The sound of the needle on tue record, the good old days

No shade and All Shade !!!!!  Keep it Dark!!!

In October of 2021 I was given the opportunity to craft a 30 minute mix for Rene LaVice's pivotal drum and bass mix show on the UK's legendary BBC Radio 1. Somewhat unlike my other mixes I decided to take this one in a deep future funk direction with much less emphasis on dancefloor tunes. The final product was hopefully something that sounded good on the radio and also appealed to a wide variety of forward thinking listeners. 

It's a quick one for sure...and I hope you enjoy!

DIESELBOY - THE DESTROYER
KILLING IT is his business, and business is BOOMING!

HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS 

Dieselboy, a man who has spent over two decades finely honing the craft of mixing music to make people’s minds explode, now brings you his latest 85 minute, 93 track DRUM AND BASS THRILL RIDE. This release is Rated R for RUGGED AS FUCK - a dense brick of heavyweight bass meant to test sound systems, spike heart rates and melt speakers. Inspired by the wildly successful BLOOD SWEAT AND BASS tour with Downlink, THE DESTROYER brings the pain with a 70s grindhouse cinema aesthetic and features the insane level of detail that Dieselboy’s mixes are known for - Big intro. Big outro. Bad ass artwork. And layers and layers and layers of sonic flavor.

This is not your standard “DJ MIX”. This is a modern CULT CLASSIC. An experience designed for repeated listens. In the car. In the gym. In your headphones while you are straight kicking ass and taking names. Created to piss off your neighbors, scare children and hurt other DJ's feelings. CRANK IT THE FUCK UP!

And brace yourself for the WHITE HOT FURY that is... THE DESTROYER

The Destroyer

One of my most personal mixes. For this one I really tried to go outside the box conceptually - who would have thought to do a fantasy role-playing themed drum and bass mix? Having been a life long Dungeons and Dragons fan, I thought it would be cool to basically let everyone know that I was into role-playing games. And for the intro I was able to lock down the voice of Optimus Prime himself Peter Cullen! During the recording process I was patched into his headphones when he was in the studio and was even able to direct him. It wasn't until later that I discovered he had voiced the character of Venger on the 80's cartoon series Dungeons and Dragons. Awesome! The artwork was once again handled by the legendary Akira Takahashi. One of the coolest parts of the art is the reoccurring image of a dragon which is an exact copy of the dragon tattoo on my back. I always thought Akira was very clever to incorporate that image so deeply throughout the design. Though you cannot see it here, I spent a lot of time working on the liner notes so that they kind of read like stuff you would find in Dungeons and Dragons rulebooks. One of the coolest things about this project was being able to get remixes made of popular non-dnb artists like Tiësto, Sasha, Josh Wink and BT. It really sort of pushed this thing over the top at the time. Finally there is something that needs to be said about one of the tracks on here. The Paul B + Subwave remix isn't of the Tiësto tune "Flight 643". It is a remix of his track "Lethal Industry". I can't remember why this happened in the first place, but there you go! Enjoy :)

The Dungeonmaster's Guide

System Upgrade was my 4th and final mix CD release for Moonshine back in 2000. I was on a roll at this point, given that my last CD “Soldier’s Story” had been released only one year before. I was super motivated by the freedom that I had finally been given to select all of the music in my mixes, and this tracklist reflects a truly diverse selection of really great drum and bass from that era. Being able to kick things off with the remix of “Mindscan” by the legends Ed Rush and Optical was truly an honor for me. At that time stateside artists and DJs were still struggling with garnering respect from the UK. I feel that this mix was sort of a transition for building trans-Atlantic relationships during that unfortunately tense era. Dillinja came through with a beast of a remix for American super producer Hive with “Ultrasonic Sound”. Decoder did serious justice to his remix of my tune “The Descent”. And E-Sassin was one of my favorite artists at the time and straight killed it with tracks like “Symptom”. A true American DNB classic. The rest of the mix was filled out with plenty of great music from the likes of Bad Company (the first time they licensed a tune for the American market), Kemal and Rob Data AKA Konflict and of course Dom + Roland, Tech Itch, etc. Was always super happy with the tunes I was able to get for this one. And yes, this was another mix I did in my pajamas sitting on the floor of my living room in my apartment in Philadelphia. Very classy! The artwork was handled by Justin Fines, otherwise known as Demo Design. I discovered his work on a flier at a rave in Detroit back in the 90s. He was way beyond most flier designers at that point in time. Currently he is killing it in the world of TV commercials here in NYC. Was very lucky to have him on board for this project. The concept of the mix was elevating consciousness through music. This theme played out through the title of the mix, the graphics, the liner notes, and the intro (which was a collaboration between myself and a Mr Justin Geller). Here is a fun story. The rainforest environment FX in the intro were recorded in binaural sound (that means in headphones they should sound like they are in true 3D audio). We also used a sample from one of my favorite new age / synth artists at the time named Steve Roach. Outside of the new age music scene I didn’t think he was well known. Buuut…Moonshine ended up getting contacted by his lawyers for my illegal sampling of his track. I had to forfeit all of my income from the CD to pay Steve Roach back for using his music in my intro without clearance. To this day I am still not sure how he found about it. Long story short, “System Upgrade” is a mix that reflected the vibe of drum and bass at the time and it was a very important stepping stone between what I had previously been doing before mix wise and what I would go on to do with the “6ixth Session” and future mixes. And, to this day, people still tell me that it is their favorite mix. I don’t disagree. I feel like this was an important moment in the progression of the  US drum and bass scene.

