Mondays seem made for podcasts and sets. I mean, it can’t be bangers all the time, right? Sometimes you just need the kind of extended, hour-plus mix that lets you vibe out while the randomness of life unfolds before your eyes. Admittedly, for those of us with musical ADD it can be hard to sit without touching your iPod for while someone else controls your playlist. But there’s a yin to that yang: when you cede control for a bit, sometimes you find hidden gems that you wouldn’t have discovered on your own. And isn’t that what we’re all about here?
Insert Kaskade. Already, Coachella 2012 is fading into a slideshow of distant recollections: Hasselhoff’s wardrobe choices, the amazing-looking girls and the appearance of Tupac’s ghost. But there’s one performance that won’t be forgotten. I’ve heard countless sources attest that Kaskade’s set was one for the ages. Like it or not, this man is becoming North America’s answer to David Guetta — and this set stands as the proof. If you couldn’t make it to Indio yourself, you’ll want to give this a listen. Tell your grandchildren where you were when you heard this.
Close your eyes and imagine being in the valley. Happy Monday.
