Dieselboy - 11-May-07 10:31 PM
Recently, I've been revisiting to the countless number of dnb CDs and mix tapes that I have collected over the years. Dieselboy’s DJ mixes are second to none. His studio mixes are simply astounding. My favorites are "The 6ixth Session", "projectHUMAN" and "The Dungeonmaster's Guide". The mixing on these three CDs is so precise it’s scary. Dieselboy’s mixes also typically feature some kind of theme and believe me; Dieselboy knows how to set a mood. Furthermore, Dieselboy's mixing perfection can be witnessed live, which is refreshing because big name dnb headliners often disappoint me. Apparently, being a good producer doesn’t mean you are a good DJ. In my opinion Dieselboy is the most impressive drum & bass DJ on the planet. His mixes are just awesome.

Click, click, pop. Click, click, click. Beep. I normally don’t go out of my way to trash talk someone’s work, but this is not music. I can honestly say that this is perhaps the most disappointing record I have ever bought, and I would not have bought it if I weren’t a Plus 8/Minus collector. Less does not necessarily mean more. Removing the superfluous components of a track can effectively increase its potency, but not if what you are left with has absolutely no character. It’s really a shame that this was released on Minus. In my opinion, it has tarnished the nearly impeccable reputation of one of my favorite record labels.
Magda - She's A Dancing Machine - 13-Oct-06 12:49 AM
I love this CD. Magda has successfully created an album with flawless mixing that possesses the energy most minimal DJ mixes lack. The sticker on the CD suggests that this is Magda's first DJ mix ever released. However, I just came across a CD entitled "Fact & Friction" which was released by Magda several years ago. I bought it at Record Time in Ferndale, Michigan. While I can identify a number of the tracks, I don't have the full track listing.
Mathew Jonson - 16-Dec-05 01:24 PM
Mathew Jonson's tracks have a unique, recognizable sound no matter what subgenre of techno, house or electro he is tinkering with. His tracks are consistently lengthy and predictable. This makes his tracks highly dependable for mixing purposes. Despite the formula (which I usually regard as a bad thing), his tracks still manage to sound fresh. He is also impressive live. Crowds love this guy. I like that he looks like he is having a lot of fun when he is performing. Unlike some live pa guys who look serious and unhappy up on stage. Jonson’s definitely one of my favorite producers at the moment.
Plastikman - Consumed - 09-Dec-05 11:35 PM
Consumed is one of my favorite CD's and it's my favorite Plastikman release by far. It is without a doubt a masterpiece when it comes to dubby, minimal and atmospheric techno. I like to listen to it real loud on a nice sound system or with high quality headphones. It's a challenging CD with all kinds of atmospheric sounds and deep basslines and it has the power to really make you think if you put some time and effort into it. HOWEVER, I think some people who listen to this CD believe it's the only one of its kind which just isn't the case. One of my other favorites is "Basic Channel" by Basic Channel.
