After diving deep into the underground with “Freek Like Me” in April to celebrate HEXAGON’s 10-year anniversary and new sonic direction, Don Diablo continues his club-driven evolution with “The Devil Works Hard,” a new dark collaboration with genre-melding Australian producer Tseba, marking Don’s debut on the iconic Sweat It Out label. Anchored by a cheeky, spoken-word vocal – “The devil works hard, but the DJ works harder” – the track unfolds into a rolling, bass-driven groove that channels the raw energy of late-night house parties and the stripped-down pulse of early UK garage.
It’s a sleek, minimal, and timeless production that nods to the roots of club culture while pushing forward with refined, modern flair. A secret weapon in Don’s sets for months, “The Devil Works Hard” follows Don’s collaboration with Nelly Furtado from May and captures the meeting point between two forward-thinking artists unafraid to let the beat speak for itself. 2025 is shaping up to be a huge year for the Dutch multi-platinum artist. Read on below for what the artists have to say about the new release:
“This year, my goal is to bring the energy back to the dance floor. Teaming up with Tseba for this one felt like the perfect match – ‘The Devil Works Hard’ is a solid blend of both our sonic identities and it’s been a secret weapon in my sets for a few months now. We aimed for this one to feel like a classic house anthem that is both timeless as well as forward-thinking from a production standpoint. Super hyped to finally share this one with the rest of the world.” – Don Diablo
“Don Diablo has been on my radar for a long time so it was incredible having an opportunity to write something together. Devil Works Hard feels like an engaging confluence of our two styles.” – Tseba
