Cassino & Labèn

BIOGRAPHY:
Cassino & Labèn, or rather Andrea Cassino and Alex Labèn, were born in the small town of located in the heart of Italy, where they presently reside. The pair met in 1999, while the two were working as DJ and PR in the same club. Right from the beginning, their friendship, the same way of thinking, the same feelings about music turned into real passion. The mutual understanding between the two turned out to be highly positive and driven by an uncontrollable will to do something tangible, they began their project called Cassino & Labèn, in 2001.
Their live sets composed in Ableton Live double laptop performace, consist of an endless excursion among different sound combinations, from break beat to deep, from progressive to electronic house, providing an overwhelming voyage to discover new elegant and exquisite sonorities. Not to forget that the project Cassino & Labèn began with the union between producer (Andrea Cassino) and DJ (Alex Laben) and this is the reason why their expressive method is always changing.
Cassino & Labèn got another major break. Babylon Records released the track Leaving Panic Behind with the Flash Brothers on the remix. It gained massive support from major artists such as Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Markus Schulz, Gabriel & Dresden, John 00 Fleming, John Askew, Paolo Mojo, Hernan Cattaneo and Ozgur Can to name a few. The remix was picked up by Ferry Corsten in his mix CD, Passport: Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Cassino & Labèn also collaborate with Claude Ma-Te, under the name of Arenok. In 2005 their first track entitled Free Yourself, was released on Electronic Elements (Armada). Free Yourself was played and reviewed by several artists (Armin Van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Perry O’Neil, Stefano Greppi, Mas Collective, etc...). In March Free Yourself also made it to Markus Schulz mix compilation, Miami ’05. The Stel remix (Audiotherapy).
