‘CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ’ begins with “Amsterdam”, Don Diablo’s debut Monstercat single after a sold-out tour.
Don Diablo takes a bold step forward with the release of “Amsterdam”, his first single as CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ on Monstercat. Known for breaking boundaries, the multi-platinum Dutch DJ introduces a fresh creative angle following the success of his sold-out North American tour.
“Amsterdam” delivers a raw, energetic sound defined by cinematic textures, grime elements, and distorted vocal samples. This artistic detour emphasizes Don Diablo’s desire to explore new ground, while still honoring his electronic roots.
Commenting on the release, Don Diablo said, “I’ve always been a big fan of Monstercat, so releasing my first CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ record with them feels like the perfect match. This project has become one of the most exciting journeys for me creatively this year. This new track is called ‘Amsterdam,’ it’s high energy, emotional, and a heartfelt tribute to the city I grew up in and still deeply love. Honestly, this might be my favorite CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ record so far.”
In addition to the single, Don Diablo announced a special homecoming performance at Paradiso in Amsterdam, set for September 19. It marks his first show in the city since 2018, offering a more personal experience for local fans.
“Amsterdam” builds on Don Diablo’s momentum, following collaborations with artists like Nelly Furtado and his debut on Sweat It Out. He also continues celebrating a decade of HEXAGON, his influential imprint.
With a summer schedule packed with festival appearances at Sziget, Untold, and Medusa, along with dates in Ibiza and Barcelona, CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ signals a reimagining of his vision. It’s a deliberate reset—not a departure.
