History
Cascine began when Jeff met Sandra Croft, the label's former publicist. Jeff was living in Los Angeles, working for both a corporate PR firm and cult Swedish record label,
Service. Sandra lived in London and was overseeing PR for a Service artist. Jeff and Sandra bonded over an unsigned Finnish band named Shine 2009 and started Cascine to release Shine 2009's debut EP, Associates.
Sandra became the label's publicist and Jason Romanelli its art director, developing Cascine's visual identity. Jason Kapiskosky, an old friend of Jeff's from Maryland, was also a part of Cascine's beginnings.
Within the first three months of opening, Cascine released records by four artists that helped define its point of view – Shine 2009, Chad Valley, Selebrities and Southern Shores. Since then, the label has continued its brisk pace, coming to be known for its stylish brand of modern pop and electronic music. Cascine is distributed by Redeye.
