  Kaskade Atmosphere Album Review Ultra Records Released September 10, 2013 Genre: House, Progressive House, Electro House, Deep House, EDM   Atmosphere is the newest and seventh album from arguably the best DJ/Producer to come out of the United States.  With the EDM scene dominated by wild bass drops and mammoth synth chords, I’m honestly refreshed by this album.  Kaskade sticks to his guns and his origins with...
