Gold Casio are the masters of local disco. Their live performances are engaging and visually stimulating, with their aesthetic falling somewhere in between disco royalty and yacht rock magic. Glitter, gold and a whole hell of a lot of dancing are always on the menu with Gold Casio, so when they teamed up with the ethereal jazziness of Coco Columbia an entirely new sonic aesthetic was created.
Coming off their latest the Fever Dreams EP, "Gold Mine" is appropriately named hit of electropop that you can’t help but groove to. Gold Casio gave us some cosmic responses to a few questions about the track. Give them a read below, but make sure you’re blasting "Gold Mine" as you do it.
What inspired "Gold Mine" thematically?
Sparkling harpsichord from another dimension, poolside sunsets from past lives, winter nights with too much smoke and too many mirrors, pretending you’re on a beach anywhere else.
Why the choice of collaborating with Coco Columbia on the track? Were there other artists in the running?
Astrological tendencies, geographical convenience, and divine intervention. Our human vessels and their interconnections predate both musical projects, the song was born before the identity of either had made waves on the scene.
How did fans initially react to the Coco/Casio pairing and the song in general?
Quite well!
Will we be seeing more features from other artists on GC tracks? What other projects does the band have in the works?
Many more collaborations coming down the line, some with artists you probably already love and some you’ll love soon!
