History[edit] In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a growing nightclub and overnight outdoor event culture gave birth to a new electronic music style called rave music, which, much like hip-hop, combined sampled syncopated beats or breakbeats, other samples from a wide range of different musical genres and, occasionally, samples of music, dialogue and effects from films and television programmes. But rave music tended to feature stronger bass sounds and a faster tempo (127 to over 140) beats per minute (BPM) than that of early house music. This subgenre was known as "hardcore" rave but from as early as 1991, some musical tracks made up of these high-tempo break beats, with heavy basslines and samples of older Jamaican music, were referred to as "jungle techno", a genre influenced by Jack Smooth and Basement Records, and later just "jungle", which became recognised as a separate musical genre popular at raves and on pirate radio in Britain.

Musical features[edit] Influences[edit] Tempo[edit] Dieselboy. Damian Higgins, better known by his stage name Dieselboy, is an American DJ, producer, remixer, founder of the Human Imprint music label (drum and bass) in 2002, and co-founder of its sublabel SubHuman : Human Imprint (dubstep, electro) 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.[1][2] In February 2012, Higgins co-founded Planet Human as the umbrella label for Human Imprint and SubHuman.[3][4] 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 (including January 26, 2013 Baltimore show) he began playing some all drum and bass sets again.[5] Biography[edit] Career[edit] DJ Dara.
