Leave it to Kaskade to challenge the rules of releasing music for free in the name of creativity. House producer Ryan Raddon continues his venture on freeing the music with a new Tumblr post where he addresses some concerns about his definition of \”free\” when it came to releasing the stems of his newest release \”Ain\’t Gotta Lie.\” His response undeniably straightens out any confusion: \”Free means free as a bird. Fly, little stems, be free. Go make beautiful music without me. Free is really free.\”
If you\’re a little confused about what this all means, there\’s quite a bit of back story that could be read about in some of our previous articles: \”Kaskade plans to launch his own music platform\” & Kaskade\’s Redux: \”Ain\’t Gotta Lie\” Release, Digital EP Announced, and Fan Remixes\”
So now that you\’ve done all that reading, you should know that fans of \”Ain\’t Gotta Lie\” did indeed take up the opportunity to create their own spin on the track, and there was one mix that stood out. Twitter user Ted Keyes picked up the song and did a mash up with Hard Rock Sofa\’s \”Get Down.\” Kaskade was impressed. So impressed that he stated the possibility of using it in his shows. He went in and did a little editing after reaching out to Hard Rock Sofa for the original instrumental.
This is the result:
There\’s beauty in things being free. And this is definitely one of them.
