Gigamesh, Cassian

Gigamesh is the stage name of Matt Masurka, an American multi-platinum selling music producer and DJ. His numerous remixes and two EPs have earned him a swiftly building reputation as one of the most versatile and consistent names in indie-dance music.

Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, it’s no surprise Gigamesh has developed a keen taste for funk, disco and pop. The sound is immediately recognizable in much of his music, however he maintains a flexible aesthetic. Gigamesh is an ardent fan of minimalist concert music, film scores, classic rock, italo disco, French house, Miami bass, and genre-bending electronic music. These elements have all combined to forge his all-inclusive approach to music appreciation and creation.

Gigamesh first gained exposure on music blogs for bootleg reworks of pop hits from Michael Jackson, New Order, The Clash, Stardust and dozens more. He went on to produce a #6 Billboard Single (also iTunes 2010 Pop Single Of The Year) and very well-received remixes for Foster The People, Two Door Cinema Club, Katy B, Theophilus London, Citizens, Grouplove and more. Now a multi-platinum selling producer and frequent member of The Hype Machine’s popular chart #1 spot, Gigamesh has firmly established himself as a respected trendsetter in modern dance music.

In October 2011, Gigamesh released his debut self-titled EP on Our Label International, which received wide acclaim in the disco and indie-dance community. Following his debut, Gigamesh began to develop a close relationship with French record label Kitsuné resulting in an invitation to perform on their highly-anticipated U.S. Club Night tour and the release of the “All My Life” EP by Kitsuné in May of 2012. In support of this EP Gigamesh has been touring the globe, including Asia, Australia, North America, and UK/Europe.

Gigamesh continues to gain recognition as one of the top producers of modern dance music going in to 2013. With no time to waste, Gigamesh is starting off the year by releasing a new single, ‘Enjoy.’ ‘Enjoy’ features a remix by Oliver and will be out on NYC’s fresh house label – Nurvous Records (Feb. 12th).


Cassian has become one of Australia’s busiest exports, clocking up some serious miles performing all over the world in clubs from LA to Rome, Warsaw to Shanghai & Vancouver to Singapore. Or as he would put it “Yews all over the world.” Cassian has been keeping busy inside the studio as well, producing his own music and mixing/engineering for the likes of Classixx, Rufus & Mitzi.

2012 saw the release of Cassian’s third solo EP, The Love Cuts. New York City’s Nurvous Records (legendary dance label -Nervous Record’s sister label) released the ‘modern house’ with a ‘disco punch’ record with support from MK, Oliver Koletzki, Aeroplane & Zombie Disco Squad to name a few .’I Love It’ was echoed around the world when the aptly titled single reached #3 on Beatport’s Indie Dance/Nu Disco chart.

But Cassian may have saved the best for last when he debuted ‘On & On’ at the end of November. Currently receiving worldwide blog support, including a premiere on Gotta Dance Dirty, and airplay from Australia’s own Triple J.

In between releases he garnered praise for recent remixes of Rufus, Anna Lunoe & Touch Sensitive and RAC & Penguin Prison. Topping the Hype machine multiple times, each remix has clocked over 100,000 plays on soundcloud alone & received diverse support from DJs such as Damian Lazarus, Bondax & Bag Raiders. Cassian has completed a slew of well received remixes for artists such as Two Door Cinema Club, Flight Facilities, The Rapture, Bag Raiders, Miami Horror, PNAU, Empire of the Sun, Classixx, Gigamesh, Citizens!, and more.

With several tours across North America, Asia and Europe and appearances at the biggest festivals in Australia: Splendour in the Grass, Stereosonic, Creamfields and The Big Day Out, it’s clear this Aussie golden boy has an unparalled energy that will continue to dominante dance floors in 2013.
