"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 Electric Daisy Carnival festivals, for which he has special performances planned, 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 is a jaw-dropping spectacle that finds him performing in front of an 80-foot wide, three-stories tall 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.
Growing up in the Chicago suburbs, Raddon was heavily influenced by New Wave bands like The Cure, Echo and The Bunnymen, and The Smiths that ignited his love for melody and lyrics and was strongly impacted by the house music scene that developed in Chicago. Following stints spinning throughout college and in A&R at OM Records, he began working on his own music, which includes multiple singles, EPs, and remixes, as well as the albums: his most recent 2011 release Fire & Ice -- which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Chart, No. 3 on the Independent Albums chart, and No. 17 on the Top 200 Albums chart, while the iTunes version debuted at No. 4 on the overall album chart. The Fire disc contains ten original songs geared firmly toward the dancefloor, while on the Ice disc, Kaskade delivers the perfect down-tempo post-club experience by remixing all ten songs. Both discs showcase the musical versatility tat has characterized his work ever since he began writing his own songs. This album was preceded by It's You, It's Me (2003), In the Moment (2004), The Calm (2006), Here & Now (2006), Love Mysterious (2006), Strobelite Seduction (2008), Dynasty (2010) and Dance.Love (2010).
We had the best time at Big Night Live seeing Kaskade. The music, the lasers and graphics on screen were all top notch! The crowd was super friendly and PLUR! Highly recommend seeing him if you get the chance.
Omg, kaskade did it again i have seen him so many times between ezoo and other festivals. Saturday nights show hit so many great feelings of how much I love this man, and how much he has made me get through so many things in life. He seriously has my heart and will forever be an amazing part of my world. If I met him I would hug him and say thank you for making music like he does for everyone, and thank you for getting me though so much because without his music I probably would be in a much worse place then now. Thank you so much for everything.
This was my first time attending this venue. I was very pleased with my experience. The security was friendly and not overly aggressive. The bar was very friendly and attentive. Great vibes the whole night. I was more impressed with the DJ that opened for Kaskade.
Ok, so this is going to be long. I actually saw him Thursday night and I wouldn’t say I didn’t like the set, but it really felt like a super pop-y set…that’s part of why I stopped listening to him as much. I loved FIRE + ICE and his singles more so (meaning a while back he just had a different style of production) than this style of set so THURSDAY (although I have never seen him live before in my life and was just happy to SEE him and the show was free as I was on guest list) was a bit less energetic imo. ——SATURDAY—— ABSOLUTELY crushed the set with a remix of quite a few Fire + Ice tracks and the singles I did enjoy off The Grand(?) This was more so the set I KNEW was coming as BNL would require a ton more energy. I had been to BNL the last few months (Mau5 did the same run of shows, Eric Prydz was recently at BNL and now Kaskade) Side note for this ^ seeing as how deadmau5 and Kaskade play together as KX5, I’ve never heard any of them outside of what Mau5 has played. He played like 3-4 Kx5 tracks and I loved every second of it! He also played a remix of Strobe by deadmau5, AND he played an Eric Prydz track. I’m not sure if it was on purpose but I definitely noticed the pattern. Mau5 played first, he played the Mau5 remix first, then he played Eric Prydz, who played after deadmau5..so you see the pattern? It was a good time either way and I have no complaints about the Saturday show! For the first times seeing him I was absolutely enjoying myself and glad I got to! MAU5 in Brooklyn Next!! Unless I cave in Steve Angello XD
So much talent went into this. It was absolutely beautiful, fun, energetic, and reflective. I hope it becomes a Christmas 🎄 tradition.
just a great christmas show all around! Kaskade xmas!!
I’ve been to many Kaskade concerts and what a unique experience! Hearing songs off his Christmas albums, plus his slower songs from Fire & Ice were so special, since those are songs Kaskade isn’t usually going to perform. The venue, with 97 years of history, was the icing on the cake. It was super intimate and you could tell everyone there was a genuine fan. The visuals, stage decor and everyone’s festive attire made for a perfect Christmas event!
I didn't know what to expect. But Kaskade pulled of the best EDM/Christmas program ever. Put me in the Christmas spirit and hope he comes back to LA. I'll make this a Holiday tradition if he returns.
I sat on balcony in section 3 about 4th to the last row and I could still see more than going to a normal event place since it was theater style seating. It’s preferable for me since I’m shorter and have trouble seeing the stage. The sound is amazing in that theater, everything about the sound and setting made the show much more enjoyable. Would definitely see a music event here again.
Hands down best Christmas show EVER!!! It was truly magical and such a vibe!! Blessed to have been able to experience this!
