Tiësto & KSHMR feat. Vassy – Secrets [March 16 – Musical Freedom Records]

by JP Hadley · February 24, 2015

This brand-new track from Tiësto and KSHMR is just about as big as they get. The collision between the Dutch titan and the mysterious solo artist comes as the first collaboration of the year for Tiësto, and is also the highest profile collaboration that KSHMR has scored thus far. Tiësto is still riding the success from the release of his fifth album, “A Town Called Paradise,” while KSHMR is fresh off dropping “Dead Man’s Hand”. These big-room titans did not fool around whatsoever with this collaboration, done together with vocalist Vassy as well. It’s no secret that this tune will drop via Musical Freedom Records on March 16.

The breakdown begins with a mysterious vibe, featuring a minimal instrumental and heavily effected vocals. The effects are then lifted, and the background sounds spring into their full form. As Vassy finishes nailing the chorus, the melody powers its way out of the background and into the focus in full-on rave synths. A chopped up version of the melody and pieces of the vocals comprise the buildup alongside the traditional looping percussion. After one last repetition of the chorus, a melodic but hard drop takes over, showcasing both Tiësto and KSHMR‘s taste for that main room sound.
