Bring The Night
Kaskade
Kaskade’s new mix compilation Bring The Night spent weeks at the #1 position on iTunes’ Dance Albums for a reason: funky electric beats, soul-soaked vocals, catchy-as-hell melodies, and such an overall diversity of artists and sounds that anything else you listen to just sounds tired and typical.
The tracklisting blends several of Kaskade’s own tracks and remixes, including mixes of Nelly Furtado’s “All Good Things (Come To An End)”, Floetry’s “Supastar”, and his artist track “Sorry” remixed by Dirty South, with a crunchy trail mix of underrated creations by artists like Axwell, Armand Van Helden, Bob Sinclar, D.O.N.S., and David Tort & Fedde Le Grand. Not one of the disc’s fifteen selections is fill, but as with all great compilations, it’s the closing song that stands out amongst all that came before and lingers in your ear for days. The track is “Hearts Reaction” and the group is Summer Of Space, the musical union of Kaskade and Finn Bjarnson with the gossamer vocals of Haley Gibby. The track alone is worth the price of admission.
Seems Kaskade’s finally been sleeping with the right people or something, because his musical ingenuity is finally being recognized, and his remix abilities have recently been commissioned for Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, The Pussycat Dolls, Justin Timberlake, and Seal. Keep an eye on this one - the attention he’s getting is finally catching up with his talent.
