It香蕉视频直播檚 not about the money, it香蕉视频直播檚 about the music.
New York City香蕉视频直播檚 Cash Cash is bringing dance beats to the Center of Gravity stage for the popular festival that takes place this weekend.
This will be the DJ group香蕉视频直播檚 first time performing at the event, according to member Jean Paul 香蕉视频直播淛P香蕉视频直播 Makhlouf.
The electronic trio consists of brothers JP, Alex Makhlouf and friend Samuel Frisch. They香蕉视频直播檝e reached Billboard charts with their singles and international success with four albums.
Their latest single All My Love was released last week and features English singer-songwriter Conor Maynard.
香蕉视频直播淲e knew we had something special (with the single), Conor香蕉视频直播檚 voice is really cool and really emotional,香蕉视频直播 said JP Makhlouf.
Maynard became involved in the song after Cash Cash called him up, having previously done a remix for him in 2009.
香蕉视频直播淗e香蕉视频直播檚 grown lots since then,香蕉视频直播 said Makhlouf, adding 香蕉视频直播淚 think he was like 5-foot-2 and now he香蕉视频直播檚 5-foot-6.香蕉视频直播
But, on a serious note, Makhlouf believes Maynard found himself as an artist, as did Cash Cash.
The group started as an electronic pop band and released their first album in 2008 called Take It To The Floor, but they were always remixing for other artists on the side.
香蕉视频直播淚t made a really slow transition,香蕉视频直播 said Makhlouf, as they transformed into their sound today which includes a trove of artists like B.O.B. and Nelly.
And they continue to move forward. 香蕉视频直播淓very year our goals change,香蕉视频直播 he said.
The group loves making music and putting their time into touring and building their fan base.
香蕉视频直播淪eeing people sing our songs in other countries, we were like 香蕉视频直播榦h my god how do they know our songs香蕉视频直播 because people in the states didn香蕉视频直播檛 sing our songs,香蕉视频直播 said Makhlouf.
The group is currently on tour, and is heading to Asia after wrapping up in Kelowna and doing a few dates in Las Vegas.
Lyrics are written in collaboration with the artists, which Makhlouf calls a special opportunity. Some of the artists they now work with they listened to growing up, he said.
They sit with the artists and share stories of past experiences which occasionally includes heartbreak.
These artists have also influenced them, as Nelly helped them remember their roots.
香蕉视频直播淲e did a song with Nelly香蕉视频直播 over the years things started to get robotic for us in the studio and he came in and he turned the whole studio into a party,香蕉视频直播 said Makhlouf.
香蕉视频直播淲e just loosened up and ended up making such a cool song. It reminded us that we needed to relax and it brought us back to when we started when we were just having fun.香蕉视频直播
The fans have always been supportive of Cash Cash香蕉视频直播檚 ever-changing music.
香蕉视频直播淭hey don香蕉视频直播檛 always want the same song over and over香蕉视频直播 it香蕉视频直播檚 always about hearing something fresh,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淚t can get challenging sometimes, but it香蕉视频直播檚 liberating because there香蕉视频直播檚 no ceiling. There香蕉视频直播檚 no 香蕉视频直播榦h, we can香蕉视频直播檛 do that,香蕉视频直播 we try to just take it as it comes.香蕉视频直播
The band plans to release new singles every few months and eventually put together an album.
香蕉视频直播淎lbums are great but there香蕉视频直播檚 something really special about putting a song out; to just focus on the songs. A lot of times songs get lost on an album and sometimes you work really hard on a song and want (people to listen to it),香蕉视频直播 said Makhlouf.
