With international support growing from renowned DJs and producers including Tiesto, Hardwell and Nicky Romero, as well as two successful Spinnin’ Records singles under their belts ("I Like It Loud" & "Michael Jackson"), New York’s emerging electronic three-piece Cash Cash has signed with legendary dance music imprint, Big Beat Records, home to a diverse electronic roster which includes Skrillex, Icona Pop, Chuckie, Martin Solveig, Flux Pavilion, Rudimental and Walden.

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 Lady Gaga (“Marry The Night”), 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 group’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.

"Music is my passion. My passion is music." — theKONGTRACKS

At an early age, I was fortunate that my Dad played the guitar and I grew-up listening to a diverse selection of musical artists — Michael Jackson, Olivia Newton-John, Leif Garrett, Santana & The Ventures were some of the very first 8-tracks & vinyls I've heard and music instantly became my very first love.

Upon entering my teenage years, my cousins from Long Island introduced me to Heavy Metal (i.e. Iron Maiden & Metallica) and was literally blown-away by the aggression, concept and technicality of the genre.

During my later teenage years, my musical taste began evolving into more of a "street-style" offering such as UTFO, Run DMC, Ice-T & Public Enemy...being from Brooklyn, I was blessed to be a part of The Golden Age Of Rap: Big Daddy Kane, Kool G. Rap, Rakim, KRS-One & 3rd Bass were my childhood rap idols.

As part of my teenage angst years, I began channeling my anger & frustrations through the power of music...enrolling in Maggio Music School in Brooklyn. It was by God's grace that I was lucky enough to have "Joe" — a "far-beyond" talented guitar virtuoso as my weekly guitar teacher. After a few years of intense guitar lessons, I began studying music theory and took classical courses as well.

During my twilight high school years, I was awe-struck after attending a Biohazard/Life Of Agony show and became fascinated by the New York Hardcore Scene — I was obsessed with collecting demos from Hardcore bands and became possessed on attending the best Hardcore shows in the Tri-State Area. My fascination with the N.Y.H.C. Scene became a reality; as my childhood friend (Jimmy McCormack) and I decided to form a Hardcore Punk/Metal band — we found a drummer -Kevin, from a store ad post whom brought in the singer -Rob and we called ourselves — Overpower.

We began playing local shows at low-key NYC venues — including Fort Hamilton High School & Village Underground — our energetic live shows and youthful following caught the attention of several concert promoters who helped us land a major gig — opening for Brooklyn rap groups: Da' Bushbabies and The Beatnuts at the 'world-famous' L'Amours the "Rock Capitol of Brooklyn" — that particular show created the buzz necessary to land perhaps our most prominent show ever — playing alongside some of our favorite underground Hardcore bands: All Out War, V.O.D./Vision Of Disorder, Out Of Line (Brooklyn), Out Of Line (Queens), Without A Cause , etc. at the Bond St. Cafe in NYC.

Unfortunately, I promised my parents that I would attend college and pursue my education as opposed to playing in a band. Overpower eventually disbanded completely and Jimmy the bassist went on to form his own band called Shutdown — who were signed to Victory Records and releasing several albums. Shutdown was a straight-edge Hardcore band w/ a positive message and they developed a cult-like following through the years.

Since then, my passion for music never waned...in fact, my musical tastes became more broad, complex and diverse...began submerging myself w/ various underground genres and scenes.

I also began creating 'critically-acclaimed' personal mixtapes/CDs for my childhood friends and continue to do so during my spare time.
