In 2003, Ryan Raddon, more commonly known by his fans as the famous house and trance artist Kaskade, developed his alter ego with the debut of his first hit album “It’s You, It’s Me.”

Originally from Chicago, Kaskade made his way from the windy city to New York, where he started his career as a DJ. He then moved to Salt Lake City, where he continued to explore DJing and started his own record label, Mechanized Records. In addition to his personal endeavors, Kaskade began collaborating with other professionals in the industry and sold a few tracks to Chris Smith, an A&R director for an up-and-coming house label in San Francisco, California.

It wasn’t long before Kaskade moved to San Francisco, where he was hired to assist Smith at OM Records.

After years of traveling around the United States, Kaskade discovered his love for house music in the world of electronic dance music. His full-fledged fame surfaced with the release of his album “It’s You, It’s Me” in 2003 and the subsequent hits that followed, including “In the Moment,” which was released in 2004.

Kaskade continued to climb the charts as one of the industry’s most popular house DJs with the release of “Love Mysterious” in 2006, “Strobelight Seduction” in 2008, “Dynasty” in 2010, and “Fire & Ice” in 2011.

In addition to his roster of unparalleled musical tracks, Kaskade strives to make a name for himself as one of the top live performers in the industry. Thus far, he has performed at several Insomniac events, including Electric Daisy Carnival in 2010, and he will be headlining at Insomniac’s new Christmas music festival Winter Wonderland in 2012.
