Kaskade proves he's king of smooth with 'Strobelight Seduction'

San Francisco-based DJ and producer Kaskade puts forth some smart and savvy electronica on his fifth album, "Strobelight Seduction," a mix of dependable beats and hook-laden, soft-trance style.

The opening track "Move on Me" really sticks to your ribs. The collaboration with Deadmau5 is, at times, gorgeous and lush. What it lacks in low-end thump it makes up for with a pace that simply demands dancing.

Another top-notch track is "Pose," with its drawn out lyrics that pour over several bars while the bass line pumps hypnotically beneath. The lyrics are full of irony and substance.

"Pose for the camera, posing in my mind/ I see the picture, I feel the shadow left behind," goes the story love and longing on this track.

Kaskade is a remix specialist these days, having officially re-tinkered Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Seal in this year alone. "Strobelight Seduction" proves he doesn't need the extra star power to demand global dancefloor respect and a good long listen.

Check out this track: "One Heart" is a solid dance track worth playlisting on your iPod for a daily uplift. No production stunts and no corny orchestra stabs. Just a perfect bit of bliss.
