Bestimix 60: Caze Nove

House music may be approaching its 40th anniversary but it shows no signs of slipping into a smoking jacket & nestling by the fire with a pack of cigars & a bunch of rose-tinted memories. Oh no. Rather it's still evolving, thanks to the likes of successive waves of young producers inspired by the past but looking for the ways to evolve the 4/4 beat. The compilers of our latest Besti-mix, producers Firas & Jay Karim aka Caze Nove, being a prime example. Having honed their craft since meeting in Sheffield a decade ago, they made their DJ debut at Fabric in January, & are set to release their first joint single on Southern Fried shortly. Their mix doffs its cap to classic Chicago house with Virgo Four as its opening track & it closes with one of their own; a fitting trajectory from then to now. And one you can hear for yourself at Bestival when the boys play our legendary Afterburner on Friday night.
