There is so much great talent in the underground, and electronic music is finally getting the props that it’s deserved for so long. I feel like now that everyone is discovering it and it’s so fresh sounding to so many people. It doesn’t get any more rock n’ roll than playing EDC or the Staples Center. It’s really madness.

I love a great melody and wonderful lyrics that speak from the heart, and my music has that and speaks about it; but there’s just something that was really raw and energetic about the early House music. It’s hard to describe. It’s like you had to go to these parties where the stuff was being played on these huge sound systems to really feel it. Kaskade Read Quote
As a kid, my parents had the typical stuff going on in the home, like Bee Gees, The Carpenters. Then I got exposed to what my brothers were listening to: a lot of classic rock, Led Zeppelin. It was around the mid-’80s when the whole Electro-Techno-Pop-House music thing started happening in Chicago. Kaskade Read Quote

I don’t feel that electronic music has to stand on the back of urban artists or anyone else to be recognized. It’s great music. Kaskade Read Quote
I’m not the best singer in the world, but the albums have always been personal. They’re stories about me and what I’m going through. Kaskade Read Quote
The art of DJing is sharing music with one another… The technology’s definitely taking it into a new direction to where it’s really becoming performance-based. Kaskade Read Quote
Mix CDs are interesting. I’m known more for my artist albums and less for my mix CDs. Kaskade Read Quote
