Don Diablo Launches New Record Label to Bridge House Music and Contemporary Art

Galantis and Don Diablo have joined forces for their first-ever collab, a scintillating electronic jam called “Tears For Later.” Released by way of Diablo’s HEXAGON imprint, the track is a bit of a departure for both Galantis and Diablo in terms of its composition.
