Natalie Horler
Natalie Horler was born on September 23, 1981. As the front line singer, she is often presented as Cascada, as opposed to the entire band. When she was 16, she worked for a number of various DJs. She provided vocals for dance act 2 Vibez with their song "Sometimes", which was released on October 8, 2004. Eventually, she met Yann Peifer and Manuel Reuter. Horler was born in Bonn, Germany. Horler's parents are English; therefore, she speaks fluent English without a noticeable German accent.
Manuel Reuter, known professionally as DJ Manian, is a German producer, trance DJ, label owner of Zooland Records. He works alongside fellow DJ Yanou to produce the music and create the sounds. DJ Manian has produced a number of singles under various pseudonyms, and maintains a number of different musical projects, including Tune Up! (with Yanou, now defunct), Spencer & Hill (with producer Manuel Schleis), Bulldozzer, M.Y.C., Ampire, Liz Kay. Manian's songs often feature on the infamous Clubland compilation CDs. He is well known for his track "Welcome To The Club". Manian stated on his twitter that he is working on his upcoming album and single "Ravers Fantasy" in the UK[citation needed].
Yann Peifer, known professionally as Yanou, is a German producer. He collaborated with DJ Sammy on the chart-breaking hit "Heaven" with vocalist Do. He produces music for Cascada alongside DJ Manian and Horler. He is known for his 'Candlelight Mix" of 'What Hurts The Most' 'Everytime We Touch' and 'Draw The Line'. The arrangements consist of orchestral instruments; piano, strings, woodwinds and light percussion. It gives the original dance songs a completely different colour of laid back ballads. The tempo of the arrangements are slower, and Natalie Horler's vocals are sung in a more relaxing and emotional tone.
Cascada experienced mainstream success in the United Kingdom and the United States almost a year after releasing their second American single, "Everytime We Touch", which interpolates the chorus of a 1992 Maggie Reilly song of the same name. In total, eight singles were released from the album. "Everytime We Touch" rose to the number one spot when it was released, in various countries, including the US Dance Chart. It remained at number one in Ireland for several weeks. "Everytime We Touch" became the best selling dance song of 2006. Despite receiving a number of negative reviews, the follow up single "Truly Madly Deeply" also fared well in the charts. The third release was "Miracle", which became another number one hit for the group in some areas of Europe and received mainstream chart success in the United Kingdom.
Cascada became the 4th best selling group of 2007, and were only beaten by global successes Leona Lewis, Amy Winehouse and KT Tunstall.
Cascada's new single "Pyromania" premiered on UK Sky television channel Clubland TV and YouTube on 17 February 2010.[6] The song is not available on their Evacuate the Dancefloor album, so it is not known whether a new album, or a special edition album is being produced.
In the autumn of 2006, Horler made her first foray into television as the guest host of the viewer request show Back @ Ya on bpm:tv, a Toronto-based cable channel that broadcasts all across Canada and some parts of the United States. bpm:tv specializes in playing dance and electronica music videos. That same year, she appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly to promote Everytime We Touch.
Horler has also presented 'The Clubland Top 50' on the UK music channel 4Music, as well as the 'MTV Dance Top 50'. She has performed on various television shows, mainly in Europe. Among them is UK breakfast show GMTV: in December 2007, she performed "Last Christmas" live there to promote the UK version of Perfect Day; on July 28, 2008, she performed "Because the Night" live; and on July 3, 2009, she performed "Evacuate the Dancefloor" to promote its namesake album. On 18 September 2009 she appeared on the UK EuroMillions lottery performing "Dangerous".
