Cascada

Article summary

Cascada ( , Spanish, 'Waterfall') is a German Eurodance music act founded in 2004 by singer Natalie Horler and composers/record producers DJ Manian and DJ Yanou. They consisted in a trio until 2021, with their last track together being "One Last Dance". Since then, Natalie has fronted the group as a solo project, which was confirmed with the release in 2024 of Cascada's fifth studio album, Studio 24, produced by Christian Geller. They are best known for the hit singles "Everytime We Touch", "What Hurts the Most", "Evacuate the Dancefloor" and "Miracle". Cascada represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö, Sweden with "Glorious". While being one of the most successful bands of the Electronic dance music genre itself, Cascada was named as the third-most successful German act of the 21st century. In 2010 and again in 2014, Cascada's music was the second-most downloaded of all time in the dance category, after David Guetta.
