F//asco (MT)

Christian Cassar, aka F//asco, is a 30 year old DJ/producer hailing from Malta. From
his early years, Chris showed an affinity for music and song writing. At the age of
twelve he took his first guitar and singing lessons, and just a couple of years later he
took up the role as a singer/guitarist and songwriter in a local punk-rock band. The
catchy melodic vocals and energetic rhythms made him grow fonder of song writing
and music production. The band managed to release 4 chart- topping singles, but
Chris still felt the urge to experiment with more unconventional and elaborate
sounds on his guitar.
Through this experimentation Chris decided to start broadening his creative horizons
by introducing more samplers and sound processing units in his work, eventually
creating pieces he never thought he would be writing. The more he experimented
with electronic sounds, the more his interest in the genre grew. During this period of
musical growth, Chris met Dean Demanuele, owner of Dazed & Confused Records ,
who gave him a deeper insight into the music industry. Chris has been making his
mark in the local scene ever since his first debut back in 2016, by introducing
unfamiliar organic sounds in his sets, and has continued to develop his unique style
over the years, characterised by a blend of deep house grooves and dreamy melodic
synths. Throughout his career, he has released music on Dazed & Confused Records
and curated two online podcast series – Dive Deep and Dream Network.
Lately, Chris has been spending most of his time in his small bedroom studio
producing music that will be released in the coming months, kicking off with his new
EP Kambili which will be released on Dazed & Confused Records on June 22nd.
