In 2003 Kaskade released his first album, ‘It’s You It’s Me’, which received critical acclaim, but it was his next album, ‘In The Moment’ in 2004, that put Kaskade on the map.

The first single off the set ‘Steppin’ Out’ became a major hit on the Dance Radio Airplay that year as well as reaching #5 on the Top 10 hit on Billboard Magazine’s Hot Dance Club Play chart.
