“Kaskade’s signature sound is as unmistakable as it is
beautiful; a combination of dewy female vocals,tough electronic underpinnings,
and memorable melodies.”— Billboard.The New York Times may have called him the
“new face of electronic dance music” in a recent profile, but Ryan Raddon,
known as Kaskade, has been in the trenches of the EDM scene as an original
recording artist and in-demand DJ for more than a decade. He has released seven
studio albums, including his latest, Fire & Ice, scored nine Top 10 hits on
Billboard’s Hot Dance Airplay Chart, created chart-topping remixes for everyone
from Lady Gaga to Beyoncé, appeared at all the major summer festivals, and has
performed between 150 and 200 headlining shows a year for the last 10 years,
building a name for himself as an innovator of the EDM scene as we know it
today, which has opened doors for the likes of Deadmau5, Tiesto, Skrillex and
more. In doing so, he has helped to lay the groundwork for a titanic musical
and cultural shift: a post-rock EDM revolution that has captured the
imagination of a new generation of music lovers across North America. Kaskade
has been named America’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Times and Pioneer DJ. In 2012, he will
appear at this year’s Coachella and will hit the road in June for his biggest
headlining tour ever — 70-plus North American shows in just over three months.
His own live show being a jaw-dropping spectacle that finds him performing in
front of a massive LED screen that blares images synched with the music while
strobe lights scan the crowd. Kaskade’s belief in the transformative power of
dance music to uplift thousands of people at once has had a significant effect
on the U.S. scene. His ground-breaking double residency in Las Vegas at the
Encore Beach Club (which had not even been built when he signed on) and Marquee
has elevated the city’s status as a premiere club-going destination on par with
London, Berlin, and Ibiza, is another testament to his influence.Listen song here:YouTube
