Kaskade Unwraps a World of Holiday Magic on Second Christmas Album

Kaskade blends his signature electronic style with holiday classics to make for the ultimate Christmas gift – Kaskade Christmas Volume 2!

Holiday magic is in full swing, and Kaskade is ready for the season with the release of Kaskade Christmas Volume 2, a masterful blend of electronic innovation and classical charm. Released on Arkade just in time for your local holiday party, this festive 12-track symphony showcases Kaskade’s ability to seamlessly capture the Christmas spirit with his signature electronic style.

The album takes listeners on a journey through familiar Christmas tunes, each reimagined with Kaskade’s signature touch. The opening track, “Caroling Caroling,” featuring long-time collaborator Late Night Alumni, sets the tone with a cinematic introduction, introducing the listener to a world where traditional melodies meet modern production.

Kaskade stays true to a lo-fi-inspired theme within this wintery body of work. Following the festive opener, a standout favorite arises. “Sleigh Ride” captures the essence of the season with a lo-fi-inspired intro that effortlessly transitions into a bouncy rendition of a Christmas classic. This track is destined to be a crowd-pleaser, making it a perfect addition to any holiday playlist.

Kaskade’s collaboration with Ardy on “White Christmas” is a cinematic and emotionally moving piece. Ardy‘s breathy vocals, combined with mellow house elements, create a song that evokes the nostalgic beauty of the holiday season. “Christmas Waltz,” with Laken Lanbson, seamlessly blends moving female vocals with electronic drops, creating a dance-worthy and emotionally resonant track. It epitomizes the unique balance of energy and sentiment that defines the album.

Throughout, Kaskade demonstrates his versatility as a producer beyond the electronic realm. From the folk-inspired acoustic guitar in “Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella” with Joshua James to the surf-rock vibes of “Joy to the World” with Guinevere, Kaskade skillfully navigates various genres, surprising listeners with unexpected elements.

While Kaskade Christmas Volume 2 follows an ostensible acoustics-to-electronic progression, it doesn’t shy away from experimentation. For instance, the track “Magic of Christmas” with Crayskool departs from the usual formula, featuring a percussion pattern reminiscent of rock and minimal electronic elements. It’s a testament to Kaskade’s commitment to keeping the listener engaged and surprised.

The album closes with “Lo How a Rose” featuring Cayson Renshaw, a track centralized around soprano vocals. Although initially overshadowed by the striking vocals, the drop ultimately accentuates the stunning musical composition.

What sets this album apart is the seamless fusion of acoustics within an electronic framework. It’s a distinctive touch that elevates the listening experience, showcasing Kaskade’s ability to navigate the realms of tradition and innovation simultaneously. While the songs with the highest streams may be the most accessible, they might only scratch the surface of the profound artistry displayed across the entire album.

Kaskade’s proficiency in weaving ephemeral cinematic moments into every track speaks to his mastery of electronic music and his command of classical symphony-style compositions. In Kaskade Christmas Volume 2, he achieves a delicate balance, offering a Christmas album that tastefully captures the holiday spirit while remaining faithful to his signature style — a feat accomplished by only a select few.

Those wanting to catch these tracks live can do so soon, as Kaskade is set to perform the yuletide-inspired album at his Kaskade Christmas event hosted at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles on December 19 – 21. While two dates are already sold out, tickets for December 19 are still available. Until then, listen to the album on Spotify or your preferred platform!
