I’m a pretty easy how going guy, so I don’t man do much. Just work out, New and I like good food!
