Don Diablo Celebrates 10 Years of HEXAGON with New Single “Freek Like Me” and Launch of HEXAGON 2.0
Global dance music visionary Don Diablo is marking a major milestone in his career with the release of his new single “Freek Like Me,” which not only delivers a high-energy house anthem but also celebrates the 10-year anniversary of HEXAGON, his acclaimed music label and creative platform.
Released earlier this spring via HEXAGON, “Freek Like Me” sets the tone for what Don Diablo is calling HEXAGON 2.0—a new phase in the label’s journey that shifts away from quantity and focuses on deeper quality, purpose, and artistic freedom. As Don puts it, it’s time for music that “connects with people—not just feeds the algorithms.”
A New Era: HEXAGON 2.0
“Freek Like Me” blends upbeat, piano-laced house rhythms with gritty spoken-word hooks and a nostalgic flair that nods to classic garage and old-school club vibes. The result is a sound Don Diablo describes as NeoNostalgia—a fusion of the past and the future that’s designed to resonate beyond the dance floor.
“’Freek Like Me’ marks the start of HEXAGON 2.0—a new chapter where every release is more intentional, more meaningful,” said Don Diablo. “From a musical perspective, I’m going back to the essence—combining the classic house sounds I grew up with and futuristic sound design.”
More than just a label, HEXAGON has become a movement and community, launching the careers of emerging talents while collaborating with global legends. Over the past decade, the imprint has released music from Major Lazer, Robbie Williams, MK, Jamiroquai, Galantis, Gucci Mane, and Felix Jaehn, among many others.
“We’ve built something powerful with HEXAGON. Ten years in, and I truly believe the best is yet to come,” Don added.
A Decade of Impact
Founded in 2015, HEXAGON quickly established itself as a tastemaker label in the electronic music scene. Don Diablo’s own career soared alongside its growth. He was named the most supported producer in the world in 2020 by 1001Tracklists—thanks in large part to HEXAGON’s consistent stream of innovative releases. His album FORΞVΞR has surpassed one billion streams, solidifying his role as one of the most influential names in dance music.
Don’s reach extends far beyond the DJ booth. Currently ranked #15 in the world by DJ MAG’s Top 100 DJs, the Dutch producer has collaborated with an all-star roster including Dua Lipa, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Madonna, The Chainsmokers, and Rihanna. His hybrid creative projects span fashion, fine art, and Web3 innovation—with sold-out digital art pieces on SuperRare, collaborations with Disney and Netflix, and immersive installations at Art Basel, Venice Biennale, and more.
The Music and the Mission
At its core, HEXAGON 2.0 is about reinvention—shedding the pressures of volume-based streaming and returning to community-focused artistry. Don Diablo is placing emphasis on meaningful releases, deeper fan connection, and a renewed focus on sonic exploration.
“My mission as an artist is to blur the line between the DJ and the crowd. I want to break the fourth wall and create a space where we’re all in it together,” he said.
“Freek Like Me” is the sound of that mission in motion—unapologetically bold, infectious, and celebratory.