Wake The Dead (Remastered)

FOUR MEN - ONE MISSION

It happened during the summer of 2000. North America’s most prominent drum and bass DJs joined forces to create the legendary crew known as PLANET OF THE DRUMS. Using their combined muscle to push drum and bass music into the spotlight of the main stage they toured tirelessly for well over a decade, fronted by the vocal rhyme animal known as Messinian. Their incessant drive and motivation helped set the groundwork of the scene that exists today.

Feeling their work completed, the team turned their focus to personal projects and the PLANET OF THE DRUMS program was retired. But as was soon discovered, the drum and bass scene in North America began a slow freefall into underground obscurity.

This could not stand.

Reuniting in 2017, the PLANET OF THE DRUMS crew returned to continue their original mission - celebrating, honoring and advancing drum and bass music. “AWAKENING” represents a retrospective of some of their favorite sounds, highlights and moments from the past year. What always made POTD special was the compelling combination of the boys’ varied styles - AK and his raw motherfucking breakbeats. Dara’s rolling dancefloor vibes. Dieselboy with the heavy cinematic pressure. Three hundred and sixty degrees of futuristic drum and bass business.

THE PLANET HAS AWAKENED!

No "playlist". No computer assistance. No smoke and mirrors. No SYNC button.

ONE man.

JOURNAL ENTRY - MARCH 26 2019

“I was a wanderer on a prehistoric earth, of an earth that wore the aspect of an unknown planet. Going up that river was like traveling back to the earliest beginnings of the world, when vegetation rioted and the big trees were kings. An empty stream, a great silence, an impenetrable jungle. The air was warm, thick, heavy, sluggish. The long stretches of the waterway ran on, deserted, into the gloom of overshadowed distances…and this stillness of life did not in the least resemble a peace. It was the stillness of an implacable force brooding over an inscrutable intention. It looked at you with a vengeful aspect. As I slowly penetrated ever so deeper into this heart of darkness my soul was set ablaze with an infinity of wonders that I discovered…”

--

Dieselboy returns to deliver another mind-bending powerhouse of visionary drum and bass programming - the electrifying HEART OF DARKNESS! 28 years of World Tour DJ’ing with an obsessive focus on clever and creative mixing has driven him to craft this STAGGERING 91 minute / 125 track subsonic BEHEMOTH that pushes the boundaries of a DJ mix. Moving far beyond the traditional “linear” mixing model, Dieselboy has perfected a style of layering tracks that can only be described as “threaded” or “braided” - songs, loops and samples twist around one another in specific ways so that every element enhances those around it. With HEART OF DARKNESS the man has created an absolutely compelling audio experience - painting vibrant peaks, deep valleys and broad vistas of dense sonic textures designed to spellbound the intrepid listener. Come and take this incredible journey with him…DEEP INTO THE HEART OF THE JUNGLE!

May 19th 2019 - The Destroyer ascends the steps to the fabled Basspod at Electric Daisy Carnival to deliver a carpetbomb of  100% unadulterated drum and bass napalm upon the assembled masses. Track after track after straight fucking triple drop continuously craters the crowd into a vast smoking ruin. 

News reports later confirm there were no survivors.
