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 has been killing it since the 90's. Dude created the modern sound 20 years ago. A Soldiers Story, System Updgrde, The Sixth Session, 97 Octane, The DungeonMaster's Guide. I could go on and on. Every single DnB DJ and producer knows about DieselBoy, trust me. This man is a legend. I had the pleasure of seeing him live around 2000 a few times. Legendary sets!

[@dukieb.1381]

Dieselboy - my DNB hero since Soldiers Story - my “Death Metal of techno” king……still bangin🤘

[@bringmeyourweak]

That's exactly it! I didn't know how to explain it. It's like longing to hear DRI whilst having to hear (Shiny Happy People)....

[@jungacrypto5581]

Soldiers Story was my beginning!

[@vanceglover9900]

Whenever someone says "it's all about uk dnb" I just say "Dieselboy" not down to argue. He just brings it

[@Stridershin]

Yo bump this comment up!!!

[@ryanmeyer6467]

Love the UK D&B! However, love the US D&B too! Love it all, cause I’m an everyday Junglist! Never mind all the arguing, just enjoy the music. I’ve seen Dieselboy live a minimum of 8 times in Colorado. Dude is my favorite! Props to all the others though. 🤟

[@danielellington4747]

Diesel is the greatest ever in my humble opinion

[@Shin_Lona]

9 times outta 10, they've never heard of him... make sure to hit em with the link.

[@danielforrest2952]

I’m from the uk don’t care where a dj is from as long as they’re amazing dieselboy is more than amazing but he doesn’t stand alone amc and crissy Chris are defo up there with him

[@jameskay3310]

I've been jamming diesel boy since the six 11 album in 98, I was 19. Good time's.😁💯🎉®

[@chrisolson5279]

The DJ that got me into d&b in 99 an my favorite hands down to this day saw him more times then I can count an blew me away every time an actual Tru DJ

[@Shin_Lona]

Same. The first time I heard System Upgrade, it broke my brain. It was like I had been living inside my whole life and accidentally found the door leading outside, like " ... the f*ck is this shit?" 😂

[@ryanmeyer6467]

@@Shin_Lona 97 Octane was the album that got me hooked. Favorite track was the EZ Rollers - Though at the Top on that album. 🤟

[@thereverendepi_gee565]

me too in 1998, I got a free copy of his first CD from the record label, when I owned a music shop in Denver.

[@jungacrypto5581]

Yes bro! I started in 99 as well! Dieselboy once came and rocked the Hanger the Houston back then. Was so amazing!

[@josephmiller375]

Love Dieselboy cannot imagine life without him

[@haaken-hj2gh]

Dieselboy said he's leaving you, sorry

[@danielleharding5349]

Same ❤️

[@houstoner]

He came to Houston not too long ago, I never call in sick to work, but when I found out at last minute, I didn't feel good that night lol. I never miss a show here.

[@snackbarian9937]

I first heard of Dieselboy in Need For Speed: Most Wanted in the old days.. I needed more since that fateful day 17 years ago… and each year since, Dieselboy always keeps my prescription filled

[@houstoner]

Same here. That game is responsible for bringing me into the DnB realm years ago. The earlier games got me into techno. NFS used to have the best soundtracks, now it is straight dogshit. Don't even get me started on NFS Heat soundtrack, by far the worst ever.

[@hotuish]

I am a grown man and this makes me the tears well up. 😢 it’s so nasty and beautiful

[@birdsiview6845]

I remember when diesel boy mixed house and breaks ,92 and pre 92, at Metropol. And I got a breaks tape from him recorded at a place called illusions. 1994. He was just having fun. A great mix too!

[@druha10304]

I’ve known about dieselboy since 2003 but I’m more of an underground hip hop head but this shit I been getting into again over the last few years thanks for posting

[@binaryfixation]

Wow, just incredible man. I first started hunting down every CD I could find from Dieselboy around 2000. Always wicked. Always in my rotation. Just found this and I am beyond pumped. Same wicked vibe, just love it.

[@karmapig]

I am dragging a$$ today at work, this is hitting harder than all the coffee I could drink.

[@damonmarez9417]

Midwest stand up. raves back in late 90s to early 2000s ..i was everywhere every weekend. every party..planet of drums? pure drum in bass at gym club in Ohio had him..helped throw that party...

[@jamieknox1806]

Gotta say those were good times I saw planet of the drums 3 different times and every time they had the crowd going fucking bonkers. I remember going to the Alliant energy center in Madison almost every other week for the biggest names in the game. I think Turned on 2 was by far the best event they had there then it was back in a people's house 2. It's sad how they ruined back in a people's house 3 in Illinois it was basically a big setup they even had a courthouse set up in one of the buildings to charge people right away. That was one of the last events I went to besides even further. Talk about memory lane. We definitely knew how to party and didn't hold anything back.

