It often just happens without any warning or notice. There's no time for preparation. However, if
you embrace it with an open heart and mind, everything can change for the better.
Ever since 2004, production powerhouse and platinum-selling eclectic pop unit The Cataracs had
been a duo—Niles and David. However, in the summer of 2012, after the release of the sizzling
hot Gordo Taqueria [Indie-Pop/Republic Records] and its fiery lead single "All You" featuring
Kaskade and Waka Flocka Flame, David decided to follow a lifelong dream and travel the world,
effectively leaving The Cataracs a one-man unit. Niles dusted himself off and kept forging ahead
though.
"It left me really vulnerable and anxious for a minute," he admits. "It also gave me the
opportunity to come into my own as a solo act and even realize the initial vision that I had for
The Cataracs. I like creating intelligent dance music that makes people move. That's what I've
wanted to do since the beginning. Campa and I weren't always on the same page about that.
Now, I have an even clearer understanding of what The Cataracs is, and I'm making the best
music I've ever made."
That's a bold claim, but it's true. From day one, Niles had served as the group's producer and
produced other artists under the moniker "The Cataracs". He was behind the immortal beat for
Far East Movement's "Like a G6" featuring Dev. The track became a worldwide phenomenon,
surpassing digital sales of 3 million and topping the Billboard Hot 100. It also kick-started the
careers of Far East Movement and Dev and created unanimous demand for production from
Niles.
From there, he worked the board for Dev's platinum smash "In the Dark" as well her entire major
label debut, The Night the Sun Came Up, Snoop Dogg's saucy "Wet", and other tracks from the
likes of Enrique Iglesias, Usher, 50 Cent, New Boyz, and more. He's also been sought out by
everyone from E-40 to David Guetta.
At the same time, honing his two-prong vision for The Cataracs, he's pushing the boundaries of
pop. On his solo material, he cooks up an infectious concoction of sexy dance music with lo-fi
hip hop swagger and undeniable pop bliss. In November and December, Niles will be releasing
a free track every week leading up to the debut of a yet to be titled free EP.
The next chapter of The Cataracs has kicked off with a bang, and it's only just begun.
"I've got confidence like I've never had before," enthuses Niles. "I want fans to walk away from
my music with something they're not getting anywhere else. I want to break the fucking boring
static coming out of the radio. I want to give people addictive, catchy songs. That's what I love to
do."

Wont you take me for a ride
Tell me where you want to go
Tell me where you want to go
Yo, its that dancefloor 808
She hit me like a 808
Have you all night, vodka straight
Me and you, on a trip
All night flight, girl lets dip
Lickin' my lips I'm in the zone
And I cant really say what I'm sippin' on
But you taste good to me
Girls like you make history
Sure does sound like a hit to me
Now che-e-e-ck out this beat
Now, you got it
You got it goin' on, goin' on and on and on and on and on
Boy you know you get me high
Won't you take me for a ride
Tell me where you want to go
Tell me where you want to go
I'm your Bonnie, you’re my Clyde
I’ll be your “ride or die”
Tell me where you want to go
Tell me where you want to go

T-t-t-to the top of the worlddd
Your daddy must have been a drug dealer (why?)
'Cause you dope
You the Bonnie to my Clyde, Juliet and Romeo
Your daddy must have been a drug dealer (why?)

The lyrics to The Cataracs' song Top of the World tell a story of a wild and adventurous night out with someone special. The singer is taken by their companion and wants to go wherever they want to go. They mention the 808 beats that make their bodies move on the dancefloor, and the vodka straight they're sipping on. The lyrics are tongue-in-cheek in part, with a line questioning if the girl's dad was a drug dealer because she's so "dope." The song speaks to the euphoria and thrill of living in the moment and feeling invincible with someone who makes you feel alive.
The song Top of the World is both a celebration of the moment and an ode to the possibility of lasting love. The line "I'm your Bonnie, you’re my Clyde" suggests a sense of partnership and loyalty. The song asks the question of where the couple wants to go, and the repetition of the line "T-t-t-to the top of the worlddd" punctuates the idea that together they are unstoppable.
