Don Diablo is back—but not as you know him. His alter ego, CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ, is making waves in the underground, and his latest release is ready to blow the doors off. Out May 16 via the iconic UKF, ‘Head Banger’ is the debut single under this mysterious alias and it’s a full-throttle collision of drum & bass and UK grime.
Bringing in grime powerhouse Scrufizzer—known for his rapid-fire flow and street-ready energy—this track pulls no punches. ‘Head Banger’ lives up to its name with relentless beats, gritty basslines, and Scrufizzer’s signature lyrical assault. It’s a hard-hitting statement that shows a bold, raw side of Don Diablo we haven’t heard before.
Though CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ only launched in November 2024, Don Diablo has been stockpiling unreleased drum & bass material, and this is just the start. Known globally for hits like ‘On My Mind’ and ‘Cutting Shapes’, as well as his current #15 ranking in DJ Mag’s Top 100, Diablo’s foray into the underground brings fresh energy to his already genre-defying career.
Beyond music, Diablo is a creative force across fine art, fashion, and NFTs. His groundbreaking projects like DΞSTINATION HΞXAGONIA, which sold for 600Ξ ($1.2 million) in just four minutes, and his HEXAGON fashion collaborations with Disney, Lucasfilm, and Netflix have kept him at the cutting edge of digital culture. And with immersive art installations like HΞXAVERSΞ and ARCADΞ, Diablo continues to redefine what it means to be a modern creator.
With ‘Head Banger’, CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ kicks off what promises to be a disruptive new chapter for one of electronic music’s most innovative minds.
