Kx5 is a collaboration over a decade and a half in the making. Deadmau5 and Kaskade effectively changed the electronic music landscape when they paired together for 2008’s slow-burning “I Remember” and the influence of their follow-up “Move For Me” cemented their as the standard. Both tracks peaked at No.1 within a week of one another on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart. The GRAMMY-nominated artists' paths crossed again on 2016’s ominous “Beneath with Me” featuring Skylar Grey. In July 2021, Kaskade made history at the first public concert performed at Los Angeles' SoFI Stadium. The sold-out show featured a surprise set by deadmau5 and had the two artists reuniting again for a set to close the show. As Kx5, Deadmau5 and Kaskade are primed to write their own history. Now the pair officially join forces to form a unique collaborative union.

Their song “Escape” featuring Hayla was the first song to rekindle the collaboration which soon branched into songs such as “Take Me High”, “Sacrifice” with Sofi Tukker and “Avalanche” with James French. These songs would later be released on an album aptly named Kx5.
