EDM mastermind Kaskade recently teamed up with production trio Swanky Tunes and singer Lights for a new track, "No One Knows Who We Are," which will appear on the DJ-producer's new album set for release sometime this year on Ultra. Now you can take an exclusive first look at the triumphant banger's gorgeous animated clip, which tells the story of a girl stuck in a dead-end town who suddenly finds herself facing off against a giant robot made of ticky-tacky houses. But with the power of song and the help of some superhero DJs, the robo-house/metaphor-for-suburban-drudgery is defeated as the track reaches its bombastic conclusion.

"I always am going for a different vibe with each song and I feel like I hit this one on the nose, which is why each collaboration is always so special and unique," Kaskade tells Rolling Stone. "These guys brought something to the table that I couldn't have achieved on my own and they just help the track move in a way I wouldn't have imagined. The comic-style animation in this video really helps bring an added visual element that helps lifts the beats and Lights' vocals, giving the song even more of an electric charge."

Animated Osbournes Series in the Works

A Toronto animation studio is shopping a new series, The F'n Osbournes, based on the life of Ozzy Osbourne and his family. Cuppa Coffee Studios, who previously produced MTV's Celebrity Death Match and Comedy Central's Ugly Americans, is hoping to sell 20 episodes of the stop-motion series at the Cannes International Television Market in April.

Photos: Random Notes
The F'n Osbournes would be produced by Sharon and Jack Osbourne along with Cuppa Coffee founder and show creator Adam Shaheen. The family, of course, were previously the stars of MTV's reality show The Osbournes from 2002 until 2005, so in a way, this animated series could be seen as a reboot of that franchise.
