Hubert Blanc-Francard from Cassius shares the story behind the much-loved house anthem, ‘Feeling For You’.Joining us at DJ Mag’s HQ, Hubert Boombass relives his childhood years, recalling fond memories of times spent with his father in the studio, where his love for music began. He also takes us back to his early productions in French hip-hop, which achieved international success with La Funk Mob, a project in collaboration with the late Philip Zdar.The duo later teamed up again to form Cassius, swapping hip-hop for sample-heavy, upbeat house music. ‘Feeling For You’ was exactly that, taking a Gwen McRae sample, speeding it up, and laying it over an irresistible groove. The track was featured on their debut album 1999.Zdar tragically passed away in 2019. Here, Blanc-Francard speaks about coping with grief, and finding the strength to carry on with the Cassius project in honour of 30 years of friendship and music.Boombass is doing a limited run of shows under the Cassius name this April, heading to NYC, Paris and London.In our series, DJ Mag explores the tales behind some of the world's favourite dance tracks, told by the people that made them.Watch more from The Making Of series here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxGQNM_MbRMj0o92dwsw61tI7fZme2HNT&si=YTUQi4usbuvPsoxnSubscribe to DJ Mag's YouTube: http://bit.ly/Oduqwo Website: http://www.djmag.com Top 100 DJs: http://www.djmag.com/top100djs Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1tr9sNh X: http://bit.ly/1AxeMR6 SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/1pE3QIU
