Sun City Music Festival Sound Clash: Cassy, Le Castle Vania

Today, we’re clashing the sounds of two Sun City Music Festival artists – one that’s home grown, and another imported from across the Atlantic. Though their styles are completely different, both Cassy and Le Castle Vania know how to bring the house down, which is exactly what they’ll do come August 31st and September 1st.

Cassy

Sun City talent Cassy has had a long-standing respect in the house music community. Currently holding down residencies at four of the world’s leading venues in Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and New York City, it is clear that Cassy’s demand has a global reach.

Born Catherine Britton, Cassy is deeply rooted in her love for music and the arts. Born in London to a Caribbean father and Austrian mother, Cassy moved to Vienna at an early age and was surrounded by a city that was soaked in music history. “I listened to a lot of classical music when I was younger, and jazz, as that is what my family were into – George Benson was someone I saw in concert with my Dad. The first record I actually bought was Madness ‘One Step Beyond’ – and I have never come back from that step.”

Though her first foray into the music industry was as a vocalist on Autorepeat’s “Music Takes Me Higher” on Sabotage Records, it was DJing and production that has won her heart. One thing we love most about Cassy is that she doesn’t stick to one genre – you can always find her gliding between house and techno, with a tinge of Viennese traditions. Still representing for the DJs who continue to use vinyl, Cassy knows how to incorporate a soulful balance in her DJ sets that takes her audience on a crazy adventure. We’re sure you’ll get to see this live when Cassy takes the stage at Sun City Music Festival on August 31st and September 1st. Buy your tickets today!

Le Castle Vania

Internationally known, Georgia native, Le Castle Vania first started out playing in traditional rock bands. After an unsuccessful attempt to master the drums, Le Castle Vania began DJing at warehouse parties and raves in Atlanta when he was only 16. Born Dylan Eiland, he was instantly drawn to the city’s growing music scene as it allowed him to develop his passion for music and nightlife. It didn’t take long for him to gain recognition with his frenzy-inducing DJ sets and knack for creating dancing floor ready productions.

Le Castle Vania has steadily toured since the summer of 2006, taking his catchy electro vibes to the masses. His live performances are always brimming with great energy and an even better track selection. If he’s not on the road, you can catch him in the studio, writing tracks with his signature sound which is a banging combination of gritty disco punk, memorable synths and soldiering electronic beats. Nobody gets out alive when Le Castle Vania takes the stage at Sun City Music Festival this year. Have you bought your tickets yet?
