"Dieselboy returns to my CD player after the long pause between "System Upgrade" and this new, most kickass "6ixth Session". It was worth the wait, ladies and gentlemen. I must say, nothing can top this album. Of course, I may eat those words come a new Dieselboy album, but for now, I bask in the glory of these two killer CDs. The mix CD (disc 1) makes me want to get up and dance. It's like a live set right in my living room. The EP with 3 original mixes and 2 remixes (the remixes appear on the 1st disc) is so phat it has my walls shaking. Check out the orig. mixes of Render & The Desent. I played them for a friend of mine who is a cybertrance head and even she agreed that this was the best music she'd ever heard come out of a dnb DJ's decks. If you have any sense whatsoever, buy this album. If I could give more than the maximum reccomendation I would."
Tech-step in it's purest, hardest, 193 bpm form.

"Dieselboy, America's Number One Drum n Bass DJ shows why he earned the coveted title. The Pittsburg area native does it again by bringing the techstep genre that he helped popularize into the harder, faster, adrenaline charged release "The 6ixth Session". Pulling a little from each of his last compilations: the bass from "A Soldiers Story", the technical themes from "System Upgrade" to the flawless mixing of 97 Octane. It's a relentless, 193 beat per minute tour into the driving world of techstep--and it never lets up. The lengthy intro trances you out and before you know it Roc Data's "Messiah" hits you in the face like a brick. The album continues with rough hard clean beats. Besides a mixing error with lining up the high-hat's in the transition from track six to track seven (which was quickly fixed) the mixing was flawless. If you're a drum n bass fan or like adrenaline infused music, you need this definitive mix of tech-step. Perfect driving music that intoxicates you with the desire to stop whatever your doing to dance, this CD is the best twenty bucks you'll ever spend. Go. Buy. Now. I'm now waiting til Dieselboy tops himself on his Se7enth Session. Peace, Love, Dance and Jesus."
Dieselboy is rocking more than ever!

"Dieselboy shows why he is the most requested Drum n bass DJ in America, and soon (I Hope) the world over. The '6ixth Session' is an impressive package and certainly by far his best yet. On the whole this release blows the competition away, with an incredible DJ mix on CD one which features a host of hard to find party moving dnb stormers, like J. Majik's 'Solarize', 'Firewire' by Andy C & Shimon and Technical Itch's amazing 'Heavy Metal' just to name a few. CD 2 is a Dieselboy 5 track EP of original material which brings to CD for the first time his singles 'Render' 'The Descent' and the new chart topper 'Invid' as well as exclusive remixes of 'Invid' and 'The Descent'.The packaging is beautifully designed and features Dieselboy rendered as a cyborg!Buy it, steal it, just get it!"
What a ride!

"Dieselboy offers a well-mixed set of Jungle. Ever wonder how it would be to go to a club and listen to a good set of Jungle? Buy this CD and there you go! Initialize is like a short trip through a spaceship. After examining the craft, checking that everything is a go, get ready for Messiah! Messiah plays little brother to Heavy Metal: an extremely intense experience! Dieselboy lowers the intensity factor in Nanobugs and gets the groove back on in Bios Fear. The Jungle groove continues to mid highs and lows through to the middle of Pusher. After the first minute of Pusher, the ship's velocity increases. The final massive bass experience occurs in Dominion and blends into the initial, sensual, vocalization of Solarize. The end of Solarize doesn't drop you off; instead, your mind is left traveling a long time after the song fades. CD 2 has excellent versions of Dieselboy's original work as well as two additional mixes of those works at the end. "6ixth Session" is a definite must have for anyone looking for today's (2001) Jungle."
Pure deiselboy

"If you've managed to read any of my other reviews then you already know how adament i am about drum and bass. Picking a favorite can always be difficult, but this mix has once again reassured my first inclination that no one can drop beats like deiselboy. The cd starts off with the usual mechanical intro, which happens to be a little long for my taste, nevertheless cool. From the first actual track and on,you instantly become aware that deiselboy is getting ready to lay down a production set that lays waste to all in the genre. He's got the tempo cracked way up making for a fast-paced, speed induced album that won't let up until either you give up or the cd player gives up for you. The rolling bass lines tend to remind me of A Soldier's Story(another unbelievable album) and the rough descending highs allude to System Upgrade, making for a mix that i can only describe as brutal. This whole album is everything you could ever expect from Deiselboy and then some. Favorite tracks for me included tracks 2,3,5,7, and 10. my only complaint about this album...i think it tends to run out of gas at the end (except the last song) due to deiselboy expending the best tracks toward the first half of the cd. All in all, a no brainer...a MUST BUY for any enthusiasts. For any true d'n'b fan, you should've already had this cd worn out."
