Don Diablo’s Alter Ego CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ Unleashes Grime and Drum & Bass Power with “Head Banger,” Featuring Scrufizzer – Debut on Iconic Label UKF and North American Tour Announcement
Don Diablo, currently ranked #15 on DJ MAG’s Top 100, is a pioneering force in the global electronic music scene. Known for his genre-blending hits like “On My Mind” and “Cutting Shapes,” the Dutch producer has collaborated with a wide range of major artists including Dua Lipa, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, and Rihanna. Beyond music, he’s a trailblazer in digital art and fashion—his NFT artworks have been featured at Sotheby’s and Art Basel, and his HEXAGON streetwear label has partnered with Disney, Lucasfilm, and Netflix. Through his globally syndicated Hexagon Radio and his influential label HEXAGON, he continues to champion emerging talent. His CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ project reflects a bold creative reset, exploring experimental sonic territory outside his traditional club roots.
“Dropping my first official release on UKF with my brother Scrufizzer, our second record together is a full circle moment! I have always loved the label and their unique sense of community. This one hits harder, faster, and deeper. Don Diablo pres. CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ is just getting started… and I couldn’t be more excited.” – Don Diablo
Don Diablo unleashes his fierce new alter ego CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ with “Head Banger,” a genre-smashing collaboration with grime veteran Scrufizzer, marking his explosive debut on the legendary UK bass platform UKF. The track is an all-out assault on the senses, opening with warped vocals and spiraling into glitchy, grime-soaked synths before detonating into a high-octane, bass-heavy drop built for underground dancefloors. Scrufizzer’s rapid-fire delivery injects pure grime energy, while Diablo twists the production into a chaotic blend of drum & bass, industrial glitch, and video-game-style madness.
More than just a single, “Head Banger” signals a bold new chapter in Don Diablo’s career. With CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ, he steps out of his future house comfort zone and deep into the UK’s underground, showcasing a darker, more aggressive sonic identity. It’s a fearless reinvention — and a clear message that this project is just getting started.
