Released at the height of the late-1990s house explosion, the album fused filtered disco loops, chunky beats and playful sampling into a joyous, floor-filling statement that rivalled the work of peers like Daft Punk, Etienne de Crécy and Motorbass. Its breakout singles, including "Cassius 1999," "Feeling for You" and "La Mouche," became international anthems, embodying the era’s blend of funk, soul and relentless four-to-the-floor energy.

More than just a time capsule, "1999" remains a landmark in electronic music history — a record that defined the euphoric, sample-heavy aesthetic of the French house movement and cemented Cassius as one of its most innovative and enduring forces.
