TRACK APPEARED ON POPULAR APPLE TV SHOW “SHRINKING” PROPELLING THE 2022 SINGLE BACK ON THE CHARTS
When Kaskade (Ryan Raddon) and deadmau5 (Joel Zimmerman) first partnered on their 2008 smash “I Remember,” the pair were leading names in the rapidly expanding electronic music scene that enraptured a generation of music lovers across America. 15 years later, the duo formalized their occasional collaborations and long-running friendship into Kx5 and released their GRAMMY(r)-nominated self-titled, independently released album Kx5 (mau5trap/Arkade/AWAL). Today, November 20, Kx5’s 2022 debut single “Escape” featuring UK artist HAYLA returned to mainstream interest, appearing at #1 on Shazam’s U.S. dance chart and #47 on U.S. Top 200. The placements were propelled by the song appearing in the latest episode (S2 E6) of popular Apple TV show “Shrinking.” View here: https://
“It’s so exciting to see new fans tracking down the song from ‘Shrinking,” shares HAYLA. “It’s such a timeless track and really made for an ideal scene closer between Christa Miller and Matt Knudson’s characters, rolling into the credits so viewers could get a strong gauge of the music.”
Kx5 was dubbed by Music Radar, “…a stunning collection of electronic music that harks back to the late-00s progressive house while intertwining contemporary, intricate sound design and emotive vocal performances.” Breakout single “Escape” featuring HAYLA carried on the tradition of sleek melodic house music first heard on “I Remember” (and its follow-up “Move For Me”), crowned as one of the “50 Best Dance Songs of 2022” by Billboard. Other notable accolades for “Escape”–which also received significant Top 40 radio play–included top songs of the year from key players in the genre including Dancing Astronaut, SiriusXM, C89.5, Evolution, EDM Tunes and DJ Mag. The song also won the “Electronic Chill Track of the Year” from the BBC’s Radio 1 Dance Awards and was nominated for an iHeart Radio Music Award for “Dance Song Of The Year.”
To date, “Escape” has garnered over 128 million streams collectively across all platforms and still continues to remain a staple for many of the top EDM artists in their major festival and club sets via its original version and remixes by such heavy hitters of the genre including John Summit, Subtronics, LP Giobbi, Tall Order, Spencer Brown and LoKii. In addition, “Escape” was featured during Kaskade’s in-game DJ set this past Super Bowl LVIII.

About Kx5:
When Kaskade and deadmau5 first partnered on their 2008 smash “I Remember,”—heralded by Rolling Stone as one of the top 100 dance music tracks of all time–the pair were leading names in the rapidly expanding electronic music scene that enraptured a generation of music lovers across America. 15 years later, the duo has formalized their occasional collaborations and long-running friendship into an official project, Kx5, with a self-titled album that carries on the genre-defining spirit of their early work with the additional excellence that comes from a decade and a half of studio and onstage experience for each. Those “different things” are evident in the evolving sound of Kx5 since the project was announced in March 2022 with the release of “Escape.” The debut single carried on the tradition of sleek melodic house music first heard on “I Remember” (and its follow-up “Move For Me”), securing significant Top 40 radio play and eventually becoming the #1 dance track of the year in 2022. However it was just the starting point for months of sonic exploration that resulted in tougher-sounding songs like “Alive” featuring The Moth & The Flame (TMTF), “Avalanche,” “Take Me High,” “When I Talk” with Elderbrook, and “Sacrifice” with SOFI TUKKER.
Kx5 has already established their ability to draw crowds as large as the biggest stars on the charts today. The duo’s first performance at Electric Daisy Carnival in May 2022 packed out the Circuit Grounds stage beyond capacity, while the pair’s December 2022 headlining gig at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum smashed records (the show broke records landing it as the largest single-day concert event headlined by an electronic music artist ever in North America per Pollstar with Billboard confirming Kx5 at the Coliseum as the biggest ticketed global headliner dance event of 2022), proving their popularity.
