Kaskade keeps it groovin'.......2007-03-14

This is the ultimate in feel-good music, brought to us by none other than the amazing Kaskade. This CD will perk you up any time of the day, leaving groove vibes all around. It opens up with Tamra Keenan - Here I Am, a track with booming bass lines through out, and a great voice to back it up. One of my favorites on the CD is Kaskade - Everything. When he played here in Austin, he opened with this track, and it was sublime.

Do yourself a favor and buy this CD!!

House of Om: Kaskade.......2007-02-19

As a newbie to this genre of music, I was very pleased with this purchase - this is the ultimate in "feel good" music. The pounding beats and airy vocals that accompany certain tracks just puts & keeps a smile on my face!

My favorite tracks are: HERE I AM, ENDLESS WAY, DON'T GIVE IT UP, EVERYTHING, BACK IN MY LIFE & RIVER OF LOVE

Kaskade: House of OM.......2006-12-21

What are you waiting for? See Kaskade when he comes to your town. Buy his music you will never go wrong. Here I am, is impeccable! Tamra Keenan has a beautiful voice; you can almost feel her emotion spilling through that voice!

Great Album.......2006-06-12

I started seriously listening to lounge music earlier this year and I highly recommend this album. Very easy to listen to over and over again. I've been listening to it in the car as I drive around Berlin and it is just perfect.

Hot.......2006-05-24

This is a nice deep house production. If you like this, check out the first full length CD for producer Quentin Allen as Karu. There are other 12" releases on Silver Network, Dadhouse, Winding Road, Mimosa & Smooth Agent. This CD is a very consistant production with a good blend of jazz, hip-hop, techno, neo-soul, and deep house all together. The beats are very crisp and sound good in the car, the house or the club. Some songs tastefully use vocal snippets to add flavor. There is even a track featuring Warren Harris aka Hanna (Shadow Records, Silver Network, Flat & Round, Freerange). If you want good quality deep house, this CD is for you.

Kaskade.......2006-12-21

By far a superb San Fran House DJ. Hands down this guy can move a crowd. His music is melodic, soulfull and will make you sing your heart out in your car when listening to his music. By far my utlimate fav on this disc is Its you its me..very sweet and enchanting. You will find 98% of the time OM label will put out outstanding quality. If you haven't seen Kaskade live, head down next time he's in town, take your shoes off, put the drink down and dance because music is what it's about. Hi Five!

Not a bad find . . . .......2006-03-08

I picked up this album when a local music store was going out of buisness. I saw the OM label, and was confident that there was at least a few good songs on it. Sure enough there were. I really like "Seeing Julie" track, great beat, bass, and vocals.

Kaskade - further proof that West Coast House music is manna from heaven.......2005-12-12

The fact that Kaskade hails from OM records in San Francisco - the epicenter of West Coast House - should be all that anyone needs to know. However, since I see that you are reading the reviews, you might need more convincing. If this is the case, please let me assure you that Kaskade, and this album, is perfection personified for anyone looking for silky-smooth feel good house music.

This album is a sweet, sexy, mildly thumping ride from beginning to end. It is everything you would expect and hope for when turning to west coast house music. The female vocals (haven't checked to see if it is one vocalist or a couple different ones) are absolutely beautiful - soulful and slinky, yet subdued, never overpowering the the atmospheric music pulsating below.

Give this a listen - "Meditation to the Groove", "I Feel Like", "This Rhythm", "Seeing Julie", and "It's You, It's Me" are personal favorites - then pick it up. Check out other Kaskade albums on this site as well, they're all 5-star productions. I've found that iTunes also has all of his albums along with many, many impossible to find remixes of his singles.

PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC, WHITE BOY!!!!!.......2005-11-05

I by no means am prejudice, but this white boy can jam his @$$ off!!! Kaskade's "It's You, It's Me" is one of the best dance CDs that I've heard in a while. But it's not only dance, Kaskade also gives you heavy doses of R&B, funk and ambient grooves. His flavor can be likened to that of Miguel Migs, utilizing soulful vocals and live instrumentation that gives this release a warm, human quality. Nothing here sounds repetitive like most dance releases which makes it truly a highly recommended CD!!!

It is one of the best CDs I own.......2005-09-10

There is not one bad song on this CD...Kaskade's sound is a cross between Dance and Jazz...with fresh beats and jazzy bass lines. Kaskade moves away from using too much computer generated sound to using instruments. I am highly impressed with this album.

Album Description

From DJ/producer Kaskade comes a deep house masterpiece that transcends the genre. Smooth vocal gems and soulful compositions. "A captivating album of jams that are deep enough for late night dance floor action and melodic enough for next week's dinner for six. Quite lovely"--Billboard.

