Who is Dieselboy?

Damian Higgins, better known by his stage name Dieselboy, is an American DJ, producer, remixer, founder of the Human Imprint music label in 2002, and co-founder of its sublabel SubHuman : Human Imprint which launched in September 2010. Known for decimating dance floors through complex, dynamic live mixing of cutting edge underground bass music on three CDJ's, he acquired the nickname "The Destroyer" in 2012.

In February 2012, Higgins co-founded Planet Human as the umbrella label for Human Imprint and SubHuman.

On New Year's Eve 2009 headlining a 3D Productions event at Club 24 in Washington, D.C., Dieselboy played a 3-hour multi-sub-genre set including drum and bass, dubstep and electro. The enthusiastic crowd response encouraged him to continue experimenting with this new format into 2010. In early 2013 he began playing some all drum and bass sets again.

Dieselboy was the first American to be voted into the UK-based Drum & Bass Arena Top 10 DJs 2004 online poll, and has played events on six continents. He was also the first drum 'n' bass artist to chart a single on Billboard's dance chart with Invid in 2000. Dieselboy is sponsored by DC Shoes and Pioneer PRO DJ.
