Diesler
Calamari Moon Suite
Fr. 4. Mai 2007
Diesler is a 20 year old producer from Lancashire who isn’t afraid to
let diversity do the talking. With a distinctive globe-trotting
production style which ranges from straight-up jazz and funk-influenced
beats to a more exotic breed of Latin-tinged dancefloor stompers,
Diesler’s musical output has been attracting a swarm of attention of
late. Having first come to the attention of many when he contributed a
track to Tru Thoughts ‘Shapes’ compilation series, this was swiftly
followed by his debut 12” EP ‘Ladies & Gentlemen, Start Your
Engines Please’. Creating a broad-minded melting pot of musical
cultures, genres, and sounds by flawlessly fusing Latin, Cuban, Jazz,
Funk, Soul and Beats, ‘Diggin’ It Somethin’ Rotten’ is certain to
ignite dancefloors the world over.
The album features the best of 30 tracks which Diesler has recorded and
sent to the Tru Thoughts HQ. ‘Sandcastles’ was the track that The Big
Chill chose to soundtrack the video they played on the main stage to
close their 10th Anniversary Festival in 2004. ‘Burnley Wallet’ &
‘Redux’ are already club anthems at the Tru Thoughts club night
phonic:hoop. ‘Heist Theme’ and ‘Calling All Cars’ further showcase
Diesler’s love of bass! The album also includes Diesler’s first ever
vocal production ‘High Time’ which alongside ‘Dark Water’ reveal that
his sound is not solely dancefloor orientated.
Having already received support from everyone from Mr Scruff and
Patrick Forge to Zane Lowe (BBC Radio 1), Diesler is definitely one
young producer to be keeping an eye on in 2005. Coupled with the
present demand for his remix work, it seems many labels and artists
feel the same. A firm favourite with clubbers and DJ’s alike, the album
is released on CD format with all tracks available for vinyl junkies
through three separate EP’s.
