DJ/Producer Maverick Dieselboy Unleashes
The Dungeonmaster’s Guide – A Drum & Bass Revolution
New York, NY – DJ/Producer Dieselboy, America’s premier drum and bass artist, brings you The Dungeonmaster’s Guide – a double CD sonic assault of drum and bass featuring exclusive remixes of trance, techno, and jungle – due out on HUMAN/System Recordings late spring. No ordinary mix CD, the first disc of the highly anticipated release features all original remixes of dance music’s elite, including BT, Sasha, Tiesto, and Josh Wink , as well as d‘n’b’s Tech Itch, Usual Suspects, and Concord Dawn. CD2 features previously unreleased remixes of tracks from Dieselboy’s famed HUMAN label, with tunes from Dieselboy’s sometime production partners and HUMAN all-stars Kaos, Karl K, and Jae Kennedy.
Dieselboy, who amassed his earliest fan base in Internet chatrooms, first broke barriers when he was invited to play at London’s leading drum and bass club Fabric, surmounting years of division between the UK and US scenes. His contributions to the international drum and bass scene have earned him the honor of being the first American to be nominated (and win, tying with LTJ Bukem) for best d‘n’b DJ at the 1998 Global DJ Mix Awards, the first American to get his record played at Metalheadz (2000’s “Invid”), the first American d‘n’b DJ to score higher on DJ Mag’s Top 100 poll than a UK DJ (63 to Fabio and Grooverider’s 97 and 8, and the first d‘n’b DJ to chart a single on Billboard’s dance chart. And with the demand for his DJ skills reaching from Cape Town to Hong Kong to his home of Philadelphia, Dieselboy is an undisputed idol.
“Dieselboy has managed to build a fan base that rivals that of any rock star.”
-Knowledge Magazine, UK
Seeking to again change the state of affairs in the music world, Dieselboy has taken on the sizable challenge of blurring the rigid delineations that have long plagued dance music, the demarcations between drum ‘n’ bass, techno, house, trance/progressive. Entitled The Dungeonmaster’s Guide in homage to his role-playing game days (the original Dungeon Master’s Guide actually being the first RPG book Dieselboy ever bought), the CD is put together like an epic adventure across a varied and rugged soundscape. “It’s a nod to my geek gaming roots,” Dieselboy says. All the narration has been scripted personally by Dieselboy, and features the illustrious voice of none other than Peter Cullen, aka the Transformers’ Optimus Prime.
Approaching some of the top artists in the electronic music world, The Dungeonmaster’s Guide features a remix by Kaos and Karl K of Sasha’s “Immortal,” an Evol Intent remix of BT’s “Knowledge of Self,” a Paul B + Subwave remix of Tiesto’s “Flight 643,” as well as a Gridlok remix of techno prodigy Josh Wink’s “Evil Acid.” These original exclusive tunes were then mixed together with specially commissioned remixes of top drum ‘n’ bass tracks - including Concord Dawn “Take Me Away (Ill Skillz Remix)” and Tech Itch “The Hand (Dungeonmaster Exclusive)” - to create CD1.
CD2 of the double-disc set features a bonus EP of remixes of original tracks from Dieselboy's label, HUMAN, started in 2002 as a way to help promote US artists he felt deserved attention. For the EP, he approached some of his favorite US producers (among them Gridlok, KC, Stratus, Evol Intent and Basic Operations) to remix the HUMAN singles written by Kaos, Karl K and Jae Kennedy, who blew up in 2003 with a series of Billboard-charting releases.
This ground-breaking release from one of the Founding Fathers of American drum & bass only solidifies Dieselboy's place as an innovator in the music scene. GAME ON. |
not a big fan of dslboy, but i can't wait to hear the Paul B + Subwave remix of Flight 643 and the Kaos + Karl remix of Immortal. These are all amazing producers. Hard to imagine these tracks with dnb beats though, but these guys can pull it of. |

Cool! Thanks for posting news about this!
Some interesting remix choices!!!
Especially, for me:
---> Evol Intent remix of BT’s “Knowledge of Self,”
The original had vocals that were originally 90 BPM (I think) sped up to something like 130 BPM... what are they going to do, speed it up again to 180-200 BPM? LOL... Or maybe they will use the original-speed vocals because that makes sense... 180/90 = factor of 2 like so many DnB remixes of rap/hip-hop choons.
Sounds like some SERIOUS crossover action going on, not to mention the voice of Optimus Prime. That's gotta kick... I like the narration on the last mix of his I listened to, it added an epic cinematic field and set it apart from the monotony that can sometimes kick in.
Hey, have Dieselboy and Joshua Ryan ever collaborated on a track? I can't recall offhand but I think they're good friends in real life. That'd be cool. |

| One of my fave D&B artists is John B... for his audacity, ingenuity fashion, sense of humor, and just sheer FUN. I'd like to see him and Dieselboy do something together (LOL I sure have a lot of dream matchups, I know). |
