Out now on Anjunabeats: Kasablanca - Lucid Audio Remixed
Celebrated melodic techno duo Kasablanca release the remix package of their second EP on Anjunabeats, ‘Lucid Audio’.
Kasablanca exploded onto the scene in summer 2020 with their collaboration with Lane 8, ‘Run’. What followed was a dream run: their debut album ‘Human Learning’, a Juno Award-nominated collaboration with Bob Moses in ‘Afterglow’, and joining us at Anjunabeats to release the ‘Immunity EP’, as well as remixing Above & Beyond’s ‘Black Room Boy’ as part of the ‘10 Years of Group Therapy’ celebrations.
This year, the duo completed their ‘Am I Dreaming?’ tour, which took them to eight sold-out venues across North America, plus festival appearances in Brazil and India. Their live show (best described as Justice meets Queen meets Stephan Bodzin) is more comparable to a full-on performance like a rock show than a typical clubbing experience, replete with Prince-esque swagger and an extensive rig of analogue synthesizers on stage. They recently supported Above & Beyond at their sold-out Printworks London takeover, and will soon join our Anjunafamily pilgrimage to the Gorge for Group Therapy Weekender.
‘Lucid Audio’ earned support from the likes of Massano, Oliver Heldens, Don Diablo, Armin van Buuren, Vintage Culture, James Hype, R3HAB, Lane 8, and Benny Benassi, racking up over 3.5M total worldwide streams to date. Stellar remixes of tracks from the EP soon followed: Korolova’s take on ‘Am I Dreaming?’ featured in Spotify’s New Music Friday Dance and Mint Canada playlists; Øostil’s rework of ‘Am I Dreaming?’ saw spins from David Guetta, Cosmic Gate, Gabriel & Dresden, Gitman and beyond.
New additions to the remix package include melodic house producer Dokho’s twist on ‘Dream About You’, Belgian artist Maxim Lany’s rework of 'Crucible', and rising talent CVMRN’s take on 'In Sequence'.
This October, Kasablanca are set to return to Red Rocks Amphitheater with Above & Beyond and embark on a 16-date tour across North America. Tickets on sale now:

[item value="10"]Kasablanca - Lucid Audio Remixed [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Kasablanca is forward thinking production and DJ duo with impressive back catalogue and releases in the most authoritative labels. Lucid Audio was an exceptional EP that is now is Remixed from the most happening artists. Firstly Maxim Lany takes Crucible in his dark driving melodic techno meets trance and prog house territory packed with metallic futuristic basslines, energetic kicks and punchy percussion along with big distorted dystopian synths. The result is a hypnotic transcending version that has huge dancefloor potential. Dokho version of ‘Dream About You' is dreamy sugar sweet chilling melodic house version with early morning Ibiza sunrise moments like the warm piano chords and tropical house touches at the back of your head. CVMRN goes for the most upfront version with fat techno kicks, driving moody basslines, thumping drums, big synthy layers throughout and the cool Underworld style vocal that recalls Born Slippy. Superb remixes that push the originals to the next level ready for the big room stages of the autumn/winter 2023 and beyond. #PureGold Love iT[/content]
