In just a few years, Kasablanca has shown that he has a lot to say, and he's not done yet.
The duo's debut album, Higher resolutionwhich will be released in two parts, is an intimate and deeply layered expression of his journey, both personal and musical. After a few years of explosive success, the duo continues to maintain their place as one of the most compelling electronic music acts of the moment.
The album is an exploration of resilience, personal battles, rebirth and the drive to keep moving forward. Its main theme sets the rhythmic tone with vocoder-accompanied lyrics that pierce the atmosphere, as if echoing from a distant future.
Much of the album's first chapter also conveys a sense of euphoria that seems almost cinematic in scale, such as “Remission,” his triumphant collaboration with Lane 8. Released just days before Kasablanca's Micky was declared cancer-free, the song seems prophetic, since it was always destined to accompany the moment when hope becomes reality.
“Terminal Feeling” delves into the more introspective side of his story. Along with ethereal, almost ghostly vocals, its haunting techno rhythms give the track an air of tension, an audible reflection of the fear and uncertainty that comes with fighting the disease. Yet even in their darkest moments, there is a glimmer of defiance as the duo turns personal adversity into cathartic release. The result is a hypnotic dancefloor anthem brimming with raw, unfiltered energy.
Elsewhere, tracks like “Dawn” see Kasablanca offering new stylistic production options with frenetic percussion while crooning vocals soar through the mix, infused with reverb. The combination of breakbeat rhythms and futuristic soundscapes captures a feeling of nostalgia and forward movement at the same time, marking another highlight of the album.
