Don Diablo, the Dutch DJ and producer who pioneered future house and founded the HEXAGON label, brings his full-scale show back to London in Shoreditch.
Don Diablo, the Dutch DJ and producer counted among the pioneers of future house, plays a headline show at Unlocked Shoreditch on Saturday 28 November 2026. It is his only British date of the autumn.
He is Don Pepijn Schipper, born in 1980 and from Coevorden in the Netherlands. From 1995 to 2005 he produced for other acts and released his own music under several aliases. In 2006 he signed Mason’s “Exceeder”, a top three hit in Britain, to Middle of the Road, the label he had set up with an Amsterdam club promoter.
His debut album, Life Is a Festival, arrived in 2008. Axwell later signed “Starlight (Could You Be Mine)”, which was first played at Swedish House Mafia’s last concert.
In 2015 he founded his own label, HEXAGON, and in 2020 he ranked sixth in the industry’s annual poll of the world’s DJs. He also works as a digital artist and tours a second project, CONTROL ALT DELETE.
He brings his full-scale show back to the capital. Unlocked is East London’s largest multi-floor venue, with three floors and 24,500 square feet of industrial space on Curtain Road. It holds 1,220.
