After two years of phone calls, emails, harassment, injunctions, more phone calls, messages in bottles, telepathy, subliminal thoughts, more emails and visits to Paris, French house pioneers Cassius have finally agreed to play Chibuku Shake Shake!!

It’s truly taken that long to chip away at the resolve of the until recently gig-shy outfit, and everyone at Chibuku is very happy indeed. Cassius embody the main roots of Chibuku, a club richly steeped in quality house music, and promoter Charlene sees it as a perfect way to bring in the summer.

“We’ve been chasing these guys for so long until we’ve been sacre bleu in the face,” she said.

“After seeing them in other clubs and festivals – and their wicked album 1999 – we knew we had to get them. And La Mouche remains one of the all time classic Chibuku tunes, from the first time it was played in the Lemon Lounge to Play Paul dropping it on the third birthday. Damo is also extremely chuffed – he loves Cassius!”

It promises to be a very special night for the club, and there’s another surprise waiting for all in attendance. Charlene won’t say what, except that Saturday June 7th is going to be a more interactive event that usual…

Chibuku are also proud to announce their involvement with the Tribal Gathering Warehouse party on Saturday August 23rd.
