Vinyl’s From The Past: 14:44 to 18:53
I am going to take a brief break from Vinyl’s From The Past. In this limited run series, I will be exploring the pioneers that have shaped and influenced the EDM we have today. In this episode I will be featuring “Cascada”.
“Cascada” is a duo consisting of German-British singer Natalie Horler and German DJ and Producer’s DJ Manian and DJ Yanou. The group was formed in 2004. Their most notable track was “Everytime We Touch”. Here is a listen here.
“Everytime We Touch” was released in 2005 but didn’t gain widespread success until 2007. The song’s memorable melody and lyrics made it stand out. With its mixture of Eurodance, trance and pop it appealed to a large audience. This combination resulted in the track being frequently played on radio stations in the U.S; something that had previously not happened for Eurodance or trance artist. “Everytime We Touch” blazed the trail for other such acts to gain mainstream recognition.
That’s it for this week’s Vinyl’s from the past; now let’s get back to more music.

In other news
During a livestream, Deadmau5 exposed the fact that DJs at major music festivals often play pre-recorded sets. He detailed how production timelines and scheduling dictate the need to do so. According to Deadmau5 a key indicator of a pre-recorded set is when the music matches up precisely with visuals on stage.
