Kaskade, otherwise known as Ryan Raddon, has released the music video for his latest single, "A Little More," featuring a pair of Scandinavians -- producer / DJ John Dahlbäck and Finnish singer Sansa. The video finds a lone vacationer who believes he is on his way to his beloved Hawaii (as evidenced by the touristy "I Love Hawaii" shirt) ends up somewhere very, very far away from the warm and easy-going Hawaii islands. Instead his flight takes him to a cold place where people do not respond to his many "Alohas" and his attire of Hawaiian shirts and shorts leave him grossly under equipped for the weather.
The gorgeous scenery is the backdrop for a man who is trying to make it work by attempting to swim in the frigid Icelandic water and sunbathe in high winds and cold temperatures. It is a pretty eccentric direction for his music video, instead of being like many videos in the genre that are just generic live footage. It manages to tell a story, albeit an odd one.
"A Little More" was the first release from Kaskade on his new label, Arkade, that he created as an extention of his love for music. He splintered from his former label, Ultra Records, after his 2013 album, Atmosphere. He has since used it as a platform to launch new artists. His first signee was the deep house act, Fairchild, whose identity remains a largely mystery (ZHU?). Their track, "I Just Want You," showed the renewed vigor that Kaskade has demonstrated towards the genre where his music got its start.
Keep an eye out for more releases, as it does not appear as though Kaskade is looking to wind down before the New Year that will bring him to New York City for a big room Redux show on Dec. 30.
