KASKADE & deadmau5 NEW PROJECT Kx5 DEBUTS WITH NEW SINGLE “ESCAPE (FT HAYLA)”Kx5 TO APPEAR AT EDC LAS VEGAS IN MAYOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Falcon Publicity Today (March 11) deadmau5 and Kaskade officially join forces to form a unique collaborative union Kx5, marking their debut with the single “Escape” featuring rising British singer-songwriter Hayla. “Escape”--an aspirational love song–is released jointly under deadmau5 and Kaskade’s respective labels, mau5trap and Arkade. Listen here: https:// View a piece of the lyric video coming next week here: Beginning with stripped-back piano underscoring Hayla’s delicate vocal, “Escape” soon swells into a pulsating electronic soundscape—a testament to the meticulous, multi-layered production that deadmau5 and Kaskade have built their reputations on. The track really takes flight on the anthemic chorus. “What if I escape with you?” Hayla belts over shiny synths. “Is it real, is it just a fantasy? ‘Cause the unknown, the unknown is pulling me.” Kx5 is a collaboration over a decade and a half in the making. deadmau5 and Kaskade effectively changed the electronic music landscape when they paired together for 2008’s slow-burning “I Remember” and the influence of their follow up “Move For Me” cemented their influence as the standard. Both tracks peaked at No. 1 within a week of one another on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart. The GRAMMY-nominated artists’ paths crossed again on 2016’s ominous “Beneath with Me” featuring Skylar Grey. More recently, in July 2021, Kaskade made history as the first public concert performed at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium. The sold-out show featured a surprise set by deadmau5 and had the two artists reuniting again for a set to close the show. As Kx5, deadmau5 and Kaskade are primed to write their own history. Look for Kx5 to make its live performance debut at EDC Las Vegas this May. AboutAbout Kaskade: Less tangible but even more important has been his influence on dance music tastes and culture for generations of listeners. Often Kaskade is one of the artists who introduced now-veteran listeners to the genre, and such fans typically become evangelical fans for life. In 2019, he worked with multi-award winner Meghan Trainor on "With You," Cheat Codes “Be the One” and Gorgon City on "Go Slow," and official remixes for the likes of Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, and Gwen Stefani earlier. In 2020 Kaskade leaned into the mandatory time off from touring by releasing the most consecutive music, back-to-back of his career. Stay tuned for more moves from the original curve bender Kaskade. About deadmau5: About Hayla: Wilkinsons’ “I Need” graced the Radio1 playlist for over eight weeks early in 2019 which was closely followed by PBH & Jack’s “Waiting All My Life” which also became a staple across Radio1, Kiss FM and other dance radio shows. However, it was Hayla’s solo releases that followed and vocal production that have truly made her mark in electronic music. She released her own self penned first solo single “Naked” to critical acclaim, followed by “Colours.” Both releases gained full specialist Radio 1, Capital Dance and Kiss FM support and secured playlist covers and high positions across Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming platforms.
