Ep. 17 - Cassy

Cassy Dug Deep Into the Heart of Techno and Instead Found Soul The
European techno favorite talks about the challenges of getting
funky. As the daughter of an Austrian mother and Barbadian father,
raised in Vienna with a British passport, the appeal of Cassy as an
international DJ has always matched her own global upbringing. Yet
in practice, the DJ born Catherine Britton's experience as a
resident DJ at Panorama Bar has led many to associate her
singlehandedly with the underground Berlin scene of the early
2000s. That's about to change, with a new album titled Donna, that
breaks free of the conventional European techno tropes and replaces
them with rich Americanized soul music. "Do I have the courage to
be a soulful musician?" she asks herself on the Rave Curious
Podcast, in a conversation that touches on her multicultural
upbringing, the salad days of Berlin's minimal techno scene, and
her current quest for a (semi-)permanent home.
