The group, which consists of best friends and brothers, Jean Paul Makhlouf, Alex Makhlouf and Samuel Frisch first made their way into the hearts of core dance music enthusiasts with their vibrant remixes for the likes of Nicky Romero ("Symphonica"), Capital Cities ("Safe And Sound"), Vicetone (“Heartbeat” ft. Collin McLoughlin) and Krewella ("Alive"); as well as Bruno Mars (“Treasure”), Calvin Harris (“Let’s Go” ft. Ne-Yo) and Nervo & Hook N Sling (“Reason”), several which have reigned on the Hype Machine charts.
But the trio truly impresses with their originally produced material, including Krewella’s next single, "Live For the Night," coming just before their first official Big Beat release, "Take Me Home" ft. Bebe Rexha, dropping on July 16th along with a remix package to all digital retailers. The track recently premiered during the trio’s guest mix on Nicky Romero's ‘Protocol Radio’ Sirius/XM Radio show and officially debuted on BPM, hailed as the “best new track… heard in a long time” by host, Austin Kramer.
The groups’s fusion of captivating pop vocals and signature banging electro-house beats have already captivated dance music insiders and tastemakers like elektro magazine, Complex’s Do Androids Dance and Dancing Astronaut, who named Cash Cash one of their “five breakthrough artists for summer 2013.” Expect to hear more praise for this crowd-pleasing act from EDM and pop music fans and writers alike.

I FLY SOLO
The lyrics of Cash Cash's "Red Cup" are about living life in the fast lane and being unapologetically promiscuous. The song's title refers to a red plastic cup, a common symbol of partying and drinking culture in the United States. The song's first verse has the singer asking their love interest why they have been acting shady lately, indicating a desire for a committed relationship. However, the chorus contains the singer's declaration that they are a "gift that just keeps on giving" and a "slut" who won't stop partying and hooking up. The line "Red cup, you know I fly solo" reinforces this theme of independence and casual sexual encounters.
The second verse features a male rapper boasting about his lack of interest in settling down and his preference for casual flings. He makes references to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Jamestown, using them as metaphors for his carefree lifestyle. The chorus is then repeated with the singer and rapper trading off lines. The song concludes with the repeated chant of "solo," emphasizing the importance of individuality and self-reliance.
Overall, "Red Cup" is a song about the hedonistic pursuit of pleasure and the rejection of traditional societal norms surrounding relationships and commitment.
