Spotlight Saturdays is a day late this weekend, and as my buddy Chris reminded me, this is unacceptable. I had an incredibly late night on Friday, and by the time I was awake and functioning the next day, more drinks were being forced down my throat as the Halloween festivities continued. Needless to say, I am alive and well as of this moment, but most likely only for another twenty four hours. Time to get to work.
Someone who has been hard at work lately is none other than Kaskade. As I’m sure most of you have heard already, Ryan has recently released his seventh studio album and it is quite the accomplishment. What I love so much about this album is the amount of variety. There are house bangers like Turn It Down, Ice, and Lick it, yet there are other tracks that are more along the lines of music you’d hear in the background of the trendiest lounges in town. What really impressed me was the true musical quality of the second disc; the ICE side. As he said in the video, Ryan made alternate versions of each of the ten tracks and I’m almost tempted to say I like them more than their more upbeat counterparts. It really showcases his true talent as a producer, being able to create masterpieces out of any style or genre. Some of the songs that I’ve put below are almost completely unrecognizable in the world of Kaskade. If you haven’t already, get out and buy the full album, it is worth every penny.
Happy Hallowasted,
Grant.

I was completely shocked to hear this on the album. So far unlike any other Kaskade song.
