Drawing from a collaborative history spanning more than a decade – including fan-favorite releases like “Sweet Memories” (2016) and “Us” (2015) – Kaskade and CID return with a refined progressive house offering that blends melodic depth, emotional tension, and club-ready momentum. Anchored by Anabel Englund’s unmistakable vocal delivery, “Vision Blurred” highlights the trio’s shared instinct for timeless dance records.

Landing on Experts Only, the track represents a natural alignment between seasoned innovators and one of dance music’s most influential modern imprints.

The release follows Kaskade’s critically acclaimed studio album undux, released on December 4, 2025, and marks the eight-time GRAMMY nominee’s first major release of 2026.

ARTIST QUOTES

“CID and I have been crossing paths creatively for more than a decade now, and every time we come back together it feels familiar in the best way. I’ve been trying to work with Anabel Englund for approximately forever, but just couldn’t find the right song. Then Vision Blurred came along and it all finally came together.

This is a song that’s made to be played loud and I dare anyone NOT to sing along. Over the past few months, fans have been coming up to me after shows, humming the song and asking for the ID. It’s been amazing to see this type of familiarity with Vision Blurred even before it’s out, it’s already in the atmosphere. Now all we have to do now is release it.” – Kaskade

”Really excited to make my debut on Experts Only. Getting John’s stamp of approval on this one means a lot. With Kaskade, it feels like a full-circle moment working together on a new track after so many years. And the same goes for Anabel. Getting back in the studio with her and writing this felt effortless. I feel like we each brought our signature sounds and strengths to the table, and together we created something truly special.” – CID

About Kaskade: Kaskade, born Ryan Raddon, has solidified his place as one of the most influential figures in electronic music. An eight-time GRAMMY Award nominee, his accolades include a nomination as part of Kx5, a collaboration with fellow producer deadmau5.

In February 2024, Kaskade made history as the first-ever In-Game DJ at the Super Bowl, captivating over 123.4 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. Later that year, in March, he was named Best Male Artist of the Year at the iHeartRadio EDM Awards, while Kx5 took home the award for Best New Group. Continuing his trailblazing journey, in May 2024, Kaskade became the first-ever starting grid DJ at a Formula 1 race in Miami.

Kaskade’s dominance in the sports entertainment arena continued in 2024 with performances at major events, including the X Games in Ventura, CA, a post-Phillies game set in July, and a LIV Golf tournament performance. He also made surprise appearances at Coachella, joining forces with John Summit and Alison Wonderland in 2024, and completing a 3-hour back-to-back set with Idris Elba in 2025.

In October 2024, Kaskade played an unforgettable set in New York City’s Central Park, adding yet another milestone to his remarkable career. His legacy continued a steep growth trajectory in 2023 when Kaskade and deadmau5 graced the cover of Billboard and headlined SXSW. Their groundbreaking show at the LA Memorial Coliseum in 2022 set a record for the largest single-day concert headlined by an electronic artist in North America, according to Pollstar. Billboard also named it the biggest ticketed global headliner dance event of that year.

Kaskade’s fanbase is nothing short of evangelical, thanks to his ability to transcend genres.

About CID: GRAMMY-winning producer, DJ, and Night Service Only label boss CID has cemented his status as one of the most respected and consistent names in dance music. Lauded by peers like Solomun, John Summit, Dom Dolla, Fisher, Chris Lake, Jamie Jones, Diplo, and MK, CID is widely regarded as one of the best producers in the game, delivering club-ready tracks that dominate both streaming platforms and festival main stages. A two-time GRAMMY nominee and one-time winner, CID is among the highest-selling artists on Beatport and has amassed over one billion Spotify streams across his catalog.

In 2025, he added to his momentum with the release of “Fancy $hit” (featuring Taylr Renee) on Fisher’s Catch & Release imprint. The high-energy tech house weapon quickly climbed the Beatport charts, broke into editorial playlists across DSPs, and became a staple in DJ sets from Ibiza to Los Angeles, receiving massive support from the likes of Solomun, John Summit, Dom Dolla, and more.

CID’s journey began in New York, where he was inspired by watching DJs spin at his dad’s Spanish restaurant. By age 11, he was already mixing, and a few years later a chance meeting landed him an internship at a professional studio. His first session assisting on an Ashanti recording ran until 6 a.m.; he slept on the couch and was back in the room by 9 a.m. That relentless work ethic, paired with an ear for standout records, has defined his rise.

He cut his teeth remixing alongside Greg Bahary (Hott 22) before catching the attention of Cedric Gervais, whose GRAMMY-winning remix of Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” CID co-produced. From there, he fully focused on his own artist project, touring with A-list acts, playing the world’s biggest festivals—including Coachella, EDC, Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza, and Electric Zoo—and performing at iconic venues like Brooklyn Mirage, Academy LA, Hï Ibiza, and The Roundhouse in London.

With chart-topping releases on labels such as Insomniac, Repopulate Mars, Catch & Release, and his own Night Service Only, plus a second GRAMMY nomination for his remix of LSD’s “Audio,” CID has built one of the most credible and in-demand brands in house music. His signature sound—driven, infectious, and relentlessly dancefloor-tested—continues to evolve while staying rooted in what made him one of the scene’s most trusted names. As 2025 unfolds, CID shows no signs of slowing down.

With a string of successful singles, she made waves leading into the release of her debut album Messing With Magic in 2020.

In the years that followed, Englund racked up an impressive 12 #1 US Dance Airplay singles in just a few years, graced major festival stages like Glastonbury, Coachella, and EDC, and became the first woman to win iHeartMusic’s prestigious “Dance Artist of the Year” award in 2023 — a milestone that also marked her fourth consecutive nomination in the category for 2024.

Englund has continually pushed the boundaries of her sound, embracing a dynamic, eclectic approach to dance music while further developing her identity as a multi-faceted songwriter.

Collaborating with music heavyweights like Lee Foss, MK, Disco Lines, Benny Benassi, Tchami, and Kaleena Zanders, Englund’s growth as an artist is evident, as each new release builds upon the last in exciting and innovative ways. Her latest Born to Fly EP showcases the range of her songwriting abilities.

About Experts Only: Experts Only is more than a record label—it’s a global movement born from John Summit’s pursuit of total creative freedom. Founded on the ethos of music without limits, Experts Only refuses to be boxed in, embracing a bold, genre-defying sound that spans house, techno, melodic, and everything in between. Since its inception, the label has become a platform for fearless artistry, showcasing standout releases from cutting-edge talents like Mau P, Max Styler, Odd Mob, Layton Giordani, Cassian, Disco Lines, and Summit himself.

But Experts Only goes far beyond the studio. It’s reshaping the idea of a live dance-music experience, hosting unforgettable events in unlikely settings—from cave raves tucked in the Tennessee hills to snowy mountain takeovers in Vail, Colorado and Tahoe, Nevada, all the way to the lush jungles of Tulum. John Summit and Experts Only also launched the inaugural Experts Only Festival in New York City, which became the largest dance music festival in NYC history, drawing over 50,000 fans across two days. The brand has scaled internationally to places like Ibiza and Amsterdam, where few American DJs have made such an impact, and has made its mark on major festivals like Bonnaroo with its own curated stage. Experts Only was named Label of the Year at the 2025 Powertools Awards on SiriusXM.

At its core, Experts Only is building a tightly connected global community—artists and fans united by a love of dance music that challenges the norm and hits deeper. Every release, every event, and every experience is a testament to the label’s mission: to push boundaries, set trends, and create a world where true creative expression reigns
