Tiësto's collaboration with super producer, KSHMR (born Niles Hollowell-Dhar) and vocalist Vassy "Secrets" is a mammoth track on its own. When you add Diplo into the equation, you get a whole different type of monster. The original is a main stage thumper that has been steadily featured in his sets since its release in March via the Dutchman's imprint, Musical Freedom. Diplo comes in and totally flips the script on the song, fitting it for a Major Lazer set with thumping bass and a half-time trap rhythm, while also chopping and distorting Vassy's vocal and the melody.

"I love what Diplo did with his remix," Tiësto tells Rolling Stone. "The original is high energy from start to finish so Diplo stripped it down and added a real island feel to the song which is great for the summer."
"Secrets" was originally released in March right before Ultra Music Festival, where KSHMR joined Tiësto on stage. It was then included in the Dutch DJ's Big Apple-themed compilation Club Life Volume 4: New York City, but Diplo's version was not included. The compilation featured the likes of Martin Garrix, Firebeatz, DallasK and many more.
There is no word on when or how this will be released to the public. Tiësto has not unveiled any other remixes for the track, which, if there are any, could be rolling out soon.
This is not the first Diplo & Tiësto have worked together on music. Though this opportunity involves Diplo working on his own, the pair have collaborated in the past. They made the stadium-sized track, "C'Mon," back in 2010, which received an official rework from Busta Rhymes, who added his own speedy lyrics to the EDM track.
