Editor's note

Kaskade, the Chicago DJ who shaped house music

From early albums like 'It's You, It's Me' to festival sets and recent tracks with Meghan Trainor.

If you want to get a sense of his range, try 'Be Still' from the top songs list and then maybe 'Mercy' from the more recent stuff. They're pretty different moods, but they both sound like him.

Kaskade's music has a way of sticking around, whether it's the early single 'Steppin' Out' from 2003 or a later cut like 'Call My Name' with Rae Morris. His songs have turned up on shows like 'Sex and the City,' and he's been a fixture at Coachella and Ultra. For a lot of people, his sound just feels like part of the furniture.

He started putting out music in the mid-1990s, with his first album arriving in 1995. By the 2000s, albums like 'In the Moment' and 'Strobelight Serenade' built his name, and he kept releasing records through the 2010s, including 'Automatic' in 2015.
