The jackie chan of the jungle world.
There were few that could match the mans quality from 92 to 95 it all went a bit wonky after that.
Still no matter what rubbish he produces today wont take away the fact the guy made serious tunes that still to this day kill the dance, and for that you have to salute him

Dillinja is simply the heaviest, most hard-hitting man in all of drum'n'bass.
Truly an eminent figure in the techstep scene, his basslines are rib-crushingly heavy and low; the Valve soundsystem is something to be heard (which, I've heard, can BE heard from about a block away).

Dillinja is one of the most important and prolific drum and bass artists. People say he's commercial. I disagree. Heavy beats and bass, that's all!

This man IS drum and bass! Drum and bass in itself has had it's ups and downs but Dillinja is the only one if not one of the few who understand very well how the breaks and the bass should collaborate in unison. I find that this seriously lacks in most DNB producers, Dillinja nails it always! Hard, rugged beats and tough, swollen drop kick basslines that still make my mouth water. Total PHATNESS!!

Big up Dillinja, this producer has for many years been at the forefront of drum and bass and it looks like he will stay there for time.
It defies belief how he can keep coming with such fresh, fully phat dancehall pressure without putting a foot wrong. And the BASS!
IF u have never heard of Dillinja (or his cohort Lemon D) than u have never heard just how dangerous this man's subsonic vibes can be and his musical talent has continued to develop. When the album drops (sorry D but i aint holding my breath) this artist should get the attention his skills truly deserve.

January 29, 2012No one ever worked out how Dillinja made his sound, even if TC did try. But a Dilly track is a Dilly track, you can't manufacturer the vibe.
I won't bother to explain Dillinja's sound, because all you need to do is crank it up and listen.
To the dude saying it went wonky after 95 you have to be crazy, Dilly went next level from late nineties and DOMINATED the scene in early 2000s, with the roughest sound ever.
Dillinja is so influential that all producers - top ones in the D&B scene - have files on their computer named "Dillinja bass" in bids to categorise their best samples. Dilly is the one everyone, even the biggest producers like Pendulum and Fresh, aspire to. He defined the DnB bassline.
