Dieselboy is a total machine and should be viewed as the best Drum N' Bass DJ in the US, ever.His mixing has gone waaaay beyond flawless, as at this point, Dieselboy mixes records that no one else can, literally.NO ONE else will ever get.Dieselboy's best stuff however is the mixtapes that flow in the underground scene.It is Dieselboy's aim at fusing UK and US D together, as he has US hits remixed by UK producers, and UK hits remixed by US producers.My Discogs
