I've always had a passion for music, but I never saw me as a musician for a living. I never thought that I could make a living. It never dawned on me. Kaskade dawnhavelive Change image and share on social
I do feel like there's a level of ridiculousness going on in electronic music... It's getting borderline absurd out there. Kaskade absurdborderlineelectronic Change image and share on social
I DJ'd for years. I DJ'd in high school, and I think my parents thought it was a passing thing. And then when I was in my second year of college, I was like, 'Yeah, you guys don't need to send me money anymore. My DJ gigs are good enough. I'm selling music; I think I'm gonna have a record deal. I can pay my tuition.' Kaskade anymorecollegedeal share on social
It's weird, when I go back to San Francisco, the few times that I've done shows there since leaving, it still feels like I live there. It's very, very strange for me. That's where my daughter was born, at UCSF. I have this huge attachment to San Francisco. It's like a love affair. Kaskade affairattachmentback share on social
If you listen to a Deadmau5 record or a Skrillex record, I really enjoy that stuff because, as aggressive sounding as the Skrillex records are, they're still musical, and that's why they have such a broad appeal. Kaskade aggressiveappealbroad share on social
When I can control my own show, I want the price to be affordable so fans can actually see me. It's a challenge because I have to do a lot of navigating to make the production stellar but do it on a realistic budget. Kaskade affordablebudgetchallenge share on social
To do more of a concert thing, it takes so much preparation. You don't just show up and wing it. You're putting countless hours in the studio, not just to write and produce stuff, but to come up with edits and special things for the show. Kaskade concertcountlessedit share on social
The art of DJing is sharing music with one another... The technology's definitely taking it into a new direction to where it's really becoming performance-based. Kaskade artbasedirection Change image and share on social
