A LITTLE MORE - KASKADE

As one of the world's biggest DJ's, Kaskade gets no shortage of attention when he drops a new track. Within less than 24 hours his newest single "A Little More" has garnered over 60k listens on his Soundcloud. And for good reason. Sticking with his classic progressive house style, Kaskade works with John DaHlback to create a synth heavy track that is soon be heard at clubs and festivals all throughout the world. Get the track below and be sure to get it on iTunes.

KASKADE REDUX EP

Kaskade's latest tour hasn't been full of his usual bass drops and festival anthems. His Redux tour puts on display his true abilities as an electronic music artist. The slower house jams are  have been exclusive to vinyl but he has recently released his Redux EP in a digital format. Among the tracks including "Ain't Gotta Lie" and "No One Knows Who We Are" are the stems for the former track. He has challenged fans to use the stems in order to take the original to a new level saying "I'd happily pass out the pieces of every song I've made for others to use. Remix that. Use that. Think you can do better? Show me?" Get his EP HERE and listen to some of his Redux set below.

 

EDC LINEUP

EDC has just released their lineup for Vegas 2014 and it is pretty killer. Pretty much everyone you could possible expect to be there will be putting on a show. 

 

 Yeah I know, they crammed so many artists in there that you can barely read it. Click the picture to get a better look. A few of the people I'm excited for are Audien, Adrian Lux, Bro Safari, Fedde Le Grand, Avicii, and Pete Tong. After reading through the list, I can't really see anyone that's missing, but there are more to be announced. Probably why this show has been sold out for a while now...

KASKADE - ROOM FOR NOISE MASHUP

One of my favorite songs right now is a mashup of Tiesto, Swanky Tunes, and Dyro's "Make Some Noise" and Kaskade's "Room For Happiness". Kaskade uses his own track for the intro and uses Tiesto's for the drop, both combining for a sick track introduced by Kaskade at Chicago's EDC.
