Cassius are a French duo whose real names are Phillipe Zdar and Hubert
Blanc-Francart. Together they have recorded as Boombass and La Funk Mob,
releasing singles on the ultra-hip French label, Source. If your less cool
friends haven't heard of 'em yet, you could name-drop these lot: Neneh
Cherry, Björk, Daft Punk, Air and Depeche Mode; as they've done remixes for
all of them. The French invasion continues...
Boombass grew up on the west side of Paris. His father was a top Parisian
record producer, so it was natural Hubert would want to follow in his
footsteps. "I started making music when I was 13," he shrugs. "But it was
crap. So I quit" He got a job as a teaboy at a recording studio. By 1991 he
had become a producer, was known as Boombass, and was working on MC
Solaar's first album.
