Don Diablo — Future House DJ & Label Co-FounderDon Diablo
Don Pepijn Schipper, known as Don Diablo, is a Dutch DJ from Coevorden widely credited as a pioneer of future house. He began DJing in 1995 and built early live experience at Glastonbury, Lowlands, Creamfields and Ministry of Sound. His career has also included aliases such as Divided, Camp Kubrick, Lunar Lo-Fi and CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ, reflecting a willingness to work across more than one electronic identity.
In 2006, he helped A&R Mason's Exceeder, which became a UK top-three hit, and he co-founded the Middle of the Road label with Roy Avni. Starlight (Could You Be Mine) became a notable moment in 2013 when it debuted at Swedish House Mafia's final concert before their hiatus, later reaching the Beatport top five after he signed to Axwell's label. Don Diablo has remixed artists including Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Madonna, Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa, Coldplay and Miley Cyrus.
In 2014 he launched the Hexagon visual stage concept with VSquared Labs, pairing his future-house focus with a dedicated visual presentation. He has also appeared in the DJ Mag Top 100, reaching a career high within its top tier. His DJ career joins early club and festival experience with a forward-looking house identity and an enduring interest in visual context.
