On the same day that a DJ Times poll named him "America's Best DJ 2011," Kaskade aired his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, a monstrous, 38-track grab bag of his tunes, remixes, and his colleagues in house and electro (Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Sander Van Dorn, to name a few). Now, he has given it away for free.
Ryan Raddon, the jewel in the Ultra Records crown, recently wrapped the inaugural IDentity Festival, headlining a great deal of the touring electronic music roadshow's major touchdowns. Ever prolific, there's more studio and live work to come from the house heavyweight. With a huge year for the DJ not quite in the bag, and voting wrapping up in DJ Mag's Top 100 worldwide, you can bet Kaskade is going to be making his way up the list in leaps and bounds.
