Kaskade will be playing a sold-out show at Los Angeles
Convention Center, which accommodates more than 20,000 people,
on May 7.
"This is why live music has become such a big deal. The shows
are so important because you can tell 27,000 people are coming
to see me this weekend. It's working, they're listening so I
think that's why it's so gratifying to come back here to Los
Angeles and do such a big show," he said.
While EDM has risen in popularity in the past five years and
catapulted the careers of DJs such as Calvin Harris, David
Guetta, Tiesto and Zedd, Kaskade said the genre still faced some
obstacles in pop music.
"Radio still has a hard time with dance music and that's really
the crossover medium," he said. "That's how people still digest
music even with all these streaming services and downloading
services out there, people still listen to radio.”
