Dieselboy

Real Name:Damian Higgins
Profile:Born : 1972 // Steel City, PA, United States
A staple of the Stateside electronic movement from its inception, Dieselboy is hailed as one of the founding fathers of American drum'n'bass. His passion for the music combined with his rigorous touring and schedule and first class productions have earned him a place in the upper pantheon of DJs/producers able to connect with audiences the world over. Dieselboy is consistently rated as one of America's Favorite DJs in BPM Magazine annual reader's poll, and received a nomination for Best Breakthrough DJ at the 2003 American DanceStar Awards. Dieselboy’s previous album, The Dungeonmaster's Guide, received critical acclaim for breaking down the barriers between drum'n'bass, techno, house and trance/progressive house. Approaching notable trance/progressive artists, including BT, Sasha and Tiesto, as well as techno icon Josh Wink, Dieselboy embarked on a mission to create something unique by having these artist's tracks remixed by the some of largest names and hottest up-and-coming drum'n'bass producers today. Dieselboy's continued mission for bringing forth freshest new drum'n'bass talent and pushing the boundaries of the genre forward, carries on with Dieselboy Presents The Human Resource.

DJ_Naz, Jun 19, 2002

Dieselboy is a total machine and should be viewed as the best Drum N Bass DJ in the US, ever. His mixing has gone waaaay beyond flawless, as at this point, Dieselboy mixes records that no one else can, literally. As he has won over the respect of the UKs D mafia, he has access to numerous dubplates and "one-time" presses that NO ONE else will ever get. Watching him spin is just as incredible, as he does it 100% effortlessly. Many of his mixes are also "one-shots", meaning no-rehearsal, he just mixed it once and pressed it. Dieselboys best stuff however is the mixtapes that flow in the underground scene. You can barely find them now, but they are very good and simply amazing. I highly recommend everyone into D pick up his newest mix "Project Human" and critique it. It is Dieselboys aim at fusing UK and US D together, as he has US hits remixed by UK producers, and UK hits remixed by US producers. He also incorporates not only Jungle and D, but also Disco, House, and even Trance. Very innovative, and possibly the most creative mix Ive ever heard.
