Cazzette, the Swedish electronic music duo of Alexander Björklund and Sebastian Furrer, came together in 2011 and now have a major hit on their hands with “Blind Heart.”

Björklund and Furrer received the a capella for “Blind Heart” from their manager, who encouraged them to add their creative touches to the track. Appreciating the a capella, the two musicians devoted themselves to making something special, patiently allowing the creative process to run its course and turn out something they could be happy with.

“We went back and forth for like 6 months just to see what version. We did maybe five different versions of the song. At the end of the day, we mixed them all together in a new quarter file and just like remade everything, but it finally it came together really nicely, and I think we nailed that one really good,” Furrer told uInterview in an exclusive interview at SXSW. Björklund added, “We’re super happy with the results. It has a kid of a cool gospel-like soul vibe to it, which is what I think we fell for.”

When Cazzette was first starting out in the EDM world, they teamed up with the established Avicii. Both Björklund and Furrer are grateful for having worked with Avicii in their early days, but admit that they’ve moved on in their career together and now do their own thing. Part of their personal brand as DJs is challenging themselves with remixes that might seem unorthodox, but that aren’t forced.

“We like to challenge ourselves. So, when we get remix requests, we usually go for the remix that feels good and at the same time doesn’t feel us. We try to make something,” said Furrer. “If the song is like 90 BPM [beats per minute] and they want a house remix of it, usually people say no to that because the tempos are completely different, but we see that as a challenge, so we usually go for that and try to make something cool out of it.”

Cazzette will soon be releasing their latest single “Together” that follows the successes of “Sleepless” and “Blind Heart.” Soon, Björklund and Furrer will be heading out on the road again, but they’d also like to put some significant time in at the studio to work on some more quality EDM music to release to the masses.

“For now were still spending a lot of time in the studio, which feels great,” explained Björklund. “When you really think about it, we’ve been on the road for like three years on and off, and it’s a little bit too much because we really have to focus on the music side of things too and not just the DJ-ing part. It feels good that we’ve taken a step back and worked on a lot of new music,”Björklund continued, adding, “We’re excited that it’s coming out, and then once that has been released, we’re going to start touring properly again.”
