Strictly Cazzette Album Review: A Wild Ride Through Electro House Bliss
Alright, let’s talk about Strictly Cazzette. Released in 2012 by the Swedish duo Cazzette under Strictly Rhythm, this album is basically a masterclass in how to keep the energy cranked up without losing its soul. It’s packed with remixes and originals that scream club vibes but still feel like they’ve got some heart—something not every electronic album pulls off.
First up, I gotta shout out “Levels (Cazzette’s NYC Mode Mix).” Man, this track slaps. If you’ve ever been stuck in traffic on a Friday afternoon dreaming of being anywhere else, queue this bad boy. The drop hits like a caffeine rush at 3 a.m., and it's one of those tracks where you can just tell Cazzette had fun making it. You don’t even need to be in a club for it to hit right—it works just as well blasting through your headphones while pretending you’re DJing in your bedroom. That bassline? Chef’s kiss.
Another standout is “Titanium (Cazzette’s Ant Seeking Hamster Mix).” Yeah, yeah, we all know David Guetta’s original version, but Cazzette took it to another planet. They turned Sia’s vocals into what feels like an intergalactic anthem. Like, imagine cruising through space in a neon-lit spaceship—that’s the vibe here. And honestly? The name of the mix alone (“Ant Seeking Hamster”) makes me chuckle every time. What does that even mean?! Doesn’t matter though, because once the beat kicks in, you’re sold.
The rest of the album keeps the momentum going strong—remixes like “Sweet Dreams (Cazzette Meet At Night Remix)” bring that dark, moody electro edge, while tracks like “Punx” remind you why Cazzette was such a big deal back then. Every song has its own flavor, but they all tie together perfectly, kinda like a playlist curated by someone who really gets it.
Looking back, Strictly Cazzette feels like a snapshot of a specific moment in dance music history. Back when EDM was blowing up globally, everyone was trying to ride the wave, but Cazzette managed to stand out without overdoing it. There’s no pretentiousness here, just solid beats made for moving.
And hey, fun fact: listening to this now almost makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn’t even part of. Weird, huh? Maybe that’s the magic of good music—it doesn’t just take you to the dance floor; it takes you somewhere deeper, even if you’re just sitting there wondering what an ant-seeking hamster actually sounds like.
