The single is special for me since it is the first time I sing on one of my tracks and with receiving a GRAMMY nomination for the first time ever on my last album, this album felt all that more precious to me because I really want to deliver in a big way. With so few dates on the tour, I’m looking forward to making each show massive and really count like never before.”The single, “Atmosphere,” debuted on Pete Tong’s well-known radio show and features Kaskade singing on a recorded track of his for the first time in his career. With harmonic and, at times, ethereal vocals, “Atmosphere” builds from a melodic tune to big beats and electric sounds that will quickly become a welcome earworm and summer favorite. The album, Atmosphere, is the follow up to Kaskade’s GRAMMY-nominated 2011 album Fire & Ice.Fresh off his It’s You, It’s Me Redux Tour that took the DJ back to his roots by visiting small clubs, including the legendary Smart Bar in Chicago, where Kaskade was a resident DJ before moving west.
