If You Only Buy 1 Dieselboy CD..........2004-01-13

...matter of fact, if you only buy one tech-step cd in your entire life then make it this one. Dieselboy's "The 6ixth Session" comes behind this one as 2nd, it may be a double cd and may be darker, but System Upgrade is pound for pound Dieselboy's best/most solid mix album, I pop it in the cd player and let it flow all the way through start to finish, you can't go wrong with a set like that.

If only one cd could single-handedly represent and define the genre of Tech-Step D&B, then System Upgrade is the answer. Buy now!

This Is It.......2003-11-20

As I said in my title, this album is IT. For me, this is one of my top five commercially-available d&b mixes of all time. What does it for me on this album is the progression, the energy, and the flow. In addition to picking out some very memorable tracks, just about every mix seems "logical," not that attitude of "Hey, listen to these two stormers I can mix." In other words, the mixes allow the tracks to complement each other, rather than just pile up drum parts and create white noise. The entire mix manages to maintain energy, and contains several "high points" that serve to really make the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I hear them, even for the millionth time or so. Finally, and possibly most importantly, the mix flows. By the end of the disc, the music is somewhere other than where it started. It progresses from front to back while still maintaining some common elements and loops throughout to give it unity. With all this said, however, just check it out. Seriously. Strap on a pair of good headphones, sit back, and it will all make sense...

Greatest dieselboy album to date '02.......2002-04-24

This is his greatest work to date, that includes his latest release - "Project Human". Seriously, he even admits in the linear notes that this is the sound that he has been working to achieve all the way through his previous albums. And he hasn't been able to top this one since. All his albums are pure dope, but this album is a pure masterpiece!

have we changed songs yet?.......2001-04-28

I have to admit that even though i am a big fan of diesel boy, this cd was very boring. The beats are too similar on every track, and the cd as a whole just has no "feeling" to it. If you want to hear him at his best, by 97 octane.

scorchingly so-so.......2001-01-15

In this mix, restless drumz careen your way at breakneck speeds, riding atop phearsome bolts of headstrong bass. There's no shortage of sonic energy here, and Dieselboy's mixing is uber-tight.

Still, I'm kind of disappointed. I prefer wild, original beats in hard jungle, but the underlying beats change little over the course of the entire disc. Predictability is boring, and this mix offers few surprises. Don't get me wrong -- it has its high points, such as E-Sassin's "Symptom", Dom & Roland's "Can't Punish Me", Technical Itch's "Deadline", and the wicked bass globs in Hive's "Ultrasonic Sound". Even so, I don't feel this CD is worth the money I paid for it.
