Turntables are a capricious lot. One day they demand electro or minimal; the next they want anything but. This is, of course, what makes dance music exciting: the fluidity of movement between genres allows the DJ to be not just a technician, but a musical prophet of sorts--someone who gives the people what they want before they know they want it. And few know this drill better than Bay Area house maestro Kaskade, whose follow-up to last year's Love Mysterious, Bring the Night, is a DJ mix that aspires to nothing more than making you shake it. He wastes no time getting to the point with the opener, Axwell's "I Found U," a track with an old-school vibe that could turn a convention of CPAs into a pack of gyrating house converts. Kaskade's own remixes--of Nelly Furtado's lilting "All Good Things (Come to an End)" and Floetry's "SupaStar" (mixed in key with Milton Jackson's ecstatic "Cycles")--shine against a solid supporting cast that includes the most recognizable names in dance music, such as Armand van Helden, Bob Sinclar, and Fedde le Grand. You have to hand it to a guy who one minute can put out an album of some of the most intelligent and moving house on offer, and the next get behind the decks and unpretentiously blow up the dance floor. Bravo. --Brent Kallmer

5.0 out of 5 stars he keeps getting better..., September 10, 2007

By	M. Adams - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

With no signs of slowing down, Kaskade has done it again with this great mix CD to follow up his super performance to his "love mysterious" album. This mix CD exceeds expectations to provide numerous house groovin' songs, which will have you playing them repeatedly. The songs on this album are quick and to the point, no long build up's and short & smooth transitions into the next track. The songs have great variety and flow ranging from soulful to down right crazy funky grooves that force you to throw your hand with the beat. This mix CD is perfect if you want to take a break from your drawn-out trance CD's and want to take advantage of experiencing one of the hardest working and creative DJ's in the biz.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hearts Reaction , February 19, 2009

By	J. Asahguii "rwemersonrw" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bring The Night (MP3 Download)

Kaskade's album is average at best. Hearts Reaction, nonetheless, is a breathtaking song. I spent $15 on an album that I hate on a DJ who is pretty commercial, but I have no regrets. Simply put, Hearts Reaction is the best "afterhours cruising/chilling in NYC" song I have ever heard.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kaskade - Bring the Night, October 4, 2007

By	T. Snyder "TS" (AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been a big fan of Kaskade's for a few years now. I love his original CD's - where he produces/creates the music himself. I love turning new people on to his music. So I am very sad to say that his newest "Bring the Night" really left me disappointed.

This is definitely NOT in the same vein of his previous works. It's louder and more annoying. If it didn't have Kaskade's picture on the front of the cover, I would never have guessed it for a Kaskade mix cd.

It's not really smooth, sexy, late-night listening. It was really missing his usual chill-out cool vibes. So if that's what you were hoping for, please look elsewhere.

The really sad thing is that the songs themselves are just not that great, the beats especially. The irritating thing is I know Kaskade could create a much better album if he just did it all himself.

If you're into louder, more club anthems, then maybe you'll like this. But if you're just a fan of Kaskade's other stuff, then I'd steer clear of this one.
