Kaskade unleashes another installment of his EP undux with a fresh collection of collaborative remixes via Monstercat and his personal label, Arkade.
In undux (remixes), eight-time GRAMMY-nominated producer Kaskade utilizes international electronic talent to inject his album with a brand new soundscape. Transforming introspective, lowkey tracks into club-ready grooves, the latest chapter of Kaskade is enthralling and exciting.
The original undux album shows introspection and emotion, while the remixes rewrite the work’s purpose. Undux (remixes) returns Kaskade’s sound back to the club, bringing listeners together through dance. This project effectively echoes his unwavering duality as a pensive lyricist and master producer.
The five-track EP kicks off with Disciples’ reimagined rendition of “touch.” Introducing their UK spin to the track, Disciples thickens the originally light, airy acoustics for a bass-heavy house hit.
Initially, the easy-listener “deeper” embodied a Kaskade-meets-Fleetwood Mac sound with Mia Grace’s ethereal vocals. Belgian melodic house artist Jerro flips the song’s narrative by laying a danceable beat, completely altering the perspective of the lyrics.
Dave Summer’s “started over” is a perfect midpoint of the album. One of the strongest tracks on undux (remixes), it features an adrenaline-packed build with a hypnotic halt before the drop. The drop then catapults into an intense driving beat, creating a tech-house banger.
During undux‘s initial release phase, Kaskade stirred excitement among listeners with early drops of some tracks. “Started over” was released on November 13, alongside “I can’t make you love me.”
Among the remixes, Kaskade chose to include arguably the most moving track. Suray Sertin’s remix of “unspoken” takes a tearjerker and transforms it into a textured, atmospheric track. This track reinforces the purpose of undux (remixes), which explores new perspectives of Kaskade’s deep narrative.
Finally, “heart worth breaking” brings the remixes album to an edgy, genre-bending close. This electronic fusion remix by The Halluci Nation is a complete 360 of the original. What was once a fluid, high-energy club groove became a hot pot of sound, jumping from genre to genre. All in all, the “heart worth breaking” remix is an incredible close to the album and the most altered from its original.
EDM pioneer Kaskade breaks the mold again with a new chapter of epic remixes on his latest release, undux (remixes). Collaborating with like-minded producers across the globe, he once again demonstrates his ingenuity as a creator. Stream Kaskade’s newest album, undux (remixes), wherever you listen.
