Cassius to Release Greatest Hits Compilation Album This October
In an exciting announcement for fans of the iconic French electronic duo Cassius, a new greatest hits compilation is set to be released in October, allowing listeners to dive into their vast catalogue.
The fate of Cassius was uncertain following the untimely death of Philippe Zdar, who passed away at the age of 52 in 2019, leaving a profound impact on the music industry. Since then, his partner Boombass has remained relatively quiet regarding the future of the duo. However, this all changed when Boombass took the stage at the Paralympics Closing Ceremony in Paris, reigniting the legacy of Cassius. The upcoming greatest hits album will pay tribute to the duo’s remarkable journey and influence on electronic music, and is set to release on October 11th under the title Best of 1996-2019, honoring the years they were active until Zdar‘s passing.
To further commemorate this announcement, Boombass has written a short story that captures the essence of the Cassius narrative, highlights memorable moments shared with members of Daft Punk, and pays tribute to his late friend Philippe Zdar. While the upcoming compilation might not fully mend the emotional scars left by this loss, it serves as a powerful testament to the duo’s influential work. Fans eager to add this collection to their vinyl library can pre-order Best of 1996-2019 here.
