Sobre

<a href="spotify:artist:7d14jCYBaWqLIYcc9UZaFL">Alex Tsiridis</a> and Hüseyin Evirgen formed Cassegrain in 2008 after meeting at the Red Bull Music Academy in Barcelona, having quickly bonded over their mutual appreciation of electronic music. Turkish-born Evirgen had had a strict musical education, playing piano from the age of seven while studying composition in Istanbul and at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, while Greek-born <a href="spotify:artist:7d14jCYBaWqLIYcc9UZaFL">Tsiridis</a> developed his music skills through computer software and growing up with a love of IDM and dance music in general. Cassegrain's first release came in 2010, with the single Cotton on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Mikrowave%22">Mikrowave</a>, which was followed a year later by their first release, the Dropa EP, for Munich-based deep and dark techno label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Prologue%22">Prologue</a>. The duo's release schedule increased throughout 2012, with singles coming on Modal Analysis, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22M_REC+LTD%22">M_REC LTD</a>, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Killekill%22">Killekill</a>, and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Prologue%22">Prologue</a>, while DJ and live sets and blog appearances elevated their profile. The year 2013 saw the pair remixing Dutch techno artist Charlton Ravenberg as well as <a href="spotify:artist:3h6qziz3eTK8pNQ2JSzHPs">Alexander Kowalski</a>'s Dircksen, while a collaboration with <a href="spotify:artist:1pnPHRg5i0WzPwGqtIoadK">Tin Man</a> and another release for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Prologue%22">Prologue</a>, the six-track EP Tiamat, also appeared. Cassegrain worked on their debut album, Centers of Distraction, in 2014; released at the end of that year, the album was preceded by the EP Blood Distributed as Pure Colour. ~ Rich Wilson, Rovi
