Kaskade linked up with Swanky Tunes after the success of their “Eyes” remix, and the collaboration between the American superstar and Russian threesome resulted in “No One Knows Who We Are.” With the captivating appeal from Kaskade and the electro velocity from Swanky Tunes, the track has been nothing short of massive since its December release. Tim Mason, however, envisioned something even greater. Providing crisp chords and big room progression, his rendition of “No One Knows Who We Are” offers the Mason trademark while leaving much to be enjoyed for long-time Kaskade fans.

Tim Mason is the latest in a line of producers to remix the very large “No One Knows Who We Are” from Kaskade and Swanky Tunes. In what is probably the most traditionally big room remix of the bunch (Rune RK went more melodic on his edit), Tim Mason packs a Size Records-worthy punch for this premiere. Heading down to Miami soon? You can catch this live when Tim hits up No Sugar Added on Saturday March 23rd.

Dubbed the Bounce Music Festival, crowds of over 15,000 are expected at the Pic a Chic Farm located a few miles off the university campus.
