Cascada is known primarily by the lead singer of the group, Natalie Horler, who is of English/German descent. For the past few years they have had several hits throughout Europe and even North America including Everytime We Touch and What Hurts The Most. I have always not been a fan and of the impression that there is some much better music coming out of Europe that should be taking the limelight that has been given to Cascada.
With this feeling, I had a first listen of Evacuate The Dancefloor which was Cascada's first single released from the new album of the same name. Once hearing it and noting the obvious similarities to the Lady Gaga sound that was taking over the world I was not at all impressed.
Enter Cahill with probably their best remix of 2009. Evacuate The Dancefloor has been transformed into a true masterpiece. My first listen had me wonder what exactly I was listening to that was so good only to find out it was none other than Cascada. The third of three Cahill remixes making up my top 20 of 2009 - it adds that extra level to the otherwise mediocre single into an unforgettable track. Hands down, Cahill has been the remixing team of 2009 and we look forward to some more incredible work to be done on many european artists in 2010!
Now back to Cascada, who has managed to garner a lot of success with this single. Evacuate The Dancefloor debuted on the UK charts at #1 in July and has also made it to #1 in the Netherlands and on the US Billboard Dance Chart. Along with solid top 10 chart positions across Europe (and even Canada and Australia), Cascada still continues to please fans all over the world with her music. Here's to hoping that some more of our favourite european artists can follow in her footsteps!
