Prior to being a recording artist, he was a record store owner and a club DJ at a nightclub in Salt Lake City as a way to make ends meet for him and his wife. After he and his wife moved to San Francisco he landed a job as a A&R man at OM records, where in addition to reviewing demos for the label he also submitted his own material, which would pay off big time for him. In 2001 he went from behind the desk to behind the turntables and the recording studio as an artist in his own right. In 2003 Kaskade released his first album, "It's You It's Me", which was well received by critics.
It would be his follow up, "In The Moment" in 2004, that would put Kaskade on the map. The first single off the set "Steppin' Out" would become a major hit on the Dance Radio Airplay that year as well as a top 10 hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. His biggest breakthrough would come the week of May 14, 2005, when his follow up, "Everything," would go all the way to #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

Don't stop dancing, girl
Don't stop dancing, girl
Don't stop dancing, girl
World outside you
We'll let you in
To share the beauty
Just keep going
Everyday
The silver lining
Is on its way
'Cause what you long for
Is free
What you stand for
Is to be
Lift your feet up
Off the ground
Don't stop dancing, girl
Don't stop dancing, girl
Don't stop dancing, girl
Don't stop dancing, girl
Don't stop dancing, girl
Don't stop dancing, girl
Don't stop dancing, girl
Don't stop dancing, girl
'Til you reach it
You won't know
Just what's the distance
You'll need to go
But it's out there
Beyond today
The silver lining
Is on its way
'Cause what you long for
Is free
What you stand for
Is to be
Lift your feet up
Off the ground

I love this song. My daughter did a video with this music and ever since it has reminded me of her. Sadly she passed away Nov. 23, 2011 at 20 yrs old. I had this song played at her service. And I also had "Don't Stop Dancing" inscribed on her marker.

I first read this comment seven or eight years ago, while I was living on the other side of the planet from where I am now. I cried my eyes out, and I've never forgotten about it. I tracked your comment down tonight so that I could let you know you and your daughter found a place in my heart. Sending you a warm hug. Don't stop dancing.
