I get satisfaction when I show up with maybe the few first tracks planned and nothing else. If I were to show up with a perfectly, meticulously planned-out set… Sure, I could crush it, but how could I take pride in that? It wouldn’t be fulfilling. I mean, I get paid to DJ, but I take pride in my work and have a serious passion for it. I don’t get any personal satisfaction from that. I didn’t spend all of these years trying to master a craft, only to just show up and play a preprogrammed set. What you are describing is the way that people used to play.
It’s funny that you say that because that’s the way it is now. You know, instead of bringing a hard drive to a party. That’s great because it’s best when it’s about that old-school mentality of judging what your crowd wants, monitoring what they are responding to, and adjusting your music to what they want. Programmed or not, I put about 40 hours into it. This new mix is programmed precisely, because it is something that people will listen to over and over again. When I play live, it’s similar to how a studio mix sounds, but I don’t plan my live sets. I just don’t feel like those stand the test of time when you listen to them repeatedly, year after year.
Typically in a mix, I’ll put in some deeper tunes than I’d usually never play in a live set, and in a mix, I usually don’t put in super high-energy dance tracks. My live sets usually don’t sound exactly like my mixes. When you do your live set, you use four decks? There’s really no exact rhyme or reason to it. There are some new tracks I shoehorned in like a week before releasing this. As I was working on it, I would get new tunes and try to incorporate them here and there. This is more of an old-school “mixtape” mentality.ĭid you have a selection process with choosing the music for your latest mix? Or is that just what you are listening to right now?įor this one, I just sat down and made a folder of about 150 tracks music that I was already playing, some old stuff that I thought I could get little pops of energy out of.

Of all the other mixes I’ve put up on SoundCloud, the most plays I received was around 150,000 so this is great! Plus, it’s a drum & bass mix, so I wasn’t expecting 500K or anything. It looks like you’ve gotten a great response. I don’t get any personal satisfaction from that.Ĭongrats on your new release. I didn’t spend all of these years trying to master a craft only to show up and play a preprogrammed set. We caught up with Dieselboy while he was cruising around his hometown of Brooklyn on foot, as he’s never owned a car. Other than mixing it up with those he admires, he also enjoys cooking and concocting new recipes, declaring himself “food-obsessed.” Projects in the works for Dieselboy include potential collabs with artists such as Phace, SPKTRM and Rekoil, as well as a new project with close friend Mark the Beast, called Faces of Def, which features 175-bpm bass music influenced by various genres. In the meantime, Dieselboy, born Damian Higgins, collaborates with those who inspire him to reach new heights as a producer, DJ, and record label pioneer. It’s all in a day’s work for the man who was honored a decade ago by the UK-based Drum & Bass Arena Top 10 DJs online poll. They’ll have the new Dieselboy/Gridlok collaboration to look forward to on September 8, in which the two masterminds joined forces to create a scorching drum & bass banger titled “MDMX.”

He describes the mix as relating to the ’70s-themed Tarantino and Rodriguez movie collaboration, Grindhouse. Dieselboy conjured up the name while touring with Downlink on the Blood, Sweat and Bass tour. The 93 tracks take the listener on a thrill ride of heavyweight bass, weighing in at speaker blowout proportions. His new 90-minute release, The Destroyer, available on SoundCloud for a mere two weeks, has already amassed an astounding 270,000+ plays. Case in point, drum & bass icon Dieselboy. If a big-time artist gifts some of their music, it’s apparent that they care deeply for their fans. A person’s character is defined not by who they are, but what they do.
