OURTH ALBUM SINGLE SHOWCASES KASKADE’S SIGNATURE HOUSE-FORWARD SOUND WITH ETHEREAL VOCAL STORYTELLING
THE RELEASE BUILDS MAJOR MOMENTUM AFTER COACHELLA LIVE DEBUT
& SURPRISE TOMORROWLAND PERFORMANCE THIS PAST WEEKEND
Eight-time GRAMMY-nominated producer, DJ, and electronic music icon Kaskade joins forces with masked electronic artist GLOCKENBACH and rising vocalist Kaitlin Aragon for their new collaboration “Runaway,” across all digital streaming platforms.
The track marks the fourth single from Kaskade’s forthcoming ORIGIN // album and follows its surprise live debut during his landmark return to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival earlier this year.
Built around emotive buildups, expansive sound design, and soaring vocal moments, “Runaway” captures the intersection of cinematic house music and modern dance-pop storytelling. Kaskade’s signature melodic production elements blend seamlessly with GLOCKENBACH’s vibrant, genre-fluid approach, while Kaitlin Aragon’s powerful vocals bring an additional layer of emotion and intensity to the record.
The collaboration first emerged during Kaskade’s first solo Coachella performance in over a decade, where he unveiled his new ORIGIN // live concept and delivered one of the festival’s most talked-about electronic sets. Among a performance filled with career-defining records and unreleased material, Kaskade introduced “Runaway” to a massive crowd, joined onstage by featured vocalist Kaitlin Aragon for the song’s live debut. The Coachella performance offered fans a prime glimpse into another major collaboration within his evolving new era.
The momentum behind "Runaway" continued this past weekend at Tomorrowland, where Kaskade joined GLOCKENBACH onstage for a special live performance of the collaboration in front of a massive international crowd. Marking the first time the two producers performed the record together live, the surprise appearance further underscored the track's growing global anticipation while highlighting the cross-continental creative partnership at the heart of the release. Following its debut at Coachella and subsequent festival appearances, "Runaway" has steadily evolved into one of the standout moments of Kaskade's ORIGIN // rollout ahead of its official release.
Following the release of “Meet Again” with Natalie Jane and Layton Giordani - the official EDC Las Vegas 2026 anthem - “Comes Back Around” with BUNT., and “A Little Bit”, his first-ever bass heavy collaboration with Crankdat, “Runaway” further expands the creative scope of ORIGIN //.
Each release has highlighted a different dimension of Kaskade’s continued evolution, showcasing his ability to move fluidly between melodic, progressive, and bass-driven sounds while maintaining the emotional storytelling that has defined his career.
For GLOCKENBACH, the collaboration arrives during a major period of global momentum. Since launching the project in 2020, the masked producer has amassed nearly one billion streams, achieved multiple chart-topping singles, and collaborated with artists including Armin van Buuren, Illenium and Joel Corry. Known for his melodic, dancefloor-focused sound and boundary-free approach to electronic music, GLOCKENBACH continues to establish himself as a true artist to watch within the electronic music space.
For Kaitlin Aragon, “Runaway” marks another major step in her rise as a vocalist within the global dance music landscape. Known for her emotionally driven performances and cinematic vocal style, Kaitlin has quickly built momentum through collaborations with leading electronic artists while continuing to develop her own identity at the intersection of EDM and modern pop.
Arriving during a career-defining year for Kaskade, “Runaway” continues the rollout of ORIGIN // - a fresh creative chapter centered around artistic expansion, intentional collaborations, and immersive live storytelling. With upcoming performances at major festivals and continued headline dates throughout 2026, Kaskade’s latest era continues to bridge generations of electronic music while pushing his sound into new territory.
Kaskade, born Ryan Raddon, has solidified his place as one of the most influential figures in electronic music. An eight-time GRAMMY Award nominee, his accolades include a nomination as part of Kx5, his collaboration with fellow producer deadmau5.
