"Hmmmmmmm... Like anything else, everyone has different tastes in house music. Saying this however, this is definitely one of the nicer house cds out there. Many of the songs have a rather hypnotic melody, catchy beats, and soulful taste - I would say a unique distinction for Kaskade. This CD has a mellow and beautiful quality to it - just put it in your CD player, close your eyes and let your mind drift afar."
Refreshing, different & completely addictive!!

"Kaskade treats you with the very best of deep house, broken beats and chill. His sound is soulful and incredibly melodic! I couldn't wait until this album came out because he teased us with his other Om records releases! Some notable songs on the album are "It's You It's Me" (true San Fran sound!), "Call Me Wise," "This Rhythm," "What I Say," (Hot song!) & "I Feel Like."If you like artists like Miguel Migs, Mark Farina & Blue Six, then this is a must have album!!!! Every deep house fan will fall in love with this album!!"
Unexpected...

"I heard the slightly cheesy but really catchy single "It's You It's Me" on the radio and figured I'd buy. I was surprised with what I found. This isn't straight-ahead house. This is a unique and soulful exploration of jazz-house; it never strays too far from mainstream, but it never _is_ mainstream, either. In some ways, I'm reminded of Royksopp's Melody A.M.: the elements seem familiar, but the result feels fresh.Standout tracks include the title track and the stunningly beautiful and hard-to-pin-down This Rhythm... To be honest, I found something to like in each and every track: a rarity for me when listening to electronic CDs."

Unforgettable melodies and super sensual beats

"Sweet, soulful sounds. A surprise. A small package bearing a familar name. Contents: A sheet of paper. An unfamilar CD. "It's You, It's Me" is Kaskade's first release in his three album deal with Om Records, though deep house lovers have been grooving to his productions and mixes for many years. Organic and deep without loosing himself, for this album Kaskade worked with three vocalists who's range of R&B, soul and house influences are the perfect complement for Kaskade's layered soundscapes. While each track stands on its own as a small masterpiece, certain tracks have that extra unforgettable melody or super sensual beats, including the title track, the Soft Shuffle Mix of "What I Say" and the super smooth "Call Me Wise". This is music that has become my favorite springtime soundtrack, and is destined to be one of the best albums of the year."
