In the heart of the urban sprawl, where the concrete jungle meets the remnants of forgotten industry, a force of nature emerges. Hailed as one of the brightest contemporary talents on the hard techno circuit, Cassie Raptor has enjoyed a rapid ascent to international stardom over recent years, gracing the likes of RAW and Planet Phuture with her hard-hitting, yet refined catalogue of releases. Announcing her highly-anticipated debut LP ‘Predator’ – set for release on May 31 – Cassie now share’s the album’s first single, ‘The Trap’, giving fans an exciting preview of the record’s progressive identity.
