Review: Kaskade @ TIL

After seeing Kaskade in december, i knew this would not be an event to miss. Got to TIL early (around 11)to avoid problems, and was in right away.

For the first time at TIL, i must say i was impressed with the look of the club, I think the layout is really good as the dj booth is in a perfect location right in front of the of the dance floor (i hate clubs with obscure dj booths)

Manzone & Strong played an awesome opener, a lot of dirty basslines combined with some great classics!

Kaskade came on about 1ish. Opened with the new dirty south remix of 'sorry' Great starting song! His set was killer as expected. Similiar to the set he threw down in december, but with a lot of different stuff too. (which is fine with me, since his december set was my favourite of last year)

I like the club 'TIL' better than footwork. However, the vibe at footwork was waaaay better. Around 2ish at peak time, way to much pushing and shoving going on, but as the pretentious boos crowd thinned out, it was a lot better. Overall, the music was 10/10 from the time i walked in, until i left! Vibe was decent, but nothing compared to footwork in december.

nope, kaskade - sorry (dirty south remix)

- M&S rocked open and close. They know that room better than anyone else. Supertramp FTW
- I'd say Kaskade had 2 moments of absolute brilliance, time stood still in the club and everyone was in awe.
- Some really original tunes from Kaskade, a ton of overdone vocals but they were all very fresh sounding, some weird ones tho (Spektrum - Kinda New and Royksopp - What Else Is There?). They just seemed random and out of place.
- His last 35 mins were pretty dope, like ultra slow (118 BPM), night time glam sexy beats. Everyone was in a daze.
- Kaskade brought out the women, there was like a 5 to 1 girls to guys ratio last night bahah
- His exit was probably the quickest, most abrupt I've ever seen, security ran him out like he was the President lol
- Nelly Furtado was in the club. Can anyone else confirm?

Tunes
Kaskade - Be Still <------ HOLY FUCKING TUNE, vocals don't get much better than this folks
Kaskade - Everything (Big Room Mix) <---- brought the house down, wow
Sneaky Sound System - Pictures (Tonite Only Remix) <-- one of the best electro/crunch songs ever made
Nelly Furtado - All Good Things Come to An End (Kaskade Remix?) <-- sick
Madonna - Jump (Axwell Remix) <- well programmed in, it sounded fresher than ever
Kaskade - In This Life
Kaskade - Stars Align (Andy Caldwell Remix)
Sunfreakz - Countin Down the Days (Axwell Remix)
Depeche Mode - I Just Can't Get Enough (Dirty South Remix)
Spektrum - Kinda New (Tiefshwarz Remix)
Royksopp - What Else is There? (Trentemoller Remix)
Kaskade - Sorry (Dirty South Remix)
Late Night Alumni - Empty Streets (not sure which remix)
- Lyrics "new york blockin beats" something to that extend (Toby help)


Overall, I wasn't blown away by Kaskade, but he did bring something really different/ fresh to the table. There was a real sense of "meh I want it harder, but it's nice to hear this right now", his sound really complimented the space. His mixing and stage presence were kind of avg and like I mentioned his quick exit left a bad taste in my mouth. BUT in the end I'll let the tunes speak for themselves, and classify last night as a quality/memorable set! A lot of those tracks will be around for a while.

Ha... was just thinking about my "miami moment".. at ultra fest, sander was playing to a crowd of probably 10,000 people... he drops the dirty south remix of sorry. right at the breakdown it starts to rain lightly, and everyones hands go in the air. at that moment, everything was perfect... and the pills were pretty fucking good to

I had a blast!!!!!!!! got to bring out my friends to TIL.. and Kaskade delivered.. Joe & Fab great opening set!!

My review:

- I never care about the "see and be seen" crowd at TIL but on Friday night they got the best of me- annoying as hell, pushy, and aggressive
- I was very very much looking forward to seeing Kaskade as his most recent sets have blown me away so I went into this with high expectations
- Best ive heard of Manzone and Strong in awhile- they always deliver but they were on fire on Friday.
- Kaskade played everything I wanted to hear- EVERYTHING. I sang almost his entire set at the top of my lungs and danced my little heart out however....
- He left something to be desired. So many tunes, such a fresh sound, but no filler, nothing creative to bring it all together in between.
- His exit was way too much for me aswell- four security guards? peace. Just shake the sketchbags hands and be done with it, honestly.

All in all tunes were fantastic, exactly my cup of tea but something was missing for me in his set that I can't quite put my finger on. Crowd was pushy, no shocker. Good friends, all in all another great night out.

hah I did die- I ran up to the front of the stage, and almost got in a fist fight with a girl because I was standing in her friend's "space". Beat it FFS.