[@dukieb.1381]

PB-CLE scene here late 90’s early 2000’s

[@kyleturner1196]

The dnb oldhead in me is angry I didn't know Dieselboy put this out.

[@danielgaither7986]

I've been listening to this genius for many years and Yeah dieselboy is the best hands down. He has been doing this a long time! And let's not forget raw and original!

[@jameskay3310]

God I hope you can listen to diesel boy in heaven. Lol 🎶💯®

[@jasonmckee9743]

Dude was blowing shit up in killadelphia back in the 90's. Props

[@oliverdough]

He's not a respected U.S DnB producer/dj. .... No .... HES WORSHIPPED.

[@joshuamanning5070]

As always he never disappoints me this is freakin hard bro straight fire

[@wyllburling5124]

Didn't expect dnb when i tapped the thumbnail but I'm pleasantly suprised

[@brenreidy8763]

Of the first CD's I ever owned was the 6th sessions.

[@raykane8720]

Again! A mindblowing set! Fan from System Uprade ages and still

[@curtiswalton4593]

[@curtiswalton4593]

[@smilehunter2138]

Bravo! That's all I got to say about that...

[@flapb2069]

Glad to see this mix got re-uploaded to YT, for a while I could only find it on SoundCloud.

3:30 is when it starts

[@josephmiller375]

Beautiful!

[@Tr4newreck]

ddaaaaaaaamn son, some sick shit! good to hear the ol boy knocking around

[@imoveforward007]

When you have a rule zero with Post Malone and he says he’s playing an, “ah well you know…” deck, what that really means is a “Try hard tier 1 combo deck of yester year.”

[@apoollooxxxiii8293]

great work Master!!!don,t stop ,please:)ave Underground!!!

[@damonmarez9417]

word. I think ive seen dieselboy least 15 times or so. he is cool as fuck...i was blazin a rillo on stage with him...lol

4:57 💥💥💥

[@tonywozniak5135]

Can we get Diesel Boy and Quartz to headline a show, to me the leaders in dark DnB

[@houstoner]

Man that intro gives me chills, every, single, time! Love this album ❤❤ It makes for a great pretext to the adventure you're about to be taken on. My only gripe about this whole mix is when he butchered Nuvertal - Things We Shared, like just let that one play without the competing beats, it sounds bad.

[@jasonhicks7564]

When ever someone mentions UK DNB I like to argue and bring up 6BLOCC L.A. jungle pioneer setting the decks on fire every set straight reppin

[@yakubzambo1020]

Great Music!!!

[@thehamsteryourparentssayra4816]

It’s gonna be another wild year…

damn. this remix of The Prodigy. damn. so good!

[@EndgameofReligion]

Dope intro but 3:30 is where it starts and just after 56:50 is where you want to make it to...

[@User74]

Yay !

Listened to this at work on a proper PA System, sounds nang.

ARE YOU FOR REAL STILL SPINNING AND MIXING?? Is Dara and AK1200... is ... A PLANET OF THE DRUMS REUNION IN THE 2020s possible?????????

Oh cool, it's System Upgrade with 2 extra sound effects 🙄

🏆🥇🥈🥉🏅🎖️

[@user-kc2gi7eq1y]

OK...so he's still using turntables? Or is that a digitally simulated "authentic-sounding analog turntable noise" effect being applied at the beginning?

[@houstoner]

Nah, he performs on CDJs, but they are great at synthesizing analog sounds. I mean there is a chance he uses vinyl timecodes, but I haven't heard or seen him on turntables in years. I have a controller and it can mimic vinyl very well at the push of a button. Pretty sure the track was just pre recorded with that effect though. A little too crisp.

[@briguy5545]

@@houstoner never underestimate a vinyl dj....I started with vinyl and still spin it to this day. I love the sound. I'm sure diesel does too.

[@jamieknox1806]

Gone are the days of technic 1200s being the best of the best. Kinda sad 😥 I do like hearing some vinyl but that is far and gone it seems.

[@polchinski123]

still sick as fuck

[@sha_663]

NO donwtime. I wish there were some more sets like Heart of darkness, destroyer and destro2. Diverse and fresh Neurofunk back2back no mc

[@jonnybricks22]

What year was this album?

[@Karakourt]

2019

[@martyguy8185]

First track is a rip

[@RyanMovingViolationz]

Where's the darkness?!?! False advertising

[@DonDSelectah]

sry to observe that compared to mixes before 2000ish, this is a huge crap pile...

[@flapb2069]

He wasn’t pushing 4 decks to make this many mash-ups in one set either. Apples and oranges bro. His past albums were story book mixes FOR SURE. This is just a different approach.
