“Kaskade’s signature sound is as unmistakable as it is beautiful; a combination of dewy female vocals, tough electronic underpinnings, and memorable melodies.” -- Billboard The New York Times may have called him the “new face of electronic dance music” in a recent profile, but Ryan Raddon, known as Kaskade, has been in the trenches of the EDM scene as an original recording artist and in-demand DJ for more than a decade. He has released seven studio albums, including his latest, Fire & Ice, scored nine Top 10 hits on Billboard’s Hot Dance Airplay Chart, created chart-topping remixes for everyone from Lady Gaga to Beyoncé, appeared at all the major summer festivals, and has performed between 150 and 200 headlining shows a year for the last 10 years, building a name for himself as an innovator of the EDM scene as we know it today, which has opened doors for the likes of Deadmau5, Tiesto, Skrillex and more. In doing so, he has helped to lay the groundwork for a titanic musical and cultural shift: a post-rock EDM revolution that has captured the imagination of a new generation of music lovers across North America Kaskade has been named America’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Times and Pioneer DJ. In 2012, he will appear at this year’s Coachella, for which he has a special performance planned, and will hit the road in May for his biggest headlining tour ever — 50-plus North American shows in just over three months. His own live show is a jaw-dropping spectacle that finds him performing in front of an 80-foot wide, three-stories tall LED screen that blares images synched with the music while strobe lights scan the crowd. Kaskade’s belief in the transformative power of dance music to uplift thousands of people at once has had a significant effect on the U.S. scene. His ground-breaking double residency in Las Vegas at the Encore Beach Club (which had not even been built when he signed on) and Marquee has elevated the city’s status as a premiere club-going destination on par with London, Berlin, and Ibiza, is another testament to his influence. Growing up in the Chicago suburbs, Raddon was heavily influenced by New Wave bands like The Cure, Echo and The Bunnymen, and The Smiths that ignited his love for melody and lyrics and was strongly impacted by the house music scene that developed in Chicago. Following stints spinning throughout college and in A&R at OM Records, he began working on his own music, which includes multiple singles, EPs, and remixes, as well as the albums: his most recent 2011 release Fire & Ice – which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Chart, No. 3 on the Independent Albums chart, and No. 17 on the Top 200 Albums chart, while the iTunes version debuted at No. 4 on the overall album chart. The Fire disc contains ten original songs geared firmly toward the dancefloor, while on the Ice disc, Kaskade delivers the perfect down-tempo post-club experience by remixing all ten songs. Both discs showcase the musical versatility tat has characterized his work ever since he began writing his own songs. This album was preceded by It’s You, It’s Me (2003), In the Moment (2004), The Calm (2006), Here & Now (2006), Love Mysterious (2006), Strobelite Seduction (2008), Dynasty (2010) and Dance.Love (2010).

DIY: CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA KITTY FLATS ( INSPIRED )

I just couldn't help it to share this to everyone especially meowwhh kittehh lovers. A blogger acquaintance and member of friendlyfashion.my did her Charlotte Olympia kitty flats inspired from her own black cat, Arthur. Going to buy some loafers and try this at home.  Hope you'll like this piece as much I enjoyed it! :)

Those Charlotte Olympia kitty flats have been on my inspiration folder for way too long. Drawing them down and window shopping with Arthur (he came purring at our doorstep on New Year's eve and he's here from now on!) are just not enough I urge myself to DIY a pair.

Materials:

-A pair of black loafers (I'm using Rubi's)

-Gold permanent marker (I'm using Unipaint)

-Black permanent marker (optional)

-Gold fabric paint (I'm using Plaid Fashion Peinture Relief in Gold Glitter)

-Fabric cutting scissors

-A pencil, penknife and a paper for rough sketching

Sketch out a life sized kitty heel. You can place a normal AA paper on your computer screen, magnify your kitty face reference to life size, and outline the kitty face. I'm not sure how other people say, but I call this the light box method.

Use a penknife to cut out the eyes, and the outlines of the ears. This is to make sure the features of your kitty face are all proportionate and appropriate.

Tape down your cutout kitty face on the vamp and outline the ears, nose and eyes with your pencil. Remove the paper and draw the whiskers, mouth and other details.

Outline with the gold permanent marker. Be very careful as this is a one way ticket!

Cut out the excess fabric to form the ears.

Use a black permanent marker to line the cut out area.

Last but not least, carefully fill in the gold areas with a moderate layer of 3d fabric paint. If it's your first time using the fabric paint, shake it well and try it on a paper beforehand. Air dry for a few hours and you're done! The glitter effect is not obvious here, but in real they're really sparkly!

Hope you'll find this purrrrfect!
