Cascada is a German dance music trio formed in 2004, consisting of vocalist Natalie Horler and producers DJ Manian and DJ Yanou. The group pioneered a distinctive blend of progressive house, trance, and pop-dance that defined mid-2000s club culture. Their energetic sound—characterized by uplifting melodies, driving beats, and Horler's soaring vocals—quickly established them as key figures in the progressive house movement.
The group achieved international success with anthemic releases like "Everytime We Touch" and "Wonderful," which became staples on dancefloors and radio worldwide. Operating primarily through the Positiva Records label, Cascada delivered multiple platinum-certified albums and collaborated with various electronic producers. Their production approach seamlessly merged trance elements with accessible pop sensibilities, helping bridge the gap between underground dance culture and mainstream audiences during the peak of progressive house's global popularity.
