Where to Start with Cascada
Start with Cascada a year before the world caught on, and hear the formula click into place from the first beat.
2005: Hear the template with Miracle
Start a year before the breakthrough. 'Miracle' hit UK #3 and already has every piece of the Cascada formula in place: the trance build, the pop chorus, Natalie Horler's voice riding on top. It tells you exactly what you're in for.
2006: The breakthrough with Everytime We Touch
This is the song that took Cascada global. UK #2, US #10. And it's still the fastest way to understand why they became one of the biggest German exports of the 2000s. If you only listen to one track, make it this one.
2007: The cover that showed range with What Hurts the Most
A cover turned into an anthem. UK #10, US #52. It shows Cascada working with someone else's song and still sounding entirely like themselves. Useful context before the bigger, brasher tracks.
2009: The peak with Evacuate the Dancefloor
Their only UK number one, and the clearest statement of everything the group does well, helped by Carlprit's verse. If Cascada only gets one chance to win you over, this is the song doing the work.
2024: Where they stand now with Studio 24
The trio's last release together was 'One Last Dance' in 2021. After that, Natalie Horler carried Cascada forward solo, and 2024's Studio 24, produced with Christian Geller, is the fifth studio album and the best sense of where the project stands now. Worth hearing once the singles above have you hooked.
