House veteran Kaskade has released Redux EP 002, the follow-up to his Redux EP 001 which dropped in 2014.

Kaskade Remixes Alicia Keys’ ‘In Common’

Alicia Keys‘ afrobeats-influenced single “In Common” has received a house remix from Kaskade. The veteran DJ/producer’s version combines Alicia’s sultry vocals with a new bass-heavy instrumental.
“I listened to the song and loved it immediately,” Kaskade said in a statement. “Alicia Keys’ voice is huge in this vulnerable way. And deep house is just another spin on what she’s doing. I couldn’t help myself. I didn’t even ask for – or get – permission. I pulled the parts together myself, put them back together in my way, and sent it to her.”

Kaskade Releases ‘Never Sleep Alone’ Video
Following his appearance at the International Music Summit in Hollywood last week, veteran DJ/producer Kaskade today released a video for his new single “Never Sleep Alone.” The forward-thinking song is his debut on Warner Bros. Records, which he signed to in January.
Although the track has amassed nearly one million SoundCloud plays since its release two weeks ago, it hasn’t been without criticism. Some fans were quick to attack Kaskade for jumping on the “future house bandwagon” while others defended the long-time producer, saying he’s made similar tracks before.
Kaskade laughed it off though. When DJcity asked him at IMS how he feels about the criticism, he replied: “I just don’t like the word ‘future house,’ because house is the future. There’s no such thing as future house. We’ve been living in the future since freaking 1982.”

Kaskade Releases New Single, ‘Never Sleep Alone’
Last month, Kaskade debuted his new single “Never Sleep Alone” during a back-to-back set with Skrillex at the Holy Ship! festival. A low-quality rip of the song has been floating around the Internet since then, but today, the official version was finally released.
“Never Sleep Alone” features the vocals of emerging singer Tess Comrie and sees Kaskade blending his signature dream-like production with elements of future house.

SoundCloud Removes 70% of Kaskade’s Content
Earlier today, Kaskade revealed that 70% of his uploads have been taken down by SoundCloud. The legendary house DJ/producer spoke out about the situation in a series of tweets:
I have gotten 32 emails like this over the past 2 days… *end of an era pic.twitter.com/LRT9IUqJrM
— Kaskade (@kaskade) June 4, 2014
I imagine over the next week my entire sound cloud will be taken down. Sorry but there is nothing I can do here.
— Kaskade (@kaskade) June 4, 2014
It's a bummer as I have worked to build that page up and put great stuff on there. (*shrugs shoulders) ahhh well.
— Kaskade (@kaskade) June 4, 2014
Although 70% of my sound cloud has been taken down you might want to consider visiting it and grabbing those last bits…
— Kaskade (@kaskade) June 4, 2014
Kaskade then announced that he’ll be building his own direct-to-fan site, which we presume will be similar to the one Deadmau5 launched last year:
Yes, so I will move forward with constructing my own portal where I can share what I like when I like.
— Kaskade (@kaskade) June 4, 2014
It didn’t take long for Kaskade’s label Ultra Music to respond though. The company’s reply suggests that they’re currently working with SoundCloud to restore his content:
Nice! Just wanna share w/ others. Is that so wrong? “@ultrarecords: @kaskade we don't know how it happened, but it should be back up asap!”
— Kaskade (@kaskade) June 4, 2014
Even if Kaskade gets his content back, the current situation reaffirms concerns that SoundCloud is increasingly becoming a hostile platform for DJs and producers.
Recent reports have indicated that SoundCloud is in talks with major labels to stem the tide of “unauthorized uploads.” This has led many analysts to believe that the current barrage of take down notices are a result of possible negotiations.
So how will this affect the DJ and producer community at large? Numerous people have reported similar issues in recent weeks, but many of them aren’t fortunate enough to have the relationships and leverage of artists such as Kaskade.
Have you been affected by take down notices from SoundCloud? Do you have plans to switch to another service? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
