Eight decks, two mixers and four very talented hands is the winning formula that first propelled Leeds duo Cassette Jam into the limelight just over two years ago. Having won Cream’s International Search For A DJ competition in 2006, the duo of Rory Lyons and Will Graney were soon criss-crossing four continents with their energetic and no-holds barred approach to DJing.

Remix work for the likes of Ladytron, Alex Gopher and Does It Offend You Yeah? followed and it was the pair’s first four-track demo of their own original material, which led to them being snapped up by Pieces Of Eight Records earlier this year.

Since then the boys trajectory has grown decidedly steeper, with first single proper -‘Retox’ – catching the ears of players including Erol Alkan, Jon Carter, Annie Mac and Annie Nightingale. Forthcoming offering ‘Don’t Lose Control’ continues the pedigree, taking a new wave indie base, plundering Rory and Will’s techno and band backgrounds and creating a guitar-infused electro admonition that “the pills won’t help you now”.

Remixes on the package come from retro-futurist trendsetter Headman, Kiss FM’s favourite party starters – The Loose Cannons – and Boston based remixers du-jour Hot Pink Delorean.

Currently acting as judges for Budweiser’s Rising Talent 2008 DJ competition, the Cassette boys are also busy in the studio with Mark Ralph of Filthy Dukes fame putting the finishing touches to their debut album, due next year on Pieces Of Eight.