Customer Reviews:

Wow.......2006-08-28

The only thing i can say is this album is just plain good top to bottom.

A Lullaby for Clubbers.......2006-05-07

I absolutely love Kaskade (Ryan Raddon). He just never disappoints and this album is no exception. This is the perfect mix of uptempo, moderately throbbing house beats mixed with hazy, lazy gorgeous downtempo selections. In fact, that is pretty much how the entire CD breaks out, one uptempo for one downtempo track alternating throughout.

The album starts out strong with "Steppin Out", an amazing house track that should get even the most jaded clubber moving in time. Track 2 brings the energy down gently, with an intoxicating female vocal drifting, floating above a sensual soundscape below. "I Like the Way" kicks the beat back in with a hypnotic vocal performance by fellow OM artist Collette. The next track, "Honestly", takes a minute or so to really get going, but it's worth the wait for Amy Michelle's beautiful vocals, which are also featured on the equally impressive downtempo track "Strum". "Sweet Love" and "Everything" feature the vocals of Joslyn, who brings it to both of these slinky ass shakers.

If "Everything" is what happens when Ryan Raddon and Andy Caldwell get together, then they need to spend a lot more time together. Both of them are excellent on their own, but "Everything" renews my faith in the power of collaboration.

The rest of the songs on this album are just as fabulous. If you are even a casual fan of West Coast house, then this one is for you, along with any other Kaskade album. Pick this one up, throw it in the CD player, sit back and prepare for sweet release.

LIVIN' "IN THE MOMENT" WITH KASCADE!!!.......2006-03-08

DJ/Producer Kascade has become one of my faves over night, impressive moreso at times than Miguel Migs, Aquanote or Blue Six. His grooves are original, soulful and organic with just the right vocals to accentuate them--neither does Kascade give you the same "four to the floor" beat on every song. The man does know how to change it up a bit. The opening "Steppin' Out" reminds you of a Basement Jaxx track, but without a doubt it still has Kascade's signature all over it. But song highlights on "In the Moment" have to be the thumpin' "I Like the Way" and "Sweet Love," the sultry "Strum" and "Soundtrack to the Soul" and the 80s-influenced "One Love" and "Everything". Of course, every song on here is a stand out track. You'll just have to check this man out and see for yourself!

The It's Me and It's You is better.......2005-09-10

This is a good album. More jazz than dance if you ask me, but still good. A couple of songs have to grow on you. The first album (It's Me and It's You) is more for a party atmosphere and the second album (In the moment) is for a day you just want to lounge around and sip tea. That is not a bad thing...just a different mood.

Wasn't feeling it.......2005-06-25

I downloaded this album based on the Amazon's recommendation and the reviews. I wouldn't call this album straight-up wack, but it is kind of weak, especially if you're into soulfoul deep house. This guy has been compared to Miguel Migs, but the styles and sounds are totally different. In addition, it's an album not a mix.

classic.......2006-02-24

For those who love house music the is a must have. Om records is the best period.

Disappointing for the most part.......2005-03-10

As a fan of Kascade and Naked Music (which one of the reviewers suggested similarities with) I thought that this would be a pretty good cd. I even spent the time listening to many of the sample tracks. I sprung for it - unfortuantely. The problem is the heavy programmed disco beat that permeates most of the non Kascade tracks. Boring and everything starts sounding similar as it all wilts under a too heavy hand. This is far fron Meigs' Naked Music so be forwarned. There are far better and more interesting compliations out there.

Still smiling..........2003-10-14

Ryan Raddon has unleashed a true work of art with this one, and some of the finest work on the OM label is on display here.

Beginning with an excellent take on Naked Music NYC's "It's Love" through Soulstice's mesmerizing rework of "Fall Into You", this set will keep you smiling from top to bottom. If deep house is your thing, then this set belongs in your collection.

very pleased.......2003-01-21

this cd is a combo of beautiful vocals and groovy beats from some of OM's best. ...i must say it is well worth the money spent. it's great to listen to any time and any where, in the car or at home chillin, and is sure to impress your friends, ... there are quite a few songs with vocals, and a lot of the time that can ruin a cd. in this cd's case, the vocals are done right, and they serve as a pleasant addition to the mix. i highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys downtempo jazz-influenced music. 5 STARS BABY!!

