The votes are in. DJ Times Magazine and Pioneer DJ have just announced that Ryan Raddon, aka Kaskade, has won this year’s America’s Best DJ 2013. Fans were able to vote online at the America’s Best DJ website and in person at events held by Pioneer DJ & DJ Times. What a week it has been for Kaskade. With the release of his newest album, “Atmosphere” on September 10, 2013 and winning the award for America’s Best DJ 2013 just a couple days later, it can’t get any better for this house legend. To add on to his success, Kaskade is the first DJ/Producer to ever win the America’s Best DJ award more than once.
“Words can’t do justice to how completely grateful I am to receive this honor for a second time. I am constantly in awe of the love, encouragement and energy I receive from my fanbase, which has continued to inspire and motivate me throughout my career. I feel conneted to them in such a real way and their support is something that keeps rocking my world. I couldn’t do this without them.”
