Dutch icon Don Diablo, continues his stream of releases as recently launched CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ D&B alter-ego, with ‘The Formula.’ He has teamed up with Dutch drum & bass duo T & Sugah and UK’s rapper-songwriter Kris Kiss, who earlier worked with the likes of Steve Aoki and Hardwell. Amazingly, Kris Kiss wrote the lyrics to this banger in only 15 minutes, showcasing his amazing talent. The track is a dark and gritty warehouse heater. Featuring multiple horns and saw synths, it’s an ode to the jump up D&B sound that has been rising in popularity thanks to artists like Sub Focus, Dimension, etc. Listen here.
Known for his innovative approach to electronic music, Don Diablo has been a formidable force in the dance music scene for over a decade. With hits like ‘On My Mind’ and ‘Cutting Shapes,’ he has consistently pushed the boundaries of the genre, earning him a spot in the top 10 of DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list for several years (currently #15). He has collaborated and remixed a wide range of artists including Dua Lipa, Justin Bieber, Gucci Mane, Ed Sheeran, Mark Ronson, Travis Barker, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Madonna, The Chainsmokers, Coldplay and many more.
Beyond music, Don has become a rising name in fine art. His hybrid physical-digital works have broken records on SuperRare, been auctioned by Sotheby’s, and exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Art Dubai, and Art Basel, often alongside pioneering artists like DRIFT. In 2023, his HΞXAVERSΞ installation transformed urban spaces in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and in 2024, his immersive piece ARCADΞ premiered at London’s Moco Museum. As the creative lead of HEXAGON fashion, Don has collaborated with Disney, Lucasfilm, and Netflix, releasing capsule collections that fuse pop culture with streetwear and design. His Star Wars x HEXAGON line debuted at De Bijenkorf, alongside guest designers like Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton, while his Stranger Things drop brought digital nostalgia to life.
