Kaskade from Utah released a deep house styled album in 2008. The Strobelite Seduction album was released digitally as a digital download on iTunes, emusic, Pandora, and other online music stores in 2016. The house music for this album is deep house. Strobelite Seduction can be considered as a deep house album and a dance music album due to its upbeat vibrance.

Its upbeat vibrance makes Strobelite Seduction sound similar to dance music album at times with certain songs such as Step one two, Pose, Move for Me, Back on You, Pose, Borrowed Theme, One Heart, and Angel on My Shoulder. Seduction can be considered and regarded as a Kaskade classic by fans of Kaskade, dance music, and electronic music.

Pose is a bass driven styled deep house music song. The song itself relies on a bass ridden presence heavily. Synths are quite lively on this deep house song. In some parts of the song, samples of 8-bit distortion are used. Pose is quite lively at times.

Primarily overall, the song Pose relies heavily on the presence of heavy bass and deep house electronic synths. The presence of bass used sets the song Pose apart from all the other songs off the Strobelite Seduction album.

Your love is black starts off with a violin ensemble at the beginning. Your love is black is where things start to calm down as Your love is black is a song that calms the whole mood down for the album. The song Your love is black is perfect for calming down the albums mood for the entire album.

The female vocals used on Your love is black are angelic and perfect for calming down the albums mood. Kaskade is a genius for such an idea. The acoustics accompany the beats. Everything accompanies each other on this Kaskade song.

Move for Me with Deadmau5 is a highly vibrant deep house styled song perfect for the dance floor. The beats are vibrant as well. Electronic production inside Move for Me does shimmer but not with distortion. For some reason, Move for Me has a soulful sound. The song is of decent caliber. It’s another night out on the dance floor for both Kaskade and Deadmau5. The Deadmau5/Kaskade collaboration was a genius idea. Deadmau5/Kaskade collaborations need to happen more often.

Angel on My Shoulder is where things start to pick up on this album. The volume is suddenly set to higher level without warning. Angel on my shoulder is another highly vibrant deep house styled song perfect for the dance floor. The female vocals on Angel on my shoulder both angelic and breathtaking. Angel on my shoulder is a breath of fresh air from the shitty EDM music of today. House music fans will appreciate this deep house styled song.

Back on You samples the soulful song I’ll Be Around in a deep house styled manner with fresh updated electronic production found inside house music. The song shimmers with 8-bit distortion in some parts of the song similar to Step one two. Overall Back on you partially relies on 8-bit distortion sound.

Step one two is a perfect dance song whether you are a fan of house music or not. Fans of dance music truly genuinely enjoy Step one two. The song shimmers with 8-bit distortion in some parts of the song. Step one two is another vibrant upbeat deep house song.

The song I Remember is a slightly calm song where things start to calm down despite its fast paced BPM. Its fast paced BPM make the song I Remember an upbeat dance music styled house song. Of course the deep house element is still present inside of this song. Upbeat dance music meets calm ambient electronic music on the song I Remember.

Borrowed Theme is where things start to calm down. Borrowed theme is a song that calms the whole mood down for the album despite its fast paced BPM.

The song I’ll Never Dream relies primarily on electronic synths that you will surely find in deep house styled music or house music in general. The song I’ll Never Dream is an upbeat dance music styled house song of course. I’ll Never Dream get sentimental by going down memory lane.

One Heart is where things start to pick up again. The song One Heart heavily relies on beats, electronic music, and dance music from its upbeat mood and vibrant sound. The song One Heart heavily relies on percussion overall. Kaskade never fails to impress with songs such as Move for Me, Back on You, Pose, Borrowed Theme, Step one two, and Angel on My Shoulder.

I rate this album 5/5*****!!

Dynasty is one of Kaskade’s more party oriented albums which despite having that party sound has some deep tracks such as Dynasty and Start Again. Now the album has your zany songs such as Fire in Your New Shoes and Human Reactor. The compulsory love songs are included on the album. Still Kaskade manages to keep things consistent with his production.

The title track is one of his deeper songs on the album. Now dynasty in this sense means the rule of sequence in both directions. In this case the dynasty means going forwards. Dynasty does not a sequence of rulers from the same family or group in this song, like the Ming dynasty, as some uninformed people would have you believe. Dynasty is a love song.

We can turn the page forward together. We will all see the dynasty. Yeah, we all have given up. We all have taken up. But tonight we will live it up. Because love has never gone. This is a dynasty. Now we celebrate knowing that love has and will set us straight.

Fire in Your New Shoes explores Kaskade’s weird and exquisite for certain types of clothing. His exquisite taste of clothing leaves much to the mind to be desired. His preferences in clothing are certainly questionable to many people by their standards. He seems to have developed a borderline abnormal fetish for certain types of clothing. Fire in Your New Shoes is one of his most materialistic songs. Fire in Your New Shoes is a Kaskade style of New York Fashion Week or Paris Fashion Week.

Martina Sobara sings all of the lyrics. He takes charge vocally of this song while Kaskade does his thing with production as always. Kaskade produces and arranges the instrumentation

Kaskade likes tight outfits with zippers that pinch. Leather in every color is clothing he desires. He’s going Rococo with sequins on leather in the summer. Kaskade is referring to 18th century French fashion called Rococo. His obsession with leather leaves the listeners yearning for more. He explained some of his tastes in clothing on Verse 1 which were zippers, leather, sequins, and 18th century French fashion.

The buttons are busted on his leather clothing. So he designed an ornament with gold and silver plating. These explain what Kaskade has done to this clothing.: “Buttons are busted, we’re decorated/We make an ornament with gold and silver plating/So what’s the latest, we raise a fever” He explained some of his other tastes in clothing on Verse 2 which were buttons and ornaments. For some reason ornaments are a huge deal to him.

Lyrics in the pre-chorus explain to us that showing off your clothing while being on the runway is the best. The cameras are flashing and the audience is applauding as they are excited. These lyrics will have your thinking of runway fashion shows.

[Pre-Chorus: Martina Sobara]
So come
Twirl your dresses around
Lift your cotton socks on
And turn your cameras on now for the fun

Start Again deals with the fears, anxiety, and uncertainty of starting over again at something in life. The song also deals with betrayal and rejection. Kaskade brings out the beauty of electronic music in this song with several layers of instrumentation. The song is totally uplifting.

There’s a start and end to every dream and fear. There’s a start and end to your tears, fears, hopes, and dreams. Sometimes we have feeling we don’t know how to handle because of betrayal and rejection. You start over again in life by holding onto your dreams and not looking back at the past. That is how you start again.

I rate this album 4/5****!
