Don Diablo Unveils New Drum & Bass Alias: CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ

Renowned electronic music producer Don Diablo has announced the launch of his new drum & bass side project, CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ, marking a significant expansion of his creative repertoire. The debut single, “Maniac,” was released on January 24, 2025, under his HEXAGON label.

CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ represents Don Diablo’s venture into bass music, offering a raw and futuristic soundscape. The project debuted with a powerful track featuring UK grime icon P Money, signaling the start of a new chapter in high-tech music designed to energize the underground scene.

Reflecting on the new project, Don Diablo stated, “With my new alias CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ, I am exploring a more bass music-focused side of myself as a producer. Maniac by Michael Sembello has always been one of my favorite songs growing up as a kid. It’s one of those timeless ’80s tracks that’s just pure adrenaline and emotion. 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.”
