Don Diablo’s genre-defying alter ego CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ is back—and louder than ever. The latest release, “Head Banger,” featuring UK grime star Scrufizzer, is an electrifying collision of grime and drum & bass. It’s a bold debut for the project on the legendary UK platform UKF, and a sonic warning shot that Diablo’s underground chapter is fully underway.
Opening with distorted vocals and twisted synth stabs that feel straight out of a dystopian video game, “Head Banger” builds into a ferocious drop designed to set dancefloors ablaze. It’s fast, raw, and ruthlessly futuristic. Scrufizzer’s razor-sharp verses add unmistakable grime authenticity to the mix, as Don Diablo flexes his versatility in this creative reboot.
“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.”
With CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ, Don Diablo resets his sonic boundaries—just like the keyboard command it’s named after. From Dutch mainstage dominance to gritty UK underground, this is Don’s most experimental alias yet.
