Emotional Depth Meets Melodic Precision in Kaskade and Lipless’ “State Of Mind”: Listen

Kaskade and Lipless have reunited for a stunning progressive house track, "State Of Mind," out now via Colorize.

The producers' creative history traces back over a decade to an unlikely origin story: a teenage Lipless cold-messaging Kaskade on MySpace with demo submissions. The Chicago-born dance music icon replied, and a working relationship quietly took shape.

By 2014, Kaskade helped Lipless relocate to Los Angeles, where the two went on to release a Grammy-nominated remix of RY X’s "Only" followed by a string of high-profile collaborations, including several contributions to the producer's Kx5 project alongside deadmau5. Now, nearly 10 years after their first major release together, "State Of Mind" serves as a reflection of their shared growth, both artistically and personally.

Anchored by shimmering synths, Poppy Baskcomb's vocals lead "State of Mind" into a gentle swell as soft arpeggios flutter through the mix. The production from Kaskade and Lipless beautifullu unfolds like a story rather than a formula, lingering and letting the emotion breathe.

Rooted in personal growth, it's the kind of track that's suitable for a late-night drive or the warm light of a sunrise set. For Lipless, it arrived at a crucial juncture.

"I was coming out of a tough year and working to get to a better place mentally and physically," he said. "When I heard the vocal demo, it felt like it was meant to find me."
