Cascada

When Natalie Horler was 17 in 1998, she was doing studio work for various DJs. She met Yanou and DJ Manian when they were 24 and 20, respectively. Originally, they released music under the name Cascade, but due to Kaskade, another artist with a similar name, threatening legal action, they changed it to Cascada.[{{BillboardURLbyName|artist=cascada|bio=true}} Cascada's Biography]. Billboard. Retrieved 28 February 2008. At the same time they also released music under the names of Siria, 3XM, Phalanx, Scarf!, Diamond and Akira, before ending these projects due to the success of Cascada. Under Andorfine Records, they produced their debut and hit single, "Miracle", and its follow-up, "Bad Boy", in Germany.[http://www.andorfine.com/andorfine-records.htm Andorfine Records Releases] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080308132943/http://www.andorfine.com/andorfine-records.htm |date=8 March 2008 }}.

When this did not attract much attention, Cascada offered them "Everytime We Touch".

Cascada experienced mainstream success in the United Kingdom and the United States almost a year after releasing their second American single, "Everytime We Touch", which interpolates the chorus of a 1992 Maggie Reilly song of the same name.[http://www.completealbumlyrics.com/lyric/46646/Maggie+Reilly+-+EVERYTIME+WE+TOUCH.html Maggie Rielly Everytime We Touch Lyrics] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927175051/http://www.completealbumlyrics.com/lyric/46646/Maggie+Reilly+-+EVERYTIME+WE+TOUCH.html |date=27 September 2011 }}.

On 29 June 2009, "Evacuate the Dancefloor" was released in the UK. The release, just four days after the death of Michael Jackson, was expected to chart below Jackson's old hits, which sold heavily after his death. Instead, it debuted at No. 1, above Jackson's "Man in the Mirror". The song went on to the top five in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland and New Zealand, as well as Top 10 in many more. The song was released in the US in late September and peaked at 25, remaining in the chart for 17 weeks and making it the group's second Top 40 hit.

The song has become a club staple, used in many dance-oriented video games, and even nominated for an MTV Video Music Award. The album, also named Evacuate the Dancefloor, was released a week later on 6 July in the UK and Germany. The album continued Cascada's progression into electro-pop, a change welcomed by mainstream audiences and fans, despite many fans missing the euro-pop feel they considered integral to the Cascada project. The album itself did not mirror the success of the single, yet it did chart in the Top 10 of many countries, including the UK where it went on to sell 100,000 copies. "Dangerous" and "Fever" were follow-up singles released from the album, the former in the UK, and the latter in the US, Australia and the rest of Europe, neither experiencing success in terms of radio play, digital or physical sales. Nevertheless, the group toured extensively to promote the album, even opening for Britney Spears during a stop in Germany.

A new single "Pyromania" was released in 2010, continuing Cascada's new electropop sound. During the Summer of 2010, elements of a song titled "Night Nurse" began to leak online. A music video featuring Horler in full body paint of various colours in many scenes was released in November 2010 to promote the upcoming album.

On the weekend of 26 March 2011, Cascada shot two music videos for the upcoming singles "San Francisco" and "Au Revoir". Both videos were directed by Lisa Mann and choreographed by Luther Brown, and both singles were featured on the album Original Me which was released on 20 June 2011 in the UK{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Me-Cascada/dp/B00518234C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411341471&sr=8-1&keywords=cascada+original+me|title=Original Me: Amazon.co.uk: Music|work=amazon.co.uk|access-date=30 August 2017|archive-date=26 April 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240426034802/https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Me-Cascada/dp/B00518234C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411341471&sr=8-1&keywords=cascada+original+me|url-status=live}} and 29 November 2011 in the US.

On 1 September 2011, US label Robbins Entertainment announced on their message board that Cascada and Robbins have amicably parted ways, and Cascada were released from the label, citing creative differences as the reason for their departure.

A year later, Cascada released their next single "Like the Way I Do", in August 2019. Horler stated it was one of her favourite tracks they have done. In March 2020, a ballad version of the track was released.

In October 2020, Cascada released a cover of "I'm Feeling It (In the Air)". The track was previously released in 2017 by Sunset Bros & Mark McCabe. It was released in the UK by Xploded Music. The track brought Cascada back to their clubland roots.

In May 2021, Horler announced through an interview that "One Last Dance", a collaboration with Canadian 1980s synth band Trans-X, would be released on 4 June 2021. On 5 November 2021, Cascada, along with Timmy Trumpet and Harris & Ford, released their single, "Never Let Me Go" on Spinnin Records.

Collaborations with international DJs continued, including "Never Let Me Go", in collaboration with Timmy Trumpet, released on November 5, 2021 and ranked 10th in the Top 100 international DJs in 2021 according to DJ Magazine, and Harris & Ford, and the remix of "Never Be Lonely" by Jax Jones and Zoe Wees, released on March 8, 2024, which reached the top 10 in the UK charts and performed at the Capital FM Summertime Ball.

Cascada celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2024. On 8 March, Jax Jones released a remix by Cascada of his latest single "Never be Lonely", Horler re-recording the track for the remix. Cascada announced that their highly anticipated fifth studio album, titled Studio 24, would be released on 10 October. The first single from the album, a cover of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", was released on 15 March.

This album aims to bring up to date the biggest hits of disco, such as the aforementioned cover of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", and a cover of "Call Me" by Blondie, released 21 June 2024. Music videos were released for both, both directed by Marcel Brell.

Notably, Studio 24 featured neither of the producers Yanou and Manian, with singer Natalie Horler citing her wish to temporarily devote herself to independent musical projects. However, after the release of Studio 24, Horler confirmed on Instagram that Manian and Yanou had departed from Cascada, saying that Cascada is now a solo project, though she was open to working with Manian again in the future.
