2013 KK Memories: @vitt0riana
It's coming to a close... 2013 was a huge year for the entire Kaskade Konnect family. Kaskade shared his 2013 journey in memories - a combo by him and his fans (cause, you know, he's AWESOME!). Now, we have some things we would like to share...
Check out Miss @vitt0riana's year with Kaskade!
It's so difficult to pin point my favorite Kaskade memory.
In September of 2011, I came back from studying abroad in Italy for a year, so I was pretty depressed when I got back home. All I spoke about was Florence and the only thing getting me through the days was going back. I was living with my best friend and her two friends at the time, so besides her, I didn't really know where I fit in because I was gone for a year and I practically lived with two other strangers.
Well, needless to say, one of those "strangers" introduced me to Kaskade and from that day forward, I was obsessed. She introduced me to a whole new world of edm and it all started with him and a few other key DJs, and now she's one of my best friends because of the love we share for the music. So basically, Kaskade WAS my therapy and he got me through.
I am not kidding when I say that the love I have for this genre of music has made me who I am today and the reason why I still live in America. I was determined to move back to Florence and to be honest, I was kind've having too much fun here by the end of the year to leave. Getting back on my feet in the US and having graduated in May of 2012, I unfortunately didn't have the funds to go see him on his FON tour in Brooklyn that June (which I shamefully admitted to him on twitter) so believe it or not, I actually didn't see Kaskade for the first time until May of 2013.
I never imagined that at the end of the year, my tally would already be up to 9. I just couldn't get enough, and I guess the thing that I cherish most from this year is that I found people that couldn't get enough of him with me. :) There is no one significant moment I have with Kaskade that surpasses the next because I always feel such a connection to his music when I see him...but I would've never imagined that I would meet people (on twitter out of all places) that would welcome me into their group and travel with me for the love of his music. Sam and Gigi have become apart of my everyday life because of Kaskade. Not only do we travel together to go to Kaskade shows, but we talk everyday, have created a music blog and we hang out on the weekends, just because! And even if I wanted to go to a Kaskade show alone, I now know that I will see a familiar face (or two, or three, or four). I'm never alone!
So my best Kaskade memory of 2013 was the fact that I created so many amazing memories with the people around me. I finally feel like I am apart of something that no one can break, whether it is the Kaskade community or the entire EDM community itself, it has truly changed my life and Kaskade is a huge reason for that.
I'll never forget experiencing Summer Lovin, seeing the most beautiful sunset while he played in Toronto, hearing the most perfect set while there was torrential downpour at Free Fest and don't even get me started on Atmosphere and that deep house at Pacha! It's been a beautiful year and I will truly miss it, but I seriously CANNOT WAIT for 2014. :D
