“With my new alias CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ I am exploring a more bass music-focused side of myself as a producer. I have been in the studio nonstop these last few years, and this creative switch-up has given me so many new insights and ideas. I have been making bass music most of my life, but at the start of 2025, the timing feels perfect to launch this new project. Maniac by Michael Sembello has always been one of my favorite songs growing up as a kid. It’s one of those timeless 80ies tracks that’s just pure adrenaline and emotion – it’s cinematic, intense, and unapologetically bold. The driving rhythm and iconic synth lines feel like they were destined to be reimagined in a drum & bass tune, where high-energy beats meet raw nostalgia. The perfect canvas to merge the past with the future.” – Don Diablo
CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ is a bold new bass music project by Don Diablo, channeling his innovative and boundary-pushing vision into a raw, futuristic sound. With the debut single “Maniac,” a reimagined version of Michael Sembello’s ’80s classic, Don combines nostalgic vibes with cutting-edge drum & bass production. The track, featuring UK grime icon P Money, marks the beginning of a fresh chapter for the artist, designed to ignite the underground and challenge the norms of electronic music.
As Don prepares for his highly anticipated 2025 album, CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ signals an exciting genre-expanding venture, with more drum & bass releases planned.
