One of My Favorite House DJs

One of the hottest House DJs is Kaskade!!

Kaskade is an American DJ and a record producer.  His real name is Ryan Raddon.  He was born February 25, 1971.  In 1989 to 1990, Kaskade practiced his DJ skills in his dorm room at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

On September 9, 2011, a DJ Times poll voted Kaskade "America's Best DJ 2011".  

On October 20, 2011, DJ Magazine announced the results of their annual Top 100 DJ Poll, with Ultra Records, and Kaskade placed at #30.

Kaskade rose to prominence alongside producers Deadmau5 and Wolfgang Gartner during the revival of American progressive in late 2008-early 2009. His style is mostly bassline minimal, although he occasionally likes to add sudden very abrasive leads and breaks. 

Kaskade released his first single "What I Say" on the label in 2001. In the Moment saw Kaskade's first top 10 single with "Steppin' Out" reaching #5 on Billboard's Magazine’s Hot Dance Club Play chart and #6 on Dance Radio Airplay. The fourth single to be released from the album, "Everything," reached #1 on Billboard Magazine’s Hot Dance Club Play.

Kaskade took his stage name from a nature book when he saw a picture of a waterfall and a co-worker agreed "cascade" was a good choice, but he then changed the spelling.

Kaskade worked with Canadian house/electronic DJ/artist deadmau5 to produce 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, reaching the number one position in its September 6, 2008 issue. It also gave Kaskade his first number one single on this chart. The dance single has become a crossover hit, managing to reach number 71 on the Canadian Hot 100 as of February 14, 2009. on vocals.

Kaskade's has 5 albums out: 

• It's You, It's Me (2003)
• Love Mysterious (2006)
• Strobelite Seduction (2008)
• Dynasty (2010)
• Fire and Ice (2011)

• Move for Me
• Fire In Your New Shoes
• 4 AM
• Angel on My Shoulder
• I Remember

• Steppin’ Out

His music is really chill and relaxing.  It's not too fast paced or crazy.  It's more relaxing.  You can dance to some of his songs, but you can just lay back, relax, and listen to a lot of his songs.  For example, they are good songs to listen to while on a walk or while laying on the beach.  I just get lost in the songs and caught up in the moment.  Everything else around me just disappears!  I love it!  He's pretty hot too!!
