STREAM “DNCR” & “IMPRINT” HERE
These dual singles introduce listeners to undux, a body of work rooted in reflection, connection, and rebirth. The album represents a new chapter of creative rediscovery for Kaskade, blending the emotional warmth of his early catalog with the introspective depth of an artist fully in command of his narrative.
“DNCR” captures the moment of emotional surrender — when rhythm, energy, and presence align. Its euphoric vocal hook and cinematic progression mirror the unity that dance music evokes at its best. Meanwhile, “Imprint”, featuring haunting vocals from Courtney Storm, slows the pulse to explore memory, loss, and the people who leave lasting marks on our lives.
Together, the two singles set the tone for undux — an album that finds Kaskade merging melody and meaning with unprecedented honesty, reaffirming his place as one of dance music’s most enduring and evolving storytellers.
QUOTES FROM KASKADE
On “DNCR”
“This song taps into the power of surrender – the way connection can pull you out of your own head and into the present moment. ‘You make me a dancer’ isn’t just about movement; it’s about being moved by another person’s energy. Dancing is an exercise in vulnerability and trust. It’s about rediscovering joy in the middle of struggle – being reminded that sometimes, the answer is just to let go and move.”
On “Imprint”
“These lyrics come from a place of trying to make sense of a story that doesn’t unfold the way you imagined it would. It’s about memory, perspective, and the marks people leave on our lives – sometimes permanent, sometimes like ink that fades. I’ve gone through a stretch where I’ve had to sit with a lot of change, confusion, and reflection, and this song helped me process that without having to fully define it. ‘Imprint’ is about the unfinished stories and the way we’re still asking to be understood even when the narrative feels hard to follow. It’s both vulnerable and hopeful – it’s me saying, I’m still here, and I’m still being written.“
