Don Diablo is back with a bang under his darker alter-ego, CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ, dropping “The Formula.”
This high-energy track, featuring the Dutch duo T & Sugah and vocalist Kris Kiss, is set to tear up dance floors worldwide. Blending fast-paced drum & bass with razor-sharp synths and an explosive vibe, it’s already being hailed as a crowd destroyer. Whether you’re into DnB or just love a hard-hitting banger, this one’s sure to get you moving.
Since launching CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ with “Keep Pushin’ (Beast)” alongside P Money in late 2024, Don Diablo’s been steadily unleashing a grittier side of himself. “The Formula” pushes that further, slamming listeners with high-speed energy, monstrous bass, and razor-edged synths. It’s dirty, it’s fast, and it hits in all the right places. Add Kris Kiss’s raw and rapid-fire vocals to the mix-recorded in just 15 minutes, by the way-and you’ve got something that feels explosive from the first drop to the final beat.
Don himself called it the “ultimate secret weapon” he’s been using in his recent sets, and now the world finally gets a taste. It’s got that gritty underground flavor but still manages to carry the sharp production that Diablo always brings to the table. It’s chaotic in the best way possible-like if a cyberpunk rave met a high-speed chase through neon-lit tunnels.
For T & Sugah, this collab meant a lot. They’ve looked up to Don for years, even calling him one of the few big EDM names who embraced DnB before the genre’s recent explosion. Working with him wasn’t just exciting-it felt like a full-circle moment. The collab blends their signature DnB fire with Don’s futuristic touch, creating something that’s wild but still cohesive.
And Kris Kiss? He didn’t waste a second when Don hit him up for vocals. He laid the track down fast, explaining that the song taps into that high you get when everything finally clicks-the formula, literally. That sweet spot when you’re locked in and the whole world feels like a dance floor. His voice rides the production with this manic swagger that’s impossible to ignore. Whether he’s hyping the drop or sliding into a hook, he’s the glue that ties the madness together.
It’s also worth noting that this isn’t a one-off moment. CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ is clearly more than just a side project-it’s becoming a full-blown identity. From visuals to sonic direction, Don Diablo is fully leaning into this character, and “The Formula” feels like a major step in defining its sound. Fast, fierce, and completely unbothered by genre limits.
If you’re catching Don Diablo live anytime soon, chances are this track’s gonna be in heavy rotation. He’s got a packed schedule ahead, including dates at TIKIFEST 2025 in French Polynesia, Don’t Let Daddy Know in Chile, Duplex in Prague, and NAMELESS Festival in Italy. You already know “The Formula” is going to absolutely rip through those festival speakers.
