Kaskade Announces California Drive-In NYE Event
Kaskade is looking forward to bidding 2020 goodbye with one last hurrah. The producer added a NYE drive-in concert to his schedule, set to take place in Norco, California just outside of Los Angeles.

Kaskade Speeds Ahead With Second Monstercat & Rocket League Single, “Solid Ground”

The producer’s latest, “Solid Ground,” is a colorful house release that presents a stark stylistic contrast to the Kaskade’s first Monstercat offering, “Flip Reset.” The song strikes a balance between candid, melancholic breakdowns and invigorating drops with its heart-tugging vocals, proving to be the perfect transitional catalyst. Kaskade hits the gas, releasing a barrage of melodic leads, dicing things up with powerful low end growls and flashing appearances of the dance music vet’s signature deep house basslines in a flurry.

Kaskade and Project 46 Drop Hypnotic “Chilled” Version of “Chains”
