Top 10 of 2013: Kaskade - Atmosphere

I love that a lot of producers are beginning to make albums these days. Making an album is hard. EDM producers are used to just cranking out singles, and each one can be totally unrelated to the next. With an album, there has to be some sort of cohesiveness to it that brings it all together. There have been many attempts by producers to create albums this year, but I do not think anyone did it better than Kaskade did on Atmosphere.


I love that Kaskade was finally able to blend his two styles together to make this amazing full length release. It was the perfect combination of old Kasakde and current Kaskade. Tracks like Atmosphere, Last Chance and Feeling the Night are his party bangers that can be heard at festival's around the world. On the flip-side, he has some more deep house kind of tunes like the three tracks that chart different (and i'm sure, for Kaskade, frequently traveled) flight paths across America.


The album also has some cool and interesting features. The familiar female vocalists: Becky Jean Williams, Haley and Lights all make an appearance, as well as Lat Night Alumni, the electronic band from Salt Lake City that Kaskade is a member of. He also brings on some new and interesting features like School of Seven Bells or Zip Zip Through The Night. The track Something Something with Zip Zip Through The Night became one of my favorite tracks on the album after multiple listens through. I love how different it is for an EDM Producer to create, and I love how Kaskade is always willing to experiment with his music. Check it out below


This is a great EDM album. If you haven't your support one way or another for Kaskade, Do it now! Follow him on Facebook for tour dates and listen to his tunes on the Audible Twilight Best of 2013 Playlist!
