Dance music mega-producer Kaskade and Brooklyn-based singer Enisa teamed up this summer at Canada’s largest electronic music festival, VELD, and now their collaborative song is out there.

In “Tears Don’t Fall,” Kaskade – one of the biggest headliners and most successful artists in electronic music of the last two decades – teams up with newcomer Enisa for a rousing and emotional dance-pop hit.

That’s not our word, that’s Kaskade’s. In a new Instagram clip, he speaks to Enisa in the backseat of a car about how the collaboration came about. Originally an unfinished session they recorded and put on hold, a mutual connection led Kaskade to listen to the song again and realize, “Damn, this thing is hot… this is a hit!”

The music video finds the two behind the decks at a packed club and festival (identified by some in the comments as Toronto’s VELD and Rebel) doing what they do best – letting the crowd play like an instrument. As the song slowly builds to its climax, it’s hard not to join in.

Kaskade is no stranger to Canada. He has been a top act at festivals across the country and has been a long-time collaborator with Canadian artist deadmau5. The two released an album together last year as the new duo Kx5.

Albanian-American singer Enisa is on the rise and is popular with many songwriters and producers. Last year, she landed on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for the first time, as a guest artist on “Fool 4 U” by Galantis and JVKE.
