Real Name: Bastian Hoffmann Aliases: Bastian Hoffmann Casui is a side project from Bastian Hoffmann of Native Radio, an act that also released their debut album Chiba City Blues with Medium/Midijum. Air on a G-String immediately caught my ear with its sensual usage of classical violin. The source for this is almost certainly a 19th century arrangement of Bach’s Air known as Air on the G string. Blending authentic classical music with smooth and polished progressive trance is a keen idea, and Casui executes it well. The arrangement is just right, with a series of increasingly powerful breakdowns pushing the energy levels up as the track unfolds. Serene atmospheres cruise alongside thrumming bass lines and ornamental percussion. The results are simply gorgeous, making this luscious song the favourite of the compilation. For the DJs out there: beware the final conclusion, as it breaks from the rhythm, and may cause dissonance in a mix.
