Cass And Slide Biography
While most trance producers tend to aim for massive peak hour anthems, the duo of Cass & Slide has quietly made a strong mark on the trance community with their style of dark epic tracks perfect for establishing a sense of mood early in a trance set. Composed of Cass Cutbush and Pete Martin, the duo had barely established themselves as artists and was already seeing their tracks appear on high-profile mix CDs by artists such as Sasha ("Perception"), John Digweed ("Diablo"), and Jimmy Van M ("Opera.") Besides producing mind-blowing tracks, the duo also spends time managing their record label, Fire Recordings, which they established shortly after bringing the Flying Rhino label to mass public consciousness. Their tracks tend to build slowly, with an emphasis on emotive synth backgrounds, stomping percussion, and haunting melodies. ~ Jason Birchmeier
