5.0 out of 5 stars ..:to all house collectors:.., August 23, 2008

This review is from: Here and Now (MP3 Download)

Kaskade's "Here and Now" released in May 2006 (double CD) pack with hits like "It's you it's me" (2003), "Everything" (2005), "Sweet love" (2004)", "Still, still, still" (2006), "Soundtrack to the soul (2004)" and my all time favorite "Steppin' out (2004)". If you like house music and or chillout then add "Kaskade - Here and now" to your collection. You will not be disappointed.

..:History:..
Ryan Raddon (aka Kaskade) moved to Salt Lake City in 1992 to attend the University of Utah. During this time he owned and operated a local record store, Mechanized Records. In May 2000, Ryan Raddon moved to San Francisco and began working as an A&R assistant for Om Records. Releasing his first single "What I Say" on the label in 2001.

Kaskade's fourth solo album Love Mysterious was released in September 2006. The first single from the album, "Be Still", reached #4 on Billboard Magazine's Hot Dance Club Play. The single features vocalist Sunsun, and includes remixes by Jay-J and Robbie Rivera. Follow up single "Stars Align" hit number #8 on "Billboard Magazine" Hot Dance Airplay chart and just missed the top ten, #11, on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. His third single released from "Love Mysterious", "Sorry", was his third consecutive top ten hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay Chart, at #9. Dirty South provided a remix for "Sorry." The remix has been nominated for a 2008 Grammy for Best Remixed Recording. Although unconfirmed, many people believe that he may have taken his name from the Detroit band the Kaskades, who broke up in late 2006.

Upon signing with Ultra Records in late 2006, Kaskade subsequently left OM Records and now only releases with the former.

Most recently Kaskade has worked with Canadian house/electronic DJ/artist: "Deadmau5", to help produce some tracks on Strobelite Seduction. Including the first single, released as an EP, Move For Me. The single became his fifth top ten hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay Chart, so far peaking at number 6.

1.0 out of 5 stars Blah..., June 28, 2009

By	LordGalvatron (Tx, it sucks...) - See all my reviews

I expected more, hearing all the hype about Kaskade. I recently stumbled upon his "Late Night Alumni:Empty Streets" music, and I bought the CD. Here was a CD with smooth character and an even smoother vocal artist working with him. I expected more of this awesomeness with his solo stuff.

I expected too much from Kaskade.

This album was an impulse buy in faith, that at least one @#$%ing track would be worth listening to. Alas, there is not even one. All of the tracks are flat, soul-less, and pedestrian. How this guy stays in the spotlight is anyone's guess. It sure has nothing to do with talent, that is for sure. How Late Night Alumni came from him is a mystery to me...

I was a fool to buy on impulse, so in the future, I'll stick to Rob Dougan and Tiesto for my trance needs. Kaskade sucks.
