Don Diablo / Resident DJ
Don Diablo shows
To step inside the mind of Don Diablo is to step inside the future. The Dutch visionary demonstrates a total immersion in his craft that has seen him challenge perceptions and break down creative boundaries with his numerous endeavours across the music, art, fashion and tech realms. Displaying an almost prophetic ability to tap into future trends, the forward-thinking Digital Artist refuses to be pigeonholed by just one avenue of his illustrious career.
Currently voted the world’s #7 DJ on the prestigious DJ MAG Top 100, the sought-after producer has collaborated with and remixed a wide range of artists including Dua Lipa, Justin Bieber, Gucci Mane, Ed Sheeran, Mark Ronson, Travis Barker, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Madonna, Ty Dolla $ign, The Chainsmokers, Coldplay and many more. Ever the perfectionist, the last couple of years has seen Don prepare his third studio album FORΞVΞR, set for release in September 2021. Taking on many forms since its inception, the album has been a labour of love for the perfectionistic Dutchman, marking his ever-evolving sound and ability to approach new genres with familiarity.
Whilst Don’s outstanding contribution to the electronic music scene has not gone unrecognised, to focus solely on Don’s – albeit phenomenal – music career is to do a disservice to a man who is consistently seeking to revolutionise every aspect of the cultural space he inhibits. Don is the embodiment of the future, and this modern approach is prevalent in everything he does – whether that’s through his futuristic aesthetic, or his creative output.
See y’all this Sunday! It will be next level. Trust me 😈 @tomorrowland pic.twitter.com/TkQmcBbloY

A consummate presenter, Don has hosted his hugely popular Hexagon radio show for over six years. Co-hosted by a robot boy called Hex, the hugely popular show is currently broadcast in over 68 countries to millions of listeners. A mentor to many, Don launched his Hexagon record label back in 2015, giving him the perfect platform to champion new talent. Year after year, the label remains one of the most influential imprints in the electronic music sphere, and placed in the Top 5 electronic music labels again in 2020.
Continuing his philanthropic endeavours, June 2021 saw Don Diablo and non-profit organisation Justdiggit launch their innovative #STREAMTOREGREEN initiative, with the release of first single ‘Too Much To Ask’ ft. Ty Dolla $ign. Donating all income from streams of the single to aid the organisation’s amazing environmental work, Don was invited to introduce the project at the United Nations Virtual Launch Gala, speaking alongside world leaders, activists and celebrities including Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan, Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel, and His Holiness Pope Francis.
In a mind that sees limitations as opportunities and dreams become reality, it should come as no surprise that despite being in the height of an international pandemic, Don has still unveiled a host of number of innovative creative projects that has ensured he is in the midst of one of the most ground-breaking years of his career to date.
