Him_Self_Her

House music with Feeling….
Few electronic artists have experienced such a meteoric rise into the spotlight, as male/female production duo Leon Baggotts & Claire Spooner, AKA Him_Self_Her.
The pair had clocked up almost ten years of hard graft as solo artists; DJing in sweaty back rooms, plastering Leicester city centre with posters and struggling against a tired Midlands club scene, before they made the life changing decision to work together.

Cassian

It’s been a year since Cassian’s last EP. And where has the kid with that haircut been? He’s been in the busy, that’s where he’s been. The lead single ‘I Like What You’re Doing’ has already been premiered on BBC Radio 1 by Jaymo & Andy George as part of their “Picks of 2011” show. It takes on the form of a powerhouse party psalm. Charged by an ever-familiar bassline and anthemic vocal performed by a shadowy, old-school Australian music identity. It’s turned into an 80’s fire-funk workout by Lorenz Rhode on his ‘Dangerous Mix’ and a filtered robo-haus jammer in his ‘Rhythm composer mix’.
