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.
Fire in Your New Shoes
Kaskade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But if you want it any tighter, we could cinch it
Dress up leather, wear every colour
I'm going Rococo with sequins in the summer
So come
Twirl your dresses around
Lift your cotton socks on
While I light a fire in your new shoes
If you should smile, look so surprised
While I light a fire in your new shoes
Look out that your soles don't burn to the floor
I light the fire
I light the fire
Buttons are busted, we're decorated
We make an ornament with gold and silver plating
So what's the latest, we raise a fever
We're just all red inside, that's all to see here
Yeah, we're red inside, we're all red inside
And the leg bone's connected to the one in the thigh
We are red inside, we're all red inside
And the leg bone's connected to the one in the thigh
So come oh, oh, oh
Twirl your dresses around uh, uh, uh
Lift your cotton socks, sock, sock, sock, sock
Turn your cameras oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
While I light a fire in your new shoes
If you should smile, look so surprised
While I light a fire in your new shoes
Look out that your soles don't burn to the floor
While I light a fire in your new shoes
If you should smile, look so surprised
While I light a fire in your new shoes
Look out that your soles don't burn to the floor
While I light a fire
I light a fire

Nearly 5 years old and this never gets old. The uniqueness of Martina's voice really does it for me and Kaskade's production is simply phenomenal.
@woona88
Agreed!
@cmjcj2ktn
I didn't like this song for like 2-3 years after it's release, and then BAM one day it just hit me, now I love it. Sometime's Dragonette's collabs are hit or miss, but this one finally hit and hit hard.