In April 2026, Kaskade debuted his new live concept ORIGIN // Origin // at Coachella, delivering one of the festival’s most talked-about performances. The set marked a defining creative moment - featuring the debut of nine new songs, a rare move at that scale, alongside his most ambitious production yet. The performance also served as the live announcement of his forthcoming album, signaling a new chapter that bridges the emotional depth of his recent work with a forward-facing, large-scale vision.
In December 2025, Kaskade released undux, his most personal album to date, marking a return to introspective songwriting and emotional storytelling. The project re-centered his artistic identity and laid the groundwork for his current evolution.
Kaskade’s legacy continued its upward trajectory in 2023 when he and deadmau5 graced the cover of Billboard and headlined SXSW. Their groundbreaking show at the LA Memorial Coliseum in 2022 set a record for the largest single-day concert headlined by an electronic artist in North America, according to Pollstar, with Billboard also naming it the biggest ticketed global headliner dance event of that year.
In 2024, Kaskade expanded his presence across major global platforms. In February, he made history as the first-ever in-game DJ at the Super Bowl, performing in front of over 123.4 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. In March, he was named Best Male Artist of the Year at the iHeartRadio EDM Awards, while Kx5 took home Best New Group. In May, he became the first-ever starting grid DJ at a Formula 1 race in Miami.
His momentum in the sports and live event space continued throughout 2024 with performances at the X Games in Ventura, a post-Phillies game set in July, and a LIV Golf tournament. He also made surprise appearances at Coachella, joining John Summit and Alison Wonderland in 2024, and completed a 3-hour back-to-back set with Idris Elba in 2025.
Kaskade’s fanbase is nothing short of evangelical, driven by his ability to evolve while maintaining a deeply emotional core. Across decades of output, he has consistently redefined the boundaries of dance music, earning recognition as one of the genre’s original curve-benders.

The black mask GLOCKENBACH wears isn't for mystery reasons. It's a tool — not a gap for the listener to fill, but a filter that strips everything down to the music. Behind the project is a producer who writes and produces every track himself. Most of the writing happens in sessions with friends and longtime collaborators across London, Berlin, and Los Angeles. Glockenbach's sound: melodic dance music with a pop flavor — built for the dancefloor, but also works without any beats. The numbers since his 2020 debut: close to one billion streams, five Top-3 airplay singles, two number ones, and collaborations with *Armin van Buuren, Joel Corry, Ella Henderson, Imanbek, ClockClock, and Tom Walker.
“In the beginning I wore the mask so everyone focussed on the music only, not on me. Now it's more than that: it grounds me on stage, and honestly, it's fun. My only rule when I produce: if a track doesn't move me, it won't move anyone else. What I love about electronic music is the free spirit— there are no subgenre boxes i want to be put in, electronic music is electronic music. Daft Punk were the first to teach me what that means — and that's the standard I've been chasing ever since.” — GLOCKENBACH
GLOCKENBACH has played to hundreds of thousands: Tomorrowland, Mysteryland, Hurricane/Southside. In 2026 the schedule shows Parookaville, Beats For Love, Tante Mia Tanzt and many more. I hope to see you there! No two sets are built the same — the tracklist and story is rewritten every night.
Kaitlin Aragon is an emerging force in the EDM/pop world, known for her emotionally powerful vocals and cinematic sound. She first broke onto the global dance scene when she was chosen to be the voice behind HAVEN’s viral hit “I Run,” a controversial AI-driven track that very quickly became a fan favorite leading to millions in stream play. Since then, she’s continued building her name as a rising artist with a signature blend of raw emotion, melodic storytelling, and magnetic vocals.
With future collaborations alongside globally renowned DJs including Kaskade, Alesso, and Meduza, Kaitlin is quickly carving out her place within the international EDM/pop space. She has also performed at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, bringing her powerful stage presence and lifelong background in singing, dance, and cheer to audiences on one of music’s biggest stages.
Driven by passion, vulnerability, and high-energy performance, Kaitlin’s artistry lives at the intersection of dance music and modern pop — creating music that feels both deeply personal and made for massive crowds.
