Diplo & Damian Lazarus – Don’t Be Afraid (feat. Jungle)
Opening with a hypnotic beat, “Don’t Be Afraid” is a mesmerizing tribal-infused deep-house track with atmospheric builds and warm sonic textures. Featuring soothing vocals that glide effortlessly, the release is a perfect melting pot of sounds that fuse Diplo’s ease with Damian Lazarus’s techno wit.
“We met Diplo in LA a few years back and got chatting about working together. We sent him a few ideas that we’d been cooking up and he took a melody and worked it in this banger. We’re really happy everyone else can enjoy it now too.”
