International Artist Series: Meet Wukong
America’s newly anointed “#1 DJ” Kaskade takes out his shield and sword once again to stand up for his fans and electronic dance enthusiasts everywhere. After word that kandi bracelets would not be allowed at his Atmosphere tour show in Miami, Kaskade decided to rage on twitter, letting everyone know that he’s standing right beside them.
I mean that does not been make sense. Ummm hey kid you can’t wear bracelets in here cause they look cool?!?

So this manufactured + false image of us as a bunch of drugged-out zombies w/pacifiers + dead eyes scares them. What can I say?

Taking away glow sticks, stuffed animals, + candy (*Kandi) makes them feel more in control. That seems to be the crux of the thing.

Unfortunately, out of his control, Kaskade had nothing to do with the list, reinforcing the constant struggle of electronic music to get the respect it deserves.
Listen. This list of everything “not allowed” was never presented to me. It’s something that’s been generated within the last week.

It’s still US vs. THEM

Even though we’ve been percolating for 20+ years, + people think EDM is mainstream, not a lot has changed in the mind of The Machine.

Once again, he turns a shot against the community into a rallying cry for action, like a raver Mel Gibson in glitter paint and fuzzies.
We have power guys. We will change things for sure. We already are.

Regardless of the periphery, the core is the same. Music+You+Me We’re going to PLUR the shit out of that place tomorrow night.

The Kaskade train keeps rolling, speaking out for electronic dance as a whole all to the beat of his latest album Atmosphere. Never forget the power that this music holds.
