We asked each member to list two of their greatest influences. All of their responses can be viewed below. Be sure to catch Casxio TOMORROW at our CMJ 2009 Day Party (10/20: Pianos)! Their set will begin at 6PM sharp!

1. Chic – I Want Your Love (Lucas Guerin – Bass/Lead Vocals)

Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers are a disco/R&B duo that cannot be fucked with. It’s almost as though rhythm guitar didn’t exist before Nile Rodgers. The drawn out instrumental dance grooves were made for Bernard Edwards smooth, iconic bass sound to carry. The song ‘I Want Your Love’ inspired a lot of the groove that exists in the Casxio sound. I also love the simplicity in the lyrics. They aren’t just simple, they are innocent and to the point which complements the music.

2. Dr. Dre – Still D.R.E. (Lucas Guerin – Bass/Lead Vocals)

Everyone has their best summer ever and a song to go with it. This song is it for me. The summer of 2000. Beyond the sentimental value it holds for me, this song is the first song I tried to emulate. When I first started writing music in my parents basement I would sit at my KORG Triton keyboard and copy hip hop beats. I guess I would do it as an exercise for ear training to see how close I could get to the original. The piano and strings play a ridiculous hook right off the top and then it doesn’t stop throughout the entire song. And the crazy shit is you’d think it would get obnoxious, but it doesn’t because he throws in those extra little junior hooks every few bars. And of course it’s Dre and Snoop and they don’t get old. Dre is such a bad motherfucker.
