Closer to ringin' in 2014, we are still reminiscing over a Kaskade filled 2013. Kaskade shared his 2013 journey in memories and @vitt0riana broke down her K dominated year, now we have Reuben throwing it down. @TheCrimsonHero 

I have to say 2013 was the landmark year for me. What a way to raise the bar! I've traveled to many cities and states because of one reason, Kaskade. I've made countless lifelong friends because of him and Kaskade Konnect and I am so thankful.

Redux and Atmosphere tours were breathtaking!! I can't choose a favorite memory since as Duong (@Astro_Raver) says, when Kaskade is involved there is always an adventure. Going to Miami and New York were special. Yes, you can do Miami in a day. It was far beyond what I could imagine and I had finally met some of the gang at our KK BBQ. I miss Miami dearly because I got to experience the first show and I was blown away!!! I'm still waiting on Be Still Avon or Don't Stop Jumangee as a #KMM........anyways, New York was amazing too. I had the best pizza of my life and now every other slice is plain and boring. I got to see some more of the gang there as well as meet a few new people. Giving up my ticket to Pacha I sort of regret but as I was taught by the person who I gave it to; there are no regrets in life, just lessons learned. I'm just happy to have given it to a deserving person! HQ/Revel was special as well because I've never been to Jersey. I love it and I don't know why it gets such a bad rap. Atlantic City is crazy and I cannot wait to go back. 

I think a favorite memory was of Kaskade playing on my home turf at Echostage. He threw me off because it wasn't his deep house or Atmosphere style. It was more towards what the kids wanted. I noticed after Last Chance Clockwork Remix and Turn It Down Animals that he started to delve into trap a bit. It's not really my thing but I do remember at both the Atmosphere shows he went to, he dropped both and the crowd went more wild than ever. The Turn It Down Animals Victor Niglio Remix puzzled Duong and I and we loved it. It's different to hear him experiment some more. I did ask others how they would feel if K started to do trap a little more. Feedback was iffy to say the least haha. 

It's coming to a close... 2013 was a huge year for the entire Kaskade Konnect family. Kaskade shared his 2013 journey in memories - a combo by him and his fans (cause, you know, he's AWESOME!). Now, we have some things we would like to share... 

Check out Miss @vitt0riana's year with Kaskade! 

It's so difficult to pin point my favorite Kaskade memory.

In September of 2011, I came back from studying abroad in Italy for a year, so I was pretty depressed when I got back home. All I spoke about was Florence and the only thing getting me through the days was going back. I was living with my best friend and her two friends at the time, so besides her, I didn't really know where I fit in because I was gone for a year and I practically lived with two other strangers.

Well, needless to say, one of those "strangers" introduced me to Kaskade and from that day forward, I was obsessed. She introduced me to a whole new world of edm and it all started with him and a few other key DJs, and now she's one of my best friends because of the love we share for the music. So basically, Kaskade WAS my therapy and he got me through.

I am not kidding when I say that the love I have for this genre of music has made me who I am today and the reason why I still live in America. I was determined to move back to Florence and to be honest, I was kind've having too much fun here by the end of the year to leave. Getting back on my feet in the US and having graduated in May of 2012, I unfortunately didn't have the funds to go see him on his FON tour in Brooklyn that June (which I shamefully admitted to him on twitter) so believe it or not, I actually didn't see Kaskade for the first time until May of 2013.

I never imagined that at the end of the year, my tally would already be up to 9. I just couldn't get enough, and I guess the thing that I cherish most from this year is that I found people that couldn't get enough of him with me. :) There is no one significant moment I have with Kaskade that surpasses the next because I always feel such a connection to his music when I see him...but I would've never imagined that I would meet people (on twitter out of all places) that would welcome me into their group and travel with me for the love of his music. Sam and Gigi have become apart of my everyday life because of Kaskade. Not only do we travel together to go to Kaskade shows, but we talk everyday, have created a music blog and we hang out on the weekends, just because! And even if I wanted to go to a Kaskade show alone, I now know that I will see a familiar face (or two, or three, or four). I'm never alone!

So my best Kaskade memory of 2013 was the fact that I created so many amazing memories with the people around me. I finally feel like I am apart of something that no one can break, whether it is the Kaskade community or the entire EDM community itself, it has truly changed my life and Kaskade is a huge reason for that.

I'll never forget experiencing Summer Lovin, seeing the most beautiful sunset while he played in Toronto, hearing the most perfect set while there was torrential downpour at Free Fest and don't even get me started on Atmosphere and that deep house at Pacha! It's been a beautiful year and I will truly miss it, but I seriously CANNOT WAIT for 2014. :D
