cassö

cassö is a British producer and DJ who rose to prominence while still a student at Swansea University, thanks to his breakout single «Prada». Originally created for house parties he was DJing, the track began as a reworking of D-Block Europe and Raye's «Ferrari Horses», made on his university laptop after only about eight months of producing. Uploaded to SoundCloud, it went viral, amassing millions of streams and tens of thousands of TikTok creations within a few months.

«Prada», in its finished form featuring RAYE and D-Block Europe, became a global pop-rap crossover hit, blending club-ready electronic production with UK rap and R&B textures. Its success was remarkable for an artist so early in his career, landing two established international acts on his debut release and establishing cassö as a fresh name in dance-pop production.

The song's popularity spawned numerous remixes and alternate versions — acoustic, sped-up, extended and remix takes by artists like Alok — reflecting its broad crossover appeal across pop, electronic and rap audiences. cassö represents a new generation of bedroom producers turned viral hitmakers, moving from university parties to global charts in a matter of months.
