Kasablanca delivers the first half of their debut album Higher Resolution. It brings fans an 11-track Side A complete with seven new tracks. They have quickly risen through the ranks of dance music must-see acts over the past four years. This was attained after hitting through multiple milestones. Launching into the scene with their first singles in 2020, they struck gold with their hit collaboration with Lane 8. Titled ‘Run’, it has been streamed over 40M times post which they haven’t looked back.
Beginnings
The duo’s journey has been explosive over the years since their first Human Learning EP in 2020. Most widely known for their enthralling live performances, the duo has played some of the world’s most well-known venues & festivals. This includes the likes of Printworks, Coachella, Red Rocks, and The Gorge, alongside shows across four continents. Kasablanca’s songs have also been heard worldwide on the radio including features on BBC Radio 1 and SiriusXM. The latter brought in a number 1 hit on BPM with ‘Run.’
Hurdles & Return
The duo sold out their first-ever headline tour in 2023 focusing on legendary rock venues around North America. Their final shows were cut short towards the end of the year after revealing that frontman “Mickey” had been diagnosed with cancer. A short hiatus from touring and music followed at the start of this year. The release of their next collaboration with Lane 8, ‘Remission’ marked the official return of Kasablanca. This was after the pair debuted the track during their live sets at Ultra Music Festivals in Miami, Chile, and Peru.
‘Remission & After’
Following ‘Remission,’ Kasablanca has been on a blistering pace over this past summer with three more lead-up singles and a run of over 20 tour dates this year. Another 20 are still to come before the end of the year. Singles ‘Terminal Feeling’ and ‘Daydream’ with anamē gave fans differing sonic styles from the Melodic Techno duo. Their viral anthem ‘Breathe’ also landed in August. The official cover of the 1996 hit by The Prodigy started with a viral video in 2023. 10M views later has seen support worldwide from streaming platforms and radio stations alike.
With the Side A release of their debut album, Higher Resolution, Kasablanca now takes the next step on their meteoric rise. The album brings fans on an epic journey from start to finish led by the title track. Four new original mixes take center stage on the body of work. ‘Clarity’ is a familiar anthem to fans who have seen Kasablanca live over the past six months. It is the one that tore up dance floors from Bonnaroo to Fabric. Multiple videos of the track on social media garnered millions of views.
