Diesel Jenny launches their debut release, a double A-side as part of their new white label series. The ferociously rungle two-tracker is the first trip out under a new moniker from veteran Pōneke-based producer Josh Finegan (fka ABG). With a back catalogue of break-heavy club tools and blown-out emotional heaters via underground mainstays Big Fresh Collective and Bankrupt Records, DJEN001 marks both a clean start and a continuation.

AA-side Gerbil rolls through at a mid-tempo but hits like a rumbling jenny just fired up. String synths straight from a warped 90s UKG daydream slide across vocal chops and thunderous kicks, with needle-sharp break fills holding it all together. Built for dark rooms and cheap smoke machines.

Dexy Heartbeat kicks the tempo up to 150 with a gleaming, hyper-addictive slice of club sugar. Arpeggios bubble and burst across the high end, while vocals stretch and snap like elastic across a rhythm section that’s somehow both clinical and deranged. It’s a love letter to the new wave of UK club maximalism, filtered through a distinctly local sense of humour and chaos.

Built for impact, the release arrives just ahead of Diesel Jenny’s midwinter Aotearoa tour, where these tracks will be stress-tested in full.
