Casino are a producer / DJ duo from London whose sound is a blend of the newest dance noises, merged with a healthy respect for the traditions of Northern Soul, combined with a love of house, mixed with underground electro, splicing pop sensibilities and mashing it all up into one big tunes love concoction!
Their unique mix is created with the help of some hugely talented musical friends, as heard on the singles "Running On Back To You", "Floorshaker" and soon-come brand new single "Good Times", with the debut album to follow!
Casino's releases are available on physical formats direct from Corsair Records and digital downloads from Juno Download and Beatport
Casino's music has soundtracked a shortlisted film in this year’s Sundance film Festival and two promotional films for Models One.
Backstory :
The debut single "Running On Back To You" was released in May 2006 after spending 7 weeks in The Buzz Chart on Pete Tong's Radio One Essential Selection and being featured as John Kennedy's "Big One" record of the week on XFM.
"Floorshaker" was their second single released in the summer of 2007 and continued merging an uber-authentic Northern Soul vocal, groove and tune with ultra contemporary electro/house production values to give a unique result that sounds only like Casino!
"Considering that modern club culture's roots lie firmly in Northern Soul, it's surprising that no-one has combined the two up until now. Casino might not just have a hit on their hands; it might also start an unlikely revival"
DJ Mag 4/5
"The name of the Artist & the title of the song totally give the game away. Dirty & gritty, pill popping, shuffling sliding'n'gliding, back flipping, duck diving Northern Soul for the 21st Century, with bags & bags of energy"
DMC Update 5/5
"A northern soul tune with beefier noughties production"
iDJ 4/5
"Proper soul with bundles of energy - we love it"
DMC Update 5/5
"Casino's debut release "Running On Back To You" took the clubs by storm last year, clocking up "Single Of The week" all over the place. Well Casino have kept the faith and are back with a stomper, or to use another Northern Soul term "Floorshaker". "1.2…1.2.3.". The bag is packed and we're off to a glorious sweaty allnighter, where you can't resist the urge and the buzz in the room, making you feel like you're somewhere a bit special, as you dance til you drop. Casino's "Floorshaker" has got all the essential ingredients and then some. Straight in the front of the box."
