5.0 out of 5 stars phat trax / hard all the way through, July 7, 2000

These are some very fast very hard tracks, Dieselboy has the tempo cranked up through the whole CD which I don't necessarily mind but I would like to hear the tracks in more detail at original tempo. Compared to System Upgrade the production is alot higher IMO, System Upgrade distorts a bit on my system at high volumes whereas this is smooth smooth smooth and very hard all the way through with no static and/or distortion. Also the tracks are very consistent style, maintaining a nice dark and fast atmosphere through the whole CD, without getting too tedious (i.e. there are some different styles of bass terrorism interspersed with noise terrorism and some random ear piercing terrorism to keep things varied). As usual his mixing is smooth and things flow nicely from one track to the next with only a couple sudden cuts which work one way or another.

This review is from: Soldier's Story: Drum & Bass DJ Mix (Audio CD)

If you're interested in hard, fast jungle-this is the cd of choice...With his wonderful sounds of slow, fast, hard, beats combined into one is what makes me want to listen more.Not to mention his skill in mixing the beats together. if you're into sound that wil get you up, higher and higher Diesel boy is the one to listen to. Especially this particular c.d.!

5.0 out of 5 stars Furious Beats Mixed by the best Jungle DJ, August 19, 2001

By 

Dmitriy Zinchenko (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soldier's Story: Drum & Bass DJ Mix (Audio CD)

When I first heard about this album, one reviewer told me that the symbolism behind the title was that in the trance-pop infested 90's world of raves, Drum and Bass artists are thrown into some back corner and never given any love or respect. Thus, they are called soldiers. Although a little skeptical of this theory, I couldn't help thinking about it once I heard track one open with "Welcome to the HEV mark four..." as if the DJ you're about to hear is preparing for all out war.

Musically speaking, that's not too far away from the truth. Right from the start Dieselboy pumps up the beats to a furious tempo blended with dark undertones and keeps the tensions high throughout the rest of the album. The tone is always dark but extremely energetic and Higgins' (Dieselboy) mixing skill is top notch! I always enjoy listening to this album and I think Dieselboy's music here is not only representative of modern Jungle style but also of the D&B artist community. This CD is the paragon of Jungle music.
