Don Diablo

Don Diablo is the alias of Don Pepijn Schipper, a producer and DJ from Coevorden in the north-east of the Netherlands. He started out in the electro and breaks scenes before settling on the sound later called future house: four-to-the-floor grooves with springy, metallic basslines and drops built around melodic hooks.

"Cutting Shapes" brought that sound to a wide audience, and much of his later output pairs it with pop vocalists, alongside a steady run of remixes for mainstream artists. Hexagon serves as both his record label and the name of his weekly radio show, which he uses to showcase younger producers working in a similar style.
