CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ Releases New Heavy DnB Tune “Head Banger”

Don Diablo has never been afraid to pivot, but with CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ, he’s not just turning a corner—he’s breaking off the steering wheel. Debuting on iconic UK label UKF, his new single “Head Banger” featuring grime veteran Scrufizzer is a dark, genre-smashing detour into the depths of drum & bass and British underground culture.

The track opens like a glitched-out video game gone rogue: warped vocal stabs, jagged synths, and a pounding drop that doesn’t wait for permission to destroy everything in its path. Scrufizzer’s rapid-fire grime delivery slices through the chaos, grounding the track in UK swagger and giving it the kind of authenticity that’s hard to fake. It’s aggressive, unapologetic, and miles away from the polished future house that made Don Diablo a festival mainstay.

But that’s the point. This isn’t a costume—it’s a reset. Like the keyboard command that inspired the project’s name, CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ is about wiping the slate clean and starting fresh, creatively and sonically. And on “Head Banger,” Diablo makes it clear this new identity isn’t just a side project—it’s a mission.

Scrufizzer, long a respected voice in grime’s melting pot of styles, brings the kind of vocal dexterity and underground credibility that elevates this track from experiment to statement. His bars hit as hard as the basslines, and together, he and Diablo sound like they’ve found a new lane that neither of them had fully explored—until now.

The debut marks the start of a bigger play. With North American tour dates lined up and more music expected soon, Don Diablo’s latest incarnation isn’t just for the club kids. It’s for anyone craving something harder, weirder, and more alive.
