Cazzette Need You To Hear These 10 Tunes They're Lovin' Right Now
The Swedish DJ/producers pick out some of the tunes they're feeling at the moment...
Avicii's been a fan of these guys for a while - introducing Cazzette, more Swedes flying their country's flag for dance music. There must be something in the water there, right?
This weekend they play the main stage at Creamfields alongside Avicii, Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix and more, plus having topped the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart with 'Blind Heart' over in the States, they're about to release a brand new EP called Desserts next month but they're taking a slightly different turn on their sound than you might expect from their stage mates.
In the spirit of thinking outside the box, the duo have put together ten tunes they're loving at the moment. And they hope you do too...
Kidnap Kid – 'Animaux'
"This guy is a really cool one to watch from the UK. ‘Animaux’ has amazing melodies and really interesting arrangement. Given how popular the sound has become in Europe it’s always great to hear people doing interesting things with a familiar sound."

Drake – 'Wednesday Night Interlude'
"We are both long-time fans of Drake. He’s a great example of someone in hip-hop really making his own stamp. There’s a really special vibe to this one and from a production standpoint ‘Wednesday Night Interlude’ uses a really interesting choice of sounds."

Max Elto – 'Citylights'
"Max Elto are from our hometown of Stockholm and the guys are making some seriously cool music. We are both obsessed with the falsetto voice on ‘Citylights’ and the track manages to be both very intimate and quite uplifting, which is a hard balance to do properly."

A$AP Rocky – 'Excuse Me'
"A$AP is quite simply an amazing rapper. There is very little that he’s released that we haven’t both loved. The production was very different on AT. LONG. LAST. A$AP and ‘Excuse Me’ was just one of those records that had us hooked from the first listen. Long live A$AP!"

The Weeknd – 'The Hills'
"What do you have to say – it’s The Weeknd. This guy is changing pop music for the better on so many levels. Not many people have been able to make the transition into the mainstream with as much integrity as he has. ‘The Hills’ is an instant classic and we can’t wait to hear the new album!"
Yeah
Yeah
Your man on the road, he doin' promo
You said, "Keep our business on the low-low"
I'm just tryna get you out the friend zone
'Cause you look even better than the photos
I can't find your house, send me the info
Drivin' through the gated residential
Found out I was comin', sent your friends home
Keep on tryna hide it but your friends know
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time that I'd be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, yeah
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, babe
I'ma let you know and keep it simple
Tryna keep it up don't seem so simple
I just fucked two bitches 'fore I saw you
And you gon' have to do it at my tempo
Always tryna send me off to rehab
Drugs started feelin' like it's decaf
I'm just tryna live life for the moment
And all these motherfuckers want a relapse
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time that I'd be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, yeah
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, babe
Hills have eyes, the hills have eyes
Who are you to judge? Who are you to judge?
Hide your lies, girl, hide your lies
Only you to trust, only you
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time that I'd be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, yeah
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, babe

Gabriel Garzon-Montano – '6 8'
"Sometimes less really is more. We haven’t met many people who know so much about Gabriel, but people are always left in awe when we play them his stuff. ‘6 8’ has the most simple and stripped down production ever, but it still hits you hard."

Tame Impala – '‘Cause I’m a Man'
Tame Impala are straight killing it right now. I’m totally obsessed with the chorus on this one. Mellow, soulful and produced in a really interesting way. What more could you ask for!
Sia – 'Elastic Heart'
"I don’t think we are over-exaggerating when we say this is probably the best pop song of the year. Pop music gets a lot of abuse for being predictable, soulless and generic, but Sia shows exactly where the genre can have meaningful musical and vocal elements. We think ‘Elastic Heart’ will go down as a timeless pop landmark for this generation."
Oh, why can I not conquer love?
And I might have thought that we were one
Wanted to fight this war without weapons
And I wanted it, and I wanted it bad
But there were so many red flags
Now another one bites the dust
Yeah, let's be clear I'll trust no one
You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace
I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
I've got an elastic heart
Yeah, I've got an elastic heart
And I will stay up through the night
Let's be clear, won't close my eyes
And I know that I can survive
I'll walk through fire to save my life
And I want it, I want my life so bad
I'm doing everything I can
Then another one bites the dust
It's hard to lose a chosen one
You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace
I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
And I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
I've got an elastic heart
Tyler The Creator – 'F**king Young/Perfect'
"I love that Tyler just keeps on evolving, but you can always tell when it’s him behind a track. This song is still very much in sync with the Tyler we first got into, but takes things a step further. So much of our career has been about evolving and not settling on the status quo, so we have a lot of respect for Tyler and what he is doing within hip-hop."

