Cassy

Review: Former Panorama Bar resident and local Berlin fixture Cassy Britton presents her first full length release since giving up her residency and leaving Europe's clubbing capital for the sunny shores of Los Angeles. The Donna LP features some dusty classic house sounds of the deeper spectrum, as heard previously on her eponymous imprint, Uzuri or Perlon sporadically over the last 10 years and her great vocals which veer from spoken word, haunting/monotone to high pitched diva moves are a constant throughout. Highlights for us were the uplifting deep disco of "All I Do", the soulful deep funk on her cover of Prince's "Strange Relationship" or the emotive yet tough techno of "Move".

Review: Tech-house queen Cassy aka Catherine Britton launches her own label, Kwench, after a decade of non-stop hits for the likes of Perlon, Uzuri and Aus Music. She has already launched her own imprint, Cassy, but this feels like a much more all-encompassing affair, teaming up with new talents and working on new beats for the next decade. The artists collaborates with Demuir on this new EP, opening the festivities with the relentless loops of "Stand Up (Your Life)", a bass-heavy looper for the big room! "Please Me" is an utter beauty, charged and driven forwards by a fuzzy bass loop that keeps on giving, whereas "Love Me - Now" turns to the deeper end of the house spectrum, bouncing back and forth with a magnetic - and utterly funky - bassline.
