Anyone have any Kaskade sets at all? I'm wanting to go see him when he comes through at the end of January and I was wondering how good he is... Any sets or comments?

Re: Kaskade stuff

go see them:!: they produce some top quality (deep) house tunes. I don't know what they have been up to recently but there in the moment cd was really great.

Re: Kaskade stuff

i thought it was one dude. i missed him when he came through town, but heard it was good. i would recommend both of his cds, san fran sessions & house of om. i would describe his house as more light & fluffy. but others say deep.

Re: Kaskade stuff

They were in pittsburgh here last week and I didn't go unfortunately.... I can ask the guys that went though....

Re: Kaskade stuff

only one guy. started out in salt lake so he comes here quite often. light fluffy house is more correct to describe it. average show imo nothing to go nuts over but pretty cool nonetheless.

however, everytime ive seen him it was in salt lake and he might not give it his all since he comes out so often. id be interested to see some other reviews

Re: Kaskade stuff

Seen him a number of times in Calgary. If anything else, it's topnotch handbag house and the ladies come in full force. As far as the actual music goes, I've definetly heard some really medicore and "fluffy" sets from him. Somehow though, last set I heard from him was one of the best deep house sets I've heard in a long time. I'd say leave your preconceptions at the door, bring some lady friends, and your sure to have a good night.

Re: Kaskade stuff

Have seen him twice in Minneapolis. Laid back house would be my description. Really good summer music though.

Re: Kaskade stuff

yeah just picked up some of their tunes very nice alright

i have picked a few up today mate if you want to hit me on slsk

Re: Kaskade stuff

I've got a few of his sets as well. You can hit me up on slsk (username = chantarene).

As far as production goes ... I used to buy a lot of his tracks a couple of years ago. It was pretty good (mostly vocal type) house. Definitely a bit on the fluffy side, but nice and sexy. As of late he's gotten a bit too cheesy for my taste. More of a mainstream vocal house sound.

Set-wise, it's hit and miss for me. I dig most of his studio mixes (such as San Francisco Sessions, Sounds of OM, etc) but the live sets that I've heard are a bit too "big room" vocal type stuff. Then again, I'm extremely picky when it comes to this style of music because I play mostly deep house.

I would suggest the same thing that MetroSoul did ... just go and have a good time. Kaskade is a good DJ and I'm sure he'll play what's appropriate for the venue/crowd. He's quite nice on the eyes too (not that you care). ;)

Re: Kaskade stuff

I have his first CD. Is his House of OM CD worth picking up?
