Enisa and Kaskade Team Up for New Song 'Tears Don't Fall' After Igniting Toronto's VELD Festival
We caught up with both artists backstage at that summer electronic music mega-fest to find out some surprising facts about each of them.
13h
Dance music mega-producer Kaskade and Brooklyn-based singer Enisa teamed up this summer at Canada's biggest electronic music festival, VELD, and now their collaborative song is out in the world.
"Tears Don't Fall" finds Kaskade — one of the biggest headliners and most successful artists in electronic music over the last two decades — joining up-and-comer Enisa for a swelling and emotional dance-pop hit.
That's not our word, but Kaskade's. In a new Instagram clip, he talks in the backseat of a car to Enisa about how the collaboration came together. Initially an unfinished session they recorded and left on the backburner, a mutual connection got Kaskade to revisit the song and realize "damn, this thing's hot...this is a hit!"

In the music video, you can see the two behind the decks at a packed club and festival setting (which some in the comments have identified as Toronto's VELD and Rebel) doing what they do best — playing the crowd like an instrument. As the song slowly builds into its climax, it's hard not to get into it.
Kaskade is no stranger to Canada. He's been top-billed at festivals throughout the country, and a longtime collaborator of Canadian artist deadmau5. Together, the two put out an album as the new duo Kx5 last year
The Albanian-American Enisa is on her way up, a favourite of many songwriters and producers. She charted for the first time last year on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart last year as a featured artist on Galantis and JVKE’s “Fool 4 U.”
Billboard Canada caught up with Kaskade at VELD to find out five things we didn't know about him. Backstage at that Toronto festival, he tells us that he's surprisingly fluent in Japanese, what he did when he couldn't perform during Covid, and some tidbits about his family life. Watch that interview below:
