EDC LV 2023 Lineup Artist of the Day: Kaskade Redux
Genre: House
Kaskade walks a difficult line for a DJ/producer of his stature. His main stage sets at such festivals as EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival and Tomorrowland call upon him to play the high-energy style of music for which he's become a household name in recent years. Be that as it may, Kaskade (real name Ryan Raddon) still finds opportunities to pay homage to his house music roots. With house music on the rise, however, those opportunities may be bigger than ever - and Raddon himself doesn't seem to have decided whether he thinks that's a good thing. He routinely performs DJ sets under his own event brand called Redux. In the interest of playing more classically inspired cuts for smaller crowds, he strips away the extravagant production values in favor of more intimate venues.
I'm sure everyone knows who Kaskade is and his Redux sets but just wanted to shed a little more light on it. I have yet to see a Redux set yet and I really hope to catch it at EDC but they tend to be during sunrise so this is going to be quite a struggle for me. He used to do it as a surprise art car set but I'm pretty sure it was way overcrowded.
Songs: Room For Happiness v3, Love Like That, It's You, It's Me (Literally my favorite Kaskade song for all time, gets me in my feels)
