KASKADE (FORMER CLIENT 2013 - 2017)
As a multi GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, and remixer, Kaskade is a titan in the dance music world, and a groundbreaking innovator in the music industry as a whole. He has kicked down doors and pushed boundaries in genre-defying “firsts”. He was the first DJ to conceptualize and hold down the now Pop- Star littered landscape of the Las Vegas residency. Kaskade also has the distinction of being the first ever solo electronic dance artist to sell-out both the Barclays Center in NYC and the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Billboard Magazine declared that Kaskade’s 2012 Freaks of Nature Tour was “the only successful national stadium tour undertaken by a solo electronic music artist.”
And Kaskade doesn’t stop there. His handwriting is all over the history of electronic music, with broad strokes particularly on the West Coast. In May of 2016 he broke ground with another landmark feat. Tickets sold out for his anticipated performance at the Los Angeles Convention Center in a staggering four minutes online. With 30,000 tickets sold in record time, Kaskade’s loyal fans were clamoring to witness this venue’s first time welcoming a dance music artist in its 45-year history. Kaskade completed the weekend takeover of Los Angeles by setting up a pop-up shop on Fairfax, and sold out two more LA venues.
Kaskade has nine full-length chart-topping albums, a standout characteristic in the dance music industry. His latest, Automatic [Warner Bros. Records/Arkade] claimed the #2 spot on the Billboard Dance /Electronic Albums Chart. Automatic commanded a Top 15 placement on the U.S. Digital Chart, as well as amassing over 50 million streams on Spotify in less than a year’s time. Rolling Stone asserts that “Kaskade represents an intensely positive side of dance music culture”, another cornerstone in the foundation that sets Kaskade apart.
While Kaskade has played the legendary two-weekend Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival three times, it was his epic 2015 performance that changed the game. He was the only electronic artist to take the main stage that year, and Pitchfork proclaimed that, “You see Kaskade play the main stage to a mass of humanity larger than damn near every act I’ve mentioned combined.” Mashable crunched the numbers,
placing Kaskade in The 10 most Instagrammed shows at Coachella, showing that he doesn’t only hold his own when playing alongside the biggest artists on today’s music scene, he dominates. Kaskade had more engagement “meaning likes and comments - on photos featuring relevant hashtags and keywords” related to his performance at Coachella that weekend than his fellow headliners AC/DC, Jack White and even Drake, proving that Kaskade reigns supreme.
