"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).

Hands down the best EDM event I've been to all year. Kaskade did a beautiful job with mixing his music and the graphics.... omg, the graphics! It was an amazing night and I I could relive it!
The stage and lights were top notch, kaskade designed the whole stage by himself. The music and whole atmosphere of the concert was truly unforgettable. Kaskade is the best DJ out there in my opinion. Anyone who wants to try and see if they like progressive house should see someone like kaskade.
I've seen Kaskade multiple times. He amazes me everytime, but his Atmosphere tour at Navy Pier was absolutely incredible! The energy he puts into his shows is just plain awesome!!!! I want to do it again!
One of those sets that gives you the chill. Music was awesome and crowd was awesome! There were points where you can feel the ground move because people were all jumping with the beats.
Kaskade as well as Late Night Alumni and Amtrac and all of the guests appearances were great. Incredible show from start to finish.
Kaskade killed it at barclays. Hands down one of the best concerts. So high energy and so dope. Mixed a bunch of new and old stuff.
Best concert. Kaskade is a legend! However I wish the music was louder!
What can be said about this tour? Everything! The production, the energy and the set flow was on point
Kaskade was good and the overall performance was spectacular. However, during the bag search the lady at that was at the door insisted that i throw my re-usable water bottle away. I had attended an event two nights ago, and i was allowed to bring the bottle in. There was no event details that was posted to inform me of what items i could bring and what was prohibited. Most events would inform what is allowed and what isn't. I would like some compensation for this inconvenience because I am very upset at the fact that I was not informed prior and so I would have abided by the rules.
This might have been the only show of this type that I've seen, but this has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Best night of my lifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Amazing!! Epic show. Venue was clean n orangized! Easy to get to and sound system was awesome, looking forward to more shows here!!!
Kaskade Killed it! Couldn't say anything more!!!!!
Kaskade was incredible! He played a lot of his hits including Fire in your shoes and Skyler Gray surprised everyone when she came out during room for happiness (my favorite of his). A lot of room to dance considering the GA seating situation. He makes it so everyone can see him no matter where you're located in Barclay Center.
Unbelievable concert. He is not just a concert it is an experience. Every single song, every single transition was flawless. The stages were awesome too. The lighting was fantastic. What I am trying to say is go see him if you can.
The best in EDM event I ever seen. Great performance in a great venue.
the lights were amazing and i love kaskade so i love kaskade
I really loved how he plays almost all his songs!!!! It felt so awesome to be there and feel that amazingly positive energy that his music exudes on a grand scale. I hope to see him again in the future!!!!
Best set i've listened to in my entire life. Amazing experience.
This was spectacular! I had a blast with my sister and her friend. The atmosphere was exciting and memorable. Barclay' was clean and the staff was incredibly helpful and nice. Will come again!
