Kaskade Songs Ranked

Ryan Gary Raddon (born February 25, 1971), better known by his stage name Kaskade, is an American DJ, record producer, and remixer. DJ Times voted Kaskade “America’s Best DJ” in 2011 and 2013. DJ Mag named Kaskade fifty-first on its 2009 list of Top 100 DJs. In 1995, Raddon began DJing his first monthly Monday night party at a basement venue called Club Manhattan. He used this additional income to purchase studio essentials. In May 2000, Raddon moved to San Francisco with his wife where he got a job working as an A&R assistant to John Elkins at Om Records, a house and electronic label. To Raddon’s benefit, San Francisco was an emerging site of a new deep house movement. While at OM records he continued DJing and producing music. Soon after, Raddon created his alter ego, Kaskade, which his wife worried would remind people of the dish detergent. He 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. He did not take his name from the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest as fans sometimes cite. Here are all of Kaskade’s songs ranked.

10. Borrowed Theme (Strobelite Seduction, 2008)

“Melancholy songs always bring out the good and bad in reality. Kaskade’s songs usually seem to follow some kind of pattern of euphoria and/or the aftereffects. I think he once described it as “the life of the party” and then the life AFTER the party. Always love the dualism.”

9. Angel On My Shoulder (Strobelite Seduction, 2008)

“I think this song is about how we often follow the wrong and easy thoughts in our head. We often choose hate instead of compassion, addictions instead of progress, to not believe in ourselves rather than believe in ourselves. The ego is a powerful destroyer, and if you don’t learn how to control it, you’ll be in a tug o war with it until you’re on your deathbed.”

8. 4am (Love Mysterious 2006)

“Another one of my favorite music ever, I love this track so much it’s just timeless I can always go back to this and jam out to this it’s brings back so much memories. Thank you for this great music!”

7. Lick It (Fire & Ice, 2011)

“The freaking bass line is so sick omg, and then Skrillex’s sounds on top of it. Pure genius. I love the old techno Daft sound, it’s by far my all-time fav electronic sound.”

6. Llove (Fire & Ice, 2011)

“I’ve never been a huge Kaskade fan. Obviously he’s got some classic’s from back in the day that I like a lot, but I don’t listen to his productions on a regular basis very much anymore. This song, however, is excellent. Well done.”

5. It’s You It’s Me (It’s You It’s Me, 2003)

“Sweet, soulful sounds. A surprise. A small package bearing a familiar name. Contents: A sheet of paper. An unfamiliar CD. “It’s You, It’s Me” is Kaskade’s first release in his three-album deal with Om Records, though deep house lovers have been grooving to his productions and mixes for many years. Organic and deep without losing himself, for this album Kaskade worked with three vocalists whose range of R&B, soul, and house influences are the perfect complement for Kaskade’s layered soundscapes.”

4. Move for Me (The Grand 2009)

“This song is perfect for getting the butt moving when I’m feeling tired. Two great EDM artists make a great remix to an already great song! The bass is perfect for your car…”

3. Atmosphere (Atmosphere, 2013)

“This is one of the better House/Dance albums I’ve heard in recent years. One of the biggest reason I like it so much is because it isn’t what I’d like to call EDM. I like EDM, but I’m not always in the mood for it, as it normally is designed to be played at festivals and carry a lot of energy to the crowd. Sometimes I just want something cool and refreshing to relax to. Atmosphere is one of those albums that you can rave/dance to, but don’t really need to. It’s relaxing and fresh.”

2. Last Chance (Atmosphere, 2013)

“The message behind Kaskade’s songs is unbelievable! His songs have a deeper meaning than just an EDM jump around get crazy, Don’t get me wrong I go crazy to go his songs but the morals and message are what makes his music beautiful”

1. I Remember (Strobelite Seduction, 2008)

“This song makes activates my mind and remembers a lot of things like my childhood, my father, festivals… and can me cry in any situation… really, the melodies used in this song are meant to transmit you nostalgia. Music is amazing, and these guys are genius”
