Dieselboy - 19-Jun-02 04:12 PM
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 UK's 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. Dieselboy's 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 Dieselboy's 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 I've ever heard.

Mark Caro is truly one of a kind. I can't think of many artist who, just by his name, I'll buy anything of his, without even listening to it. His tracks are very distinct and his style is indegenous to none other. His high level of detail to his tracks and also sound depth are one of his trademarks. His distorted, filtered style of Drum n' Bass is truly magnificent. No one can throw in Amen, and totally switch it up like he can. If you think Dark Jungle is dead, this guy is Lazarus.
Suggested Tracks: Mind Killa, Pusher, California Curse Remix, Reborn, Heavy Metal, Stack, Deadline
Pish Posh - 14-May-02 03:34 PM
Pish Posh, aka DJ Wally, is probably the best stateside producer of Drum N' Bass out right now. His sound is a fusion of both UK and US Drum N' Bass, which is very rare to find. As DJ Wally was known for his trip-hop, his Drum N' Bass skills are just as impressive. Not only that, but he is also a master of the tables, as he has several DJ Mixes out currently. His latest mix "Indoor Storm", shows both his versatile production and superior mixing skills, as all the tracks on this mix are produced by him. "Medicine Ball" and "HP52" are two KILLA tracks on the mix...hard, break-your-neck Amen! Also, His MC, Posi-D , is also a good addtion, as he ranks somewhere between Skibadee and Navigator.

Skeptic is probably my second favorite producer right now for hard Amen Rinseout tracks. Skeptic, aka Dave Cutter, hasn't been out that long, but the fact of the matter is that he revamping the Amen craze. My favorite track of his, and certainly one of the best dancable/listen-friendly D tunes ever is Tear (off the Tear/Media 12"). This track starts off with a sweet little tooted riff, then the most sensual voice starts to fade in...right about this time, you're gonna get an uppercut to the senses, as the Amen beatz invade the song...it goes into a nice little Amen pattern for a while, then the sensual voice...ah, very nice for any Drum N' Bass enthusiast and highly recommended.
Suggested Tracks: Tear, Lead, Grip, Vapour, Revolution
T.C. Izlam - 08-Apr-02 06:56 AM
TC Izlam is the baddest MC I've ever heard. Having notorious status in the UK, Izlam is now regarded as the #1 MC in the US, and in the top 5 in the World. He is the only US MC to work with several UK labels, and is featured in their productions. TC Izlam is the resident MC of Konkrete Jungle in NYC, and can often be found alongside his good friend and partner, Carlos "Soul" Slinger. Having personally met and chilled with this guy, I can tell you how cool he is. His ferocity and verbal tactics with a mic will go with nearly and Drum N' Bass DJ...he's sporatic, energetic, and I've never seen him anything less than amazing.
Suggested Tracks: Soul Power, Birth of Da Cool, Time & Space, Plutonic