Absolutely Exquisite!.......2002-03-28

Wow, what a Masterpiece!!!
This is one of the Best CD's that OM Records has ever released. I've been a fan of OM Records for quite a while now, but this CD has made me an even bigger fan. This CD is mixed by Kaskade, and I must say the mix is absolutely suberb to say the least. The standout tracks are "It's Love" by Naked Music NYC, "What Can I Say" by Kaskade and "Lovely" by Soulstice. However, the best track and my absolute favorite is the (now)Classic by Andy Caldwell "I Can't Wait". This entire CD is Good from begining to end and thats rare nowadays, because most CD's ONLY have a few good tracks thrown in the mix for good measure, but thats not the case with Sounds Of OM 3rd Edition. If your a True Lover of House then this is a must have your collection......

Customer Reviews:

I love it one and love it again.......2006-05-22

This is a great cd to listen to especially if your driving somewhere and dont want to worry about what's going on around you. I live in Los Angeles and this cd takes me away from the non-stop traffic-make sure you turn it up loud. Excellent choice. I bought this cd because I read another review and they were right. Have fun with this one!

Good Deep House. Let's Dance Baby !.......2005-07-08

This is a really good Deep House effort by Kaskade.

Excellent mixing combined with a great selection of tracks make this CD well worth it's price. It is soulful, jazzy, funky deep house. Smooth, but not chillout. Groovy, but not hardcore dance music. If you like Miguel Migs, Mark Farina, or anything from the Naked Music label, you will enjoy this CD.

I enjoyed more the first part of the CD. Therefore, the 4-star rating. However, there are a few excellent tracks on the second part as well, so it is not all downhill from there by any means. Not at all. Just a couple of weak spots that do not ruin the mix.

For lovers of deep house.......2004-07-20

Kaskade's entrance into the San Francisco Sessions series of mix albums hopefully signals a return of this excellent, but short-lived, series of featured DJ mixes. And if so, what a return it is.

Kaskade excels as both a producer and a DJ, which shows in this CD, which features many of his own songs, all of which are solid tracks. Add to this his ability to seamlessly blend each track into the next, and you have a very polished mix that will probably see heavy rotation in your CD player if you like the sound of Naked Music from a few years ago (Nude Tempo One, Nude Dimensions 1 & 2). The way Love & Music blends into It's You, It's Me is superb, and the dreamy melt of After The Party into Empty Streets is simply the perfect way to end this mix.

I enjoyed this CD the whole way through, with Gonna Get By feeling like the only track that overstayed its welcome, but not to the point of ruining the mix for me. More For The Living was the only song that seemed out of place, which struck me more than usual since it came near the end of the mix and had such a different sound from the songs that bookend it.

I like the choice of using the Jamie Lewis Dub of The Light instead of the version that's been used on countless other mixes. I enjoy the house diva sound, but not when it overpowers the music, and this version strikes a nice balance between the two.

I must say that the moment that really defines this mix is the final track, Empty Streets, which is one of the dreamiest songs I've heard in a long time, with luscious vocals and beautifully subtle production. Oftentimes, DJ mixes will end abruptly or sound like they ran out of ideas and just decided to let the last record play to its completion, but this track shows a definite competence in the proper way to end a mix. It leaves a lasting impression and prompts you to listen to the mix again. Indeed, a rare touch.

In the end, if you like the sound of Miguel Migs (Nude Tempo One & Nude Dimensions 1), Julius Papp, or Ben Watt (from Everything But The Girl & Lazy Dog/Buzzin' Fly), you're sure to enjoy this mix. While it doesn't do anything particularly new, the quality of the songs and the mixing itself speak for themselves. If this doesn't sound like you (i.e., you're looking for more of the tech-house sound of DJ Dan or the Mushroom Jazz sound of Mark Farina), you won't find it here. However, if you want to give this upbeat, soul-filled sound a whirl, this is a great place to start.

this cd is TIGHT.......2003-12-03

After buying Mark Farina's "CONNECT", a year and a half ago, I fell in love with Kaskade's "Brighter Day", and have bought every and any Kaskade/Ryan Raddon release since...and now since this cd has come out, I have been playing it non stop, and making everyone I know listen to it, too- cause it's that good!!!
I am pretty selective about my music, and what people consider "house",(being from Chicago), and this cd has got the soul, the funk, the beats that I love listening and grooving to.
Every track here on "Soundtrack to the Soul" is tight- but my favorites are 3 (Make My heart), 12(More for the Living), and Kaskade's own tracks with Josyln, (w/her sweet silky vocals) and Finn -5(In This Life) and 6(True). And then, right in the middle of this fab mix, the cd crescendos, with another great remix (More Vox Mix) of It's You, It's Me(track 10), and just blows me away, since I don't think I can EVER get enough of such a great song.Ryan Raddon is such a talent, I am so glad he's out there to make music good again. I will now buy anything he produces, mixes, writes,arranges, etc.
If you want something that will make you feel good, and make you move, GET THIS CD!!! BUY IT NOW!!!
