America’s #1 DJ, as voted by people who probably don’t get out much, just released his latest album today. In all fairness Kaskade‘s album is actually a pretty interesting listen. Instead of being a normal album, it’s been turned into a special two CD release. Disc 1 is called Fire with every track featuring a collaboration with a artists (seems like a lot of people are doing more collabs on albums these days) and disc 2, Ice, contains all the songs from Fire, though remixed by Kaskade. It offers a nice balance between the original tracks, but I’m kinda left feeling like I had an overdose of Kaskade and need an intracardiac injection of epinephrine to keep me alive.
One of the better tracks on the album is a collaboration with Dada Life. You can tell straight up that the base was more than likely done by Dada Life and vocals were handled by Kaskade. Thankfully they go together almost seamlessly and it’s worlds away from the vocals on Fight Club Is Closed.

good looks on this track. being a huge dada life fan i was really curious to hear what this would sound like (i was wondering if it would be like their Dynasty remix). Your analysis seems spot on…definitely Dada basslines with Kaskade vox (has elements of Happy Violence in it).
And you def hit the nail on the head with the Kaskade comment about him being #1 in America. I’d be more likely to award that to Wolfgang Gartner or Porter Robinson personally speaking.

or Diplo or A-Trak…
though Kaskade DID kill it at Identity this year
