Kaskade – Fire & Ice (Just Music)

<House> America’s number one DJ bangs out with his seventh album Fire & Ice this year, featuring talented guest artists on every track of this double disc set. The first disc titled Fire offers up a serving of typical high energy club beats that are very good in quality. Each track sets a tone of long, warm build ups leading to hot, uplifting, happy breaks. Track four Lick It ft. Skrillex adds in a little bit of that edgy Dubstep that is all over any electro production these days. This gives the tone of the album that extra bit of synth kick. Track seven Waste Love ft. Quadron gave me that tingly nostalgic feeling, bragging that distinct Urban House bassline. The second disc’s tracks are cooler, icier remixes of each track on the first. He takes them on a somewhat down-tempo trip, delivering beats that come off more grounded and floor heavy, showing another side to his production style, a sound reminiscent of pieces of Café Del Mar, Old school House and new school experimental Electronica, rocking repetitive kick drums and enchanting, raspy vocals.
