Dieselboy (aka Damian Higgins -- and not to be confused with the
punk band Diesel Boy) is hands-down the best
drum'n'bass DJ alive. He started DJ-ing in the early
1990's, and is largely responsible for
D'n'B forking from the larger
electronica genre of
jungle and becoming a genre in its own right, and showing those
European DJ's that the
USA has got its own fair share of
turntable talent as well.
Discography as of early 2000 includes:
- Drum & Bass Selection USA (1996)
- 97 Octane (1997)
- Vol 1. - Six Eleven DJ Mix Series (1998)
- Soldier's Story: Drum & Bass DJ Mix (1999)
- System Upgrade (2000)
- And a whole lot of compos
Personal favorites? "Intro: Precautionary Procedure" and "The Beckoning" (
tracks 1 and 2 -- anything that
samples Half-Life is cool) from "A Soldier's Story" and "Ultrasonic Sound" (track 4) from "System Upgrade".
