Future house DJ and pioneer, Don Diablo releases a new single in collaboration with UK singer Emeli Sandé and American rapper Gucci Mane, Survive.
The track is now out on Universal/HEXAGON imprint.
Starting with melodies and the husky voice of Emeli, the track immediately displays the deep signature bass lines. The hip-hop star who has worked with Drake, Mariah Carey and Selena Gomez, adds a really new vibe to the Don Diablo production. The music gets soft yet vibrant in the interlude, with the vocals taking over before it leads you into a dynamic and bright spree of groovy beats. The singer, Emeli, who is a two-time Ivor Novello award winner, was also featured on Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto tour; she has done great justice to this production.
“I’m so happy to be collaborating with the very talented Don Diablo,” says Emeli. “I love his unique creativity and his deep passion for music. It was a real pleasure to write and lay down the vocal on this powerful track. I really hope this song will empower people to find pride and confidence in their own story of survival.”
Sitting firm at number 11 on the DJ Mag Top 100 list, the producer who is also called the founding father of the future house movement has constantly mesmerized one and all with his creative productions. He has earned praise from an array of global tastemakers for major hits such as ‘On My Mind’, ‘Cutting Shapes’, and ‘Take Her Place’ featuring A R I Z O N A, as well as previously remixing the likes of Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Bastille, Madonna, Birdy, The Chainsmokers, Coldplay, DJ Snake, Martin Garrix, Justin Bieber and many more.
The second album from Don Diablo, FUTURE was released at the start of this year and he has since then, played at major festivals like EDC Las Vegas, Creamfields, and Tomorrowland. With appearances at Ushuaia and Hï Ibiza, and an Amsterdam show FUTURE XL, his 2018 is looking strong.
“It’s just one of those records that needed to be absolutely perfect, from start to finish,” said Don. “I wanted to it to stand out and combine three worlds into one. A Dutch music producer, an incredible British singer-songwriter, and one of the biggest US rappers of today. I am more than proud of the final outcome and hope the music and the message of the song will motivate people to dream big and see beyond the clouds of their personal challenges.”
