“A Never Ending Dream” is actually a cover of a German eurodance hit by X-Perience from 1996 – one of the biggest anthems of late-90s eurodance. Cascada, known for their high-energy dance covers, picked up this track during the success wave of their debut album “Everytime We Touch.”

It became a popular and frequently played club and radio track, especially in Germany, the UK and Central Europe.

Produced by Manian and Yanou, the powerhouse duo behind all of Cascada’s biggest hits. Their signature “hands up” style is like dance music on energy drinks: fast tempo, pounding beats, and synths so catchy even your grandma might start shuffling.

Cascada’s version is faster, punchier, and tailored for the dancefloor. The X-Perience original is more ethereal, with Claudia Uhle’s dreamy vocals. In short: Cascada’s take is like the original after three espressos.

CASCADA (from Spanish “waterfall”) is a German dance project founded by producers Manian (Manuel Reuter) and Yanou (Yann Peifer) with vocalist Natalie Horler.

They rose to global fame with the smash hit “Everytime We Touch” (which nomine to World Music Award in 2007), “What Hurts the Most” (which took the charts by storm in 2008) and “Evacuate The Dancefloor” (this single topped the charts in the UK, Germany and other countries).

The group's first three albums sold over 20 million copies worldwide.

Cascada is synonymous with energetic, melodic dance-pop featuring powerful female vocals. Their sound helped define the club scene of the 2000s. They’re often compared to acts like Groove Coverage or DJ Sammy, but Cascada’s international success set them apart.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS:
Multi-platinum certifications for “Everytime We Touch”
Hits: “Miracle,” “Evacuate the Dancefloor,” “What Hurts the Most”
