Magnetic Music Festival Artist Profile: Cazzette
Is the fact that Magnetic Music Festival is right around the corner making you as antsy as we are? In just a few days, some of the most diverse acts from all over the world (and the region) will be heading down to the KSU Sports and Recreation Park to kick off the debut event. One of those diverse acts is Swedish producing DJ duo Cazzette.
Consisting of Sebastian Furrer and Alexander Björklund, the two have gone from 0 to 60 at neck-breaking speeds thanks in part to manager Ash Pournouri. Within days of launching the Cazzette name, their first release, a remix for Avicii, “Sweet Dreams (Cazzette meet AT NIGHT Mix)” had shot into Beatport’s Top 20 and sat there for six straight weeks.
The two would later go on to create a bootleg of Swedish House Mafia’s “Save the World,” only to have it accepted as an official remix by their fellow countrymen. Their bootleg of the popular Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” went straight to the number one spot on Hype Machine’s Most Popular list after being uploaded to their Soundcloud.
Cazzette cemented themselves in the hearts of many in 2013 when their album Eject became the first album ever to be released exclusively via Spotify. And although that move didn’t ring much in revenue, anyone willing to deliver their infectious music to the masses for free, is ok in our book. We can’t wait to get our fix of their trademark dubhouse this weekend.
You still have a chance to let Cazzette beam you up when they perform on Magnetic’s stage this Saturday, April 20th – buy your tickets today!

Sunset Music Festival Artist Profile: Knife Party
One of the best parts about the Sunset Music Festival is its diverse and hard-hitting talent hailing from all corners of the world. So why not learn a little more about the artists gracing our eclectic lineup?
Although it was only two years ago when the world was first introduced to the Australian duo Knife Party, members Rob Swire and Gareth McGrill had already created a name for themselves in the music industry as two-thirds of the critically acclaimed drum and bass infused group Pendulum. The boys first met as members of a metal band called Xygen, but it wasn’t until they heard Konflict’s “Messiah” at a local club, when they made a vow to enter the drum and bass scene. And the rest, as they say, history.
Named after a song on the Deftones album White Pony, Knife Party made their first public appearance in the summer of 2011 at Space Ibiza. EP’s 100% No Modern Talking and Rage Valley were met with much success as the first release featured one of the years’ most-quoted dance lyrics, “you blocked me on Facebook, and now you’re going to die,” and the second release’s third track “Bonfire,” which was aired on the popular television series, Breaking Bad. With their third EP Haunted Houses due out in the next month, prepare to hear some new music from down under when the two perform at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium, Saturday, May 25th.
Though Knife Party originally began as a side project, the group has become so popular that it has since become Rob and Gareth’s full-time project, causing Pendulum to split in 2012. Known to make bodies move to their funky fusions of electro house, dubstep, and moombahton we can’t wait to rage with Knife Party as they make a stop on our main stage for Sunset Music Festival.
