Book Kaskade
Kaskade is the American DJ, producer, songwriter and remixer Ryan Raddon, born February 25, 1971, a leading name in melodic house. He started DJing in 1995 at a monthly Monday night party in a basement club, then moved to San Francisco in 2000 to work in A&R at the house label Om Records. After mixing a volume of the Sounds of Om series, he landed a three-album deal and debuted with It’s You, It’s Me (2003), following with In the Moment (2004) and the singles "What I Say" and "Steppin' Out." A deal with Ultra Records in 2006 kicked off a run of fan favorites including Strobelite Seduction (2008), Dynasty (2010), Fire & Ice (2011), Atmosphere (2013) and Automatic (2015), and his catalog now runs to 17 albums, among them holiday sets, the Redux and Arkade Destinations series, undux (2025) and ORIGIN // (2026). DJ Times voted him America's Best DJ in 2011 and 2013, he has earned eight Grammy nominations, and he played Coachella in 2015. Kaskade's sets are lush, emotional and euphoric, pairing big melodies with immersive production that keeps dance floors locked in for hours.
