The lovely Nervo twins are at it again, this time releasing a new webisode featuring video from last summer's Identity Tour and announcing new US tour dates for the summer. The girls will be busy, making stops across the entire country including doubleheaders. No news on a local stop at this point, but let's cross fingers for an EDC NYC visit! We are also awaiting news on this summer's upcoming Identity Tour, which launched last year with Kaskade , Nervo and Avicii on the bill. Nervo Summer Tour Dates [...]
Get More: Kaskade & Skrillex , Lick It , Music , More Music Videos Our favorite Mormon DJ (And America's too ), Kaskade, has premiered the video for his hit off of his Fire and Ice album, Lick It . Lick It is a collaboration with Skrillex, and really incorporates the the finer styles of each DJ. The retro synth-lines of Kaskade work side by side with Skrillex's signature bass-belching, and the track [...]
So here I am, cruising through the deep recesses of the interwebs when I happen upon a mysterious link to a Kaskade & Skrillex official video. "Hm, 'Lick It', that's a good song I bet it's a good video too!" First Reaction to the video was utter shock and confusion. On the second time through I was [...]
(Pictured above: Childish Gambino; Main Stage; Coachella) Day 2 of Coachella immediately got off with a bang. I started my day by watching a rapper I have always wanted to see live, Childish Gambino! As you know we at BeforeBigs.com are huge fans of the comedian turned rapper and it was great to see him [...]

Today, "Lick It," the next single from Kasakde's 'Fire & Ice' album has been re-released with 3 tasty remixes from Datsik, Norman Doray, and Alex Kenji. I see this track as being quite a challenge for producers to remix, without drifting too far away from the original or sticking way to close to it. Finding that balance is certainly a battle, and these remixes are what was left from the bloodshed. Datsik remix is a little bit of a weak dubstep rendition, Alex Kenji makes the track a little more clubby but for the most part sticks very close to [...]
We are all a little butt-hurt (especially [GMM]) that Kaskade's Ultra Set was never released. However, rumors from the deep interwebs revealed that this was due to the setlist containing a multitude of new tracks being released for his Freaks of Nature Tour , and not overt stinginess. This is all old, tear-jerking news, though! Today, [...]
One of our favorite tracks from Kaskade's Fire & Ice was "Lick It," his collaboration with Skrillex. Aside from the sheer shock value of these two incredibly different artists working together, the resulting track turned out to be one hell of a disco-glitchy groove. There was a lot going on in the original, between Kaskade's bouncy bassline, big build-ups, and Skrillex's wobbly touches; each of the three remixes released today plays on different elements from "Lick It," making for a great remix package that has something for every kind of dance fan. Check out [...]

Syracuse's University Mayfest / Block party is easily one of the greatest weekends of an undergrad's existence at the Upstate playground. While the early fall is marked by syllabus week, Jewish holidays, and a general lack of responsibility - the spring, in opposition to finals and mounting stress, is made epic by this weekend of debauchery , which was originally intended for academic focus...what suckers Past performers at Cuse's Carrier Dome for this event have included Drake, Kid Cudi, Nas, and others, while this year the always-grinding University Union seemed to [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , RPM Getty While Friday's lineup provided an almost perfect balance of dance and electronica , Saturday is a bit more scattered, skewing towards the stadium-house, "EDM" side of things, thus we'll be avoiding the rave tent at all costs, save one early exception . Despite some of the more regrettable choices made by the festival's programmers (ie booking Swedish House Mafia both as [...]

Just as promised the downloadable version of Room for Happiness has been made available. Enjoy! Kaskade ft. Skylar Grey - Room For Happiness (Candyland Remix)

Candyland is an up and coming dj group from Santa Barbara CA. This new remix just dropped minutes ago and is nothing short of amazing.

I will be doing a full bio on them with my favorite songs in the near future, so keep an [...]
They've given us Nocturnal Wonderland, taken us Beyond Wonderland, helped us Escape from Wonderland, and blinded us with White Wonderland. Now, the kind folks at Insomniac are back with Wet Wonderland, a weekly pool party at Marquee. If you like big beats and itty-bitty-bikinis, then this is the Wonderland for you. The new event begins on April 29, when Kaskade returns to Sin City. We're still waiting on further artist announcements, but we'll keep you posted as soon as we hear anything. "The Dayclub experience is an incredible place to showcase what Marquee and Insomniac do [...]

His best work to date as I see it- Austin Eterno ex-Dj Plaidapus - pulls this mashup together elegantly. Best of The XX, best of Deadmau5. This has already got a lot of praise all over the place but I thought I'd throw my hat in too. Keep the good mashups coming sound a lot like 3LAU .

Named America's best DJ by DJ Times and Pioneer last year, Kaskade releases the 3rd single from his 7th studio album 'Room For Happiness'. The single features the beautiful and etheral vocals of US singer songwriter Skylar Grey who also co-wrote the record. In 2012, Kaskade will appear at this year's Coachella and will hit the road in June for his biggest headlining tour ever — 70-plus North American shows in just over three months.
