Don Diablo opens the next chapter of his career with "Go Home With A Stranger", a new single with Wiz Khalifa and Chri$tian Gate$ that also announces his forthcoming studio album "FLUX" - the third and final installment in his album trilogy after "FUTURE" and "FOREVER". Out March 20, the release is presented firmly through Don's lens: a genre-fluid, future-facing record that taps into the classic Don Diablo sound fans know him for, while widening the frame through a high-profile link-up with one of hip-hop's most recognizable voices. It is also a natural next step for an artist who has never treated genre as a boundary - from last year's collaboration with Nelly Furtado to the drum & bass explorations of his CONTROL ALT DΞLETΞ project, Don has consistently pulled inspiration from different corners of music while keeping his creative identity intact. Rather than stepping away from his world, "Go Home With A Stranger" expands it, showing how comfortably he can bring together different energies and influences under one vision. That creative range feeds directly into the launch of "FLUX", a project designed to bridge the Don Diablo world listeners already know with the one he is now stepping into. As the album's first official taste, the single sets the tone for what's ahead: reflective in intent, forward-looking in sound.
"I've been living with this record for almost a year, shaping it, rebuilding it, obsessing over every detail to make it the perfect first chapter of my 'FLUX,' the third and final chapter of my album trilogy after 'FUTURE' and 'FOREVER.' Collaborating with Wiz Khalifa and Christian Gates pushed the energy to a whole new dimension. This song feels like a bridge between the Don Diablo world you've known and the one I'm stepping into, past and future colliding in sound and spirit. For me, this is what electronic music should be: passion-driven, message-powered, and unapologetically futuristic and innovative. I want it to pull you into your own universe or maybe into mine and let you feel something bigger than yourself. This is the beginning of a new chapter for me and I couldn't be more excited!" - Don Diablo
