John Summit was not going to miss his New Year’s Eve performance in San Francisco for anything. The house music star was scheduled for a solo performance followed by a back-to-back DJ set with Kaskade to ring in 2023, but flight delays led to the “most stressful 24 hours of [his] life.” Just over two hours before his 10:45pm set time, Summit left his performance at San Diego’s Proper NYE festival to arrive at the airport by 9pm, only to find out that his plane was missing. “so my jet broke down and the only other option is booking a jumbo jet which only costs my life savings to make it to sf in time and u KNOW ya boi booked it,” Summit tweeted. Following an enervating two-hour wait, Summit’s plane arrived at 11:15pm. After a celebratory midnight ch...
Kaskade and John Summit are setting the tone for 2023. After Summit shockingly found out via Twitter that his own New Year’s Eve show in Sacramento was canceled due to incoming “heavy rain,” the house music star didn’t let the misfortune rain on his parade. It wasn’t long before Summit was booked to perform at Kaskade’s third annual NYE extravaganza in San Francisco, where he’s set to perform at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on December 31st. The last-minute turn of events will see Summit take the stage for an hourlong DJ set at 10:45pm before a momentous performance by Kaskade through 2am. But the early hours of 2023 will look even more glamorous, considering the two Chicago-born dance music superstars have confirmed a high-profile B2B set to k...
After headlining one of the most significant concerts in electronic music history, it seems Kx5 are determined to take the genre to places it’s never been. Not even a mid-show generator fire could stop Kaskade and deadmau5 from engrossing fans at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, where they performed for a DJ set for the ages. The show was ultimately record-breaking in scale, taking the distinction for the largest single-day concert by an electronic artist ever in North America after drawing an audience of 50,000 and netting $3.7 million. But the numbers were only part of the story. Kx5’s show was a particularly special moment for EDM. Kaksade and deadmau5 performing as Kx5 at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum on December 10th, 2022.

It may have only been their second performance ever, but Kx5 are already writing themselves into electronic music history. The formidable duo of deadmau5 and Kaskade debuted at EDC Las Vegas earlier this year to a jam-packed crowd under the electric sky, ultimately earning a nod as one of EDM.com‘s best performances of 2022. While we’d have to wait six months for their follow-up, Kx5’s appearance at the L.A. Coliseum rose to the already sky-high expectations. Now that the dust has settled, Pollstar and Billboard have confirmed the performance was record-breaking in scale. Kx5 now hold the record of having assembled the largest single-day concert by an electronic artist ever in North America. The headlining show drew a massive audience of 50,000 and netted $...
After the release of Kx5‘s latest stunning single, the hype surrounding deadmau5 and Kaskade‘s collaborative debut album is bubbling over. “When I Talk” is the fifth single to drop ahead of the album, which is expected to release in early 2023.

The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and beatsmith stuns with his spellbinding topline, which explores the difficulties of breaking the binds of a loved one who builds emotional walls. “[“When I Talk”] is about barriers. Shutting people out and dealing with that,” Elderbrook said in a statement. “The song means a lot to me, I’m so happy to have it coming out finally a...
