艺人介绍

作为美国电子音乐运动的灵魂人物,Dieselboy 一直被尊称为美国drum 'n' bass教父。 Dieselboy自校园时代已热爱breakdancing 以及80年代的synthpop, 和金属音樂。90年代初,经典T99 techno舞曲"Anasthasia"打开了他的DJ之路,他除了成为校园电台DJ以外,更于互联网上发放其作品,聚集了一群音乐爱好者。Dieselboy对音乐的狂热令他平步青云,走上国际DJ之路。他在美国费城的周式派对Platinum是美国最长寿的drum’n’bass 周式派对之一。

Dieselboy身为美国最成功的鼓打贝斯人物,身后更有无数的成就支撑着他在美国舞坛的地位:1998年的世界DJ大赛中,他是首位被提名並获奖的美國人,與LTJ Bukem齐名。他也是首位於倫敦名店Fabric 演出的美國人以及是史上首位成功攻佔美国Billboard流行乐曲排行榜的drum and bass DJ。Dieselboy 多次被 BPM杂志读者评价为我最喜爱的美國 DJ。更于2003 年的American DanceStar Awards 被提名 最佳突破DJ。英國的权威drum’n’bass杂志Knowledge Magazine更称,「 Dieselboy所带领的乐迷可媲美任何摇滚巨星!」

Dieselboy 之经典大碟 "The Dungeonmaster's Guide" 成功打破drum 'n' bass, techno, house and trance/progressive house 的界限,将不同的跳舞音乐融会贯通,完美地化成一体。Dieselboy 以敏锐的触角选用现今顶级大师以及炙手可热的drum 'n' bass新星之作品创作独特remixes。参与與 trance/progressive 巨星包括BT ,Sasha 和Tiesto ,以及techno代表Josh Wink 等。大碟空前成功 ,得到全球乐迷的喝采。他酷愛音乐加上其紧凑的巡回派对,为他赢得全世界的樂迷的疯狂追随。

The jungle scene has always been centered in Britain, leaving Americans to watch from afar, import the records, and spin occasionally (though rarely very well). Damian Higgins reversed the trends a little bit with his nation-trotting gigs and frequent mix albums released as Dieselboy. Born in Pennsylvania, Higgins began DJing during the early '90s and organized house parties in and around Philadelphia. By 1993, the sound of jungle had begun pumping up America as well as Britain, and Dieselboy made the switch to drum'n'bass. He DJed at jungle events all around America and helmed 1996's Suburban Base jump-up compilation Drum & Bass Selection USA. Another Sub Base mix album, 97 Octane, followed in 1997. Dieselboy's next two albums (A Soldier's Story, System Upgrade) appeared on Moonshine, the premier American mix label. In mid-1999, Higgins began his production career with a single ("Atlantic State") for the respected British concern Technical Itch Recordings, and another single, "Descent," followed later that year for Palm Pictures. Dieselboy's 2000 release, The 6ixth Session, combined a mix disc with a full one of productions.