Kendrick Lamar – 'King Kunta'
"Kendrick Lamar is the best rapper alive as far as we’re concerned. He just seems to get better with every record and To Pimp a Butterfly was a really pleasant surprise. There were a lot of records we could have chosen from that album, but ‘King Kunta’ was just filled with attitude."
I don't want you monkey mouth motherfuckers sittin' in my throne again
(Aye aye nigga whats happenin' nigga, K Dot back in the hood nigga)
I'm mad (He mad), but I ain't stressin'
True friends, one question
Bitch where you when I was walkin'?
Now I run the game got the whole world talkin', King Kunta
Everybody wanna cut the legs off him, Kunta
Black man taking no losses
Bitch where you when I was walkin'?
Now I run the game, got the whole world talkin', King Kunta
Everybody wanna cut the legs off him
When you got the yams (What's the yams?)
The yam is the power that be
You can smell it when I'm walking down the street
(Oh yes we can, oh yes we can)
I can dig rapping, but a rapper with a ghost writer?
What the fuck happened? (Oh no) I swore I wouldn't tell
But most of y'all share bars, like you got the bottom bunk in a two man cell
(A two man cell)
Something's in the water (Something's in the water)
And if I got a brown nose for some gold then I'd rather be a bum than a motherfuckin' baller
Bitch where you when I was walkin'?
Now I run the game got the whole world talkin', King Kunta
Everybody wanna cut the legs off him, Kunta
Black man taking no losses
Bitch where you when I was walkin'?
Now I run the game, got the whole world talkin', King Kunta
Everybody wanna cut the legs off him
When you got the yams (What's the yams?)
The yam brought it out of Richard Pryor
Manipulated Bill Clinton with desires
24/7, 365 days times two
I was contemplatin' gettin' on stage
Just to go back to the hood see my enemies and say...
Bitch where you when I was walkin'?
Now I run the game got the whole world talkin', King Kunta
Everybody wanna cut the legs off him, Kunta
Black man taking no losses
Bitch where you when I was walkin'?
Now I run the game, got the whole world talkin', King Kunta
Everybody wanna cut the legs off him
(You goat mouth mammy fucker)
I was gonna kill a couple rappers but they did it to themselves
Everybody's suicidal they don't even need my help
This shit is elementary, I'll probably go to jail
If I shoot at your identity and bounce to the left
Stuck a flag in my city, everybody's screamin' "Compton"
I should probably run for Mayor when I'm done, to be honest
And I put that on my Mama and my baby boo too
Twenty million walkin' out the court buildin', woo woo!
Ah yeah, fuck the judge
I made it past 25 and there I was
A little nappy headed nigga with the world behind him
Life ain't shit but a fat vagina
Screamin' "Annie are you ok? Annie are you ok?"
Limo tinted with the gold plates
Straight from the bottom, this the belly of the beast
From a peasant to a prince to a motherfuckin' king
Bitch where was you when I was-
*POP*
(By the time you hear the next pop, the funk shall be within you)
*POP*
Now I run the game got the whole world talkin', King Kunta
Everybody wanna cut the legs off him, (King) Kunta
Black man taking no losses
Bitch where was you when I was walkin'
Now I run the game got the whole world talkin', King Kunta
Everybody wanna cut the legs off him
(Funk, funk, funk, funk, funk, funk)
We want the funk
We want the funk
(Now if I give you the funk, you gon' take it)
We want the funk
(Now if I give you the funk, you gon' take it)
We want the funk
(Now if I give you the funk, you gon' take it)
We want the funk
(Do you want the funk?)
We want the funk
(Do you want the funk?)
We want the funk
(Now if I give you the funk, you gon' take it)
We want the funk
I remember you was conflicted, misusing your influence
