Cassius Remix Winner

After nearly two months of the Burn Studios online music community creating remixes of the Cassius classic The Sound Of Violence, and a further few intensive weeks spent by Cassius listening to the hundreds of remix submissions, we're now delighted to announce the winner:

THA TRICKAZ

Like Cassius, Tha Tricakz are a French duo and lifelong friends, and it was their dub-step re-rub that won in the Burn Studios debut remix competition. Tha Tricakz - aka Pho & DJ iRaize - bagged themselves thousands of Euros of Avid and SoundCloud prizes, and probably the most exciting prize of all - a trip to Paris to mix their track with Cassius for release on Cassius Records.

In an exclusive statement Cassius - aka Zdar and Boombass - described Tha Tricakz remix as "Powerful dub-step" that they'd put in their record bag; quite an honour for the young producers. The Burn Studios ambassadors came to this conclusion after hours of discussion listening to a diverse range of mixes in styles including trance, hip hop, dub-step and drum and bass.

"So finally we realise that both of us have a remix in common in our top 4, which is 'THA TRICKAZ'... no need for a great dinner and hours of discussions, it's the FINAL ONE.
MUCH LOVE FROM CASSIUS TO YOU ALL !!!
-ZDAR & BOOMBASS"
