about KASKADE
The worldwide media, DJ’s, radio stations and music loving public adore Kaskade. He’s been praised as “The Best Up & Coming Artist of 2003” from URB MAGAZINE and “a captivating debut” by BILLBOARD by scoring a number ONE single in BILLBOARD’s Hot Dance Music/Club chart through “Everything” and “Here I am”.
Love Mysterious is Kaskade’s third album and will mark his first release with Ultra Records. Those familiar with Kaskade’s preceding albums, It’s You, It’s Me and In The Moment, will feel a sound of greater dimension and big-room proportion in Love Mysterious. Though his trademark melodies, sensual vocalists, and emotionally driven sound remains intact, Love Mysterious is a bolder production and reflective of Kaskade’s growing acclaim and popularity worldwide.
Today, for the Chicago-raised San Francisco transplant, playing sold out shows in every corner of the globe is, in fact, routine. When Madonna performed at the 2006 Coachella Festival, Kaskade along with Paul Oakenfold were the opening acts. Overseas, Kaskade has been the headliner at huge festivals and events including Field Day and Park Life in Sydney, Australia. If there’s a dance culture alive and well in this world, Kaskade has likely been there, and he’s likely scheduled to go there again soon.
Kaskade’s explosion onto the dance music scene and subsequent rise to top-tier status is not without significance. Kaskade is one of the few who’ve pushed past the Sashas and the Derricks to get on the A-list.” This is so clearly the case that when URB Magazine featured Kaskade on their cover alongside Kanye West’s A-Trak and NYC’s Tommy Sunshine as the three the most influential DJs in North America today, they explained that “Kaskade is a special breed of house star, one who has increased in popularity over the past few years in an industry where most of the major players have at least a decade (often two) of stardom behind them.” That Kaskade has broken rank as well as tradition is a testament of his ability to create music that has succeeded in transcending industry politics and obstinate so-called gatekeepers.
And transcend it certainly has: consistently to the top of the charts. Kaskade’s remix of the Pussycat Dolls’ “Don’t Cha” immediately hit Number One on Billboard Magazine’s Hot Dance Music Club Play, as did his remix of David Morales’ “Here I Am.” His own songs have proven to be just as chart worthy: The single “Everything,” a big-room remix off In The Moment made Number One on Hot Music Club Play and went as far as Number Six on Hot Dance Single Sales (another weekly Billboard chart). But it was the single “Steppin’ Out” that earned Kaskade wide recognition, far beyond the dance music scene and thanks in no small part to its heavy radio play and commercial licensing, as well as being named to the annual “Top Ten Singles” list by Entertainment Weekly. From Budweiser commercials to MTV’s The Real World, the rocker-styled guitar riffs of “Steppin’ Out” mixed to a bass-heavy backbeat was contagious in its appeal, and burst open a wholly new and original sound to dance music.
Individuality is apparent in Kaskade’s personality, and so is the music he produces, which is consistently fresh and discernibly original. Love Mysterious lives up to this reputation and reinforces Kaskade’s stronghold in dance music. Dennis Romero of the Los Angeles City Beat couldn’t have put it better when he writes, “If there’s a man of the moment in dance music, it’s Kaskade.”
