ABOUT DIESELBOY

A staple of the Stateside electronic movement from its inception, Dieselboy is hailed as one of the founding fathers of American drum 'n' bass. His passion for the music combined with his rigorous touring and schedule and first class productions have earned him a place in the upper pantheon of DJs/producers able to connect with audiences the world over. Dieselboy is consistently rated as one of America's Favorite DJs in BPM Magazine annual reader's poll, and received a nomination for Best Breakthrough DJ at the 2003 American DanceStar Awards.

Dieselboy's previous album, The Dungeonmaster's Guide, received critical acclaim for breaking down the barriers between drum 'n' bass, techno, house and trance/progressive house. Approaching notable trance/progressive artists, including BT, Sasha and Tiesto, as well as techno icon Josh Wink, Dieselboy embarked on a mission to create something unique by having these artists' tracks remixed by the some of largest names and hottest up-and-coming drum 'n' bass producers today. Dieselboy's continued mission for bringing forth drum 'n' bass' freshest new talent and pushing the boundaries of the genre forward, carries on with Dieselboy Presents The Human Resource.

Founded in early 2002, the primary design behind Dieselboy's label, HUMAN Imprint, has been explicit: first, to provide an outlet for the release of Dieselboy's material, second, to promote domestic drum and bass and finally, to convey Dieselboy's distinct vision, concept and aesthetic. At HUMAN Imprint, output is never rushed; everything proceeds organically – from Dieselboy's venerable Project HUMAN 2xCD, through the numerous vinyl releases, to the ambitious Dungeonmaster's Guide 2xCD/3xLP, the maxim is always 'Excellence First.'

The 2xCD/2xLP Dieselboy presents THE HUMAN RESOURCE is nothing less than a comprehensive anthology of HUMAN Imprint's finest moments to date and a blueprint for the future. This particular undertaking has literally been years in the making. As a unique addition to the CD1 unmixed label compilation, the fine gentlemen of Evol Intent have been hard at work in their laboratory stitching together various bits and pieces from HUMAN Imprint's varied catalogue for the accompanying DJ-mixed CD2. The end result is, how shall we put it, quite monstrous…

Atlanta's triple threat, Evol Intent (Knick, Gigantor and the Enemy), are purveyors of incendiary modern jungle - producing a slew of the freshest forward thinking drum 'n' bass anthems of late. Born out of hardcore-punk culture, the trio has developed a unique raucous sound. The Evol Intent approach is unmistakable; it utilizes incredibly dynamic drum mechanics, razor sharp edits, saw tooth synths and an element of discord echoing their punk youth. In a very short period of time this group has amassed a substantial discography, recording for prestigious labels such as Renegade Hardware, Outbreak and Human, as well as their own Evol Intent label.
