Arjan Interviews Kaskade

"I make epic, emotional dance music. There's always an epic flavor to it, but it is more organic than what is currently out there. It is funny that a lot people listen to my music and they say 'oh this is dance music?' and I say of course. Dance music can have melody too! If people like Justin Timberlake or Nelly Furtado come to me for a remix they like the fact that I'm a songwriter as well and they want to hear a different spin on their song. It sort of an entry level dance sound. I started playing in small cocktail bars but now I play huge crowds and my thing has always been to keep the sound small and soulful but adding an epic flavor to it"
-- Kaskade (aka Ryan Reddon) tells Arjan in an interview for Bravo TV's OutZone TV.

Kaskade and I talked a couple of weeks ago about his new remix CD "Bring The Night" that is available now on Ultra Records. The DJ/songwriter/producer put together an excellent mixtape of some really great house remixes, including his chart-topping remix of Nelly Furtado's "All Good Things." You can stream bits of the album here.
