Eight-time GRAMMY-nominated producer, DJ, and electronic music pioneer Kaskade releases his new album, ORIGIN // today, marking the culmination of one of the most ambitious and creatively expansive periods of his three-decade career.
Across the album, Kaskade moves between Melodic House, Progressive electronic music, and Bass-driven production alongside an intentionally varied cast of established and rising artists. Rather than looking backward, ORIGIN // captures an artist still discovering new creative tension, new collaborators, and new ways to expand the emotional and physical possibilities of dance music.
ORIGIN //
The album includes previously released singles ‘Meet Again’ with Layton Giordani and Natalie Jane, ‘Comes Back Around’ with BUNT., ‘A Little Bit’ with Crankdat, ‘Runaway’ with GLOCKENBACH and Kaitlin Aragon, and most recently ‘Hear Me Now’ with Wooli and MAXINE.
Each release has introduced a distinct dimension of the project. ‘Meet Again,’ the official anthem of EDC Las Vegas 2026, paired Kaskade’s melodic depth with Layton Giordani’s peak-time intensity and Natalie Jane’s commanding vocal presence before reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Airplay chart. ‘A Little Bit’ marked Kaskade’s first full-scale dubstep collaboration, combining his cinematic songwriting instincts with Crankdat’s explosive bass production.
Reinvention and Coachella Return
Together, the singles reflect the wider philosophy behind ORIGIN //—an album built not around one specific sound, but around curiosity, contrast, and the belief that artistic longevity depends on remaining open to unfamiliar ideas. First revealed during Kaskade’s landmark return to Coachella earlier this year, ORIGIN // is a forward-facing project rooted in reinvention, collaboration, and a continued refusal to be confined by genre or legacy.
The album’s vision first came to life at Coachella 2026, where Kaskade made his first solo appearance at the festival in more than a decade, closing the Sahara Stage while unveiling his fully reimagined ORIGIN // live experience. That concept has since expanded into the ORIGIN // Tour, Kaskade’s first full-scale conceptual headline run in nearly a decade, bringing the acclaimed production to New York, Santa Monica, Miami, and Austin.
Grounded in history but driven by discovery, ORIGIN // is an album shaped by underground culture, emerging voices, and the belief that evolution remains possible at every stage of an artist’s career.
