Cassius — Boiler Room, Paris, 2026

Filmed in Paris during a house-focused Boiler Room session, this 2026 recording spotlights Cassius, a pioneering French touch project. Since Philippe Zdar’s death in 2019, the name has been carried by Hubert Blanc-Francard, known as Boombass, the duo’s co-founder. In Boiler Room’s signature format — a DJ set played right in the middle of the crowd, with no raised stage — he delivers close to an hour of an all-house special, moving between French house, basslines and dancefloor rhythms rooted in the late 1990s. The value of the capture lies first in its club atmosphere: tight framing, a packed crowd and the seamless mixing the label is known for. It extends the legacy of a project whose albums 1999 and Au Rêve shaped French electronic music, and recalls Cassius’s role in carrying French touch abroad alongside Daft Punk and Alan Braxe. For electronic-music listeners, this live concert offers a current document of a Paris set, faithful to the project’s festive, groove-driven spirit. A precise look at how French house translates to the stage today.
