Don Diablo introduces the boldest chapter of his career yet through his alter ego CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ, launching the explosive single “Head Banger” in collaboration with UK grime force Scrufizzer. This genre-defying release marks his official debut on the iconic UKF platform and signals a high-voltage evolution into grime and drum & bass territory.
“Head Banger” lives up to its name from the opening bar, twisting warped vocal loops into distorted synth stabs and glitched-out melodies. The track crashes into a ferocious drop, primed to tear through underground dancefloors with its unfiltered energy. It’s not just a side project—it’s a creative reset.
“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
