the human resource

by

Justin Kleinfeld ~ New York, NY - Step into Dieselboy’s laboratory, April 4, 2006, as he builds the beast known as THE HUMAN RESOURCE – a 2xCD. Disc One “SELECTED WORKS,” is the first CD compilation from Dieselboy’s mighty drum & bass label, HUMAN. This 12-song sonic monster includes club anthems and VIP remixes from )EIB(, DJ Fresh, The Upbeats, Dieselboy + Kaos and more. Disc Two “EVOL INTENT ASSEMBLE THE MONSTER” features a continuous DJ mix from one of America’s top d’n’b DJ/producer crews, Evol Intent, hand-picked by Dieselboy to stitch together some of the best of the HUMAN catalog, plus exclusive tracks and remixes from Gridlok, Infiltrata + Hochi, Vector Burn, Dieselboy + Technical Itch and others.

A part of the stateside electronic movement from the very beginning, Dieselboy is hailed as one of the Founding Fathers of American drum ‘n’ bass. His passions for the music and his rigorous touring and production schedules have earned him a slot in that upper pantheon of DJs able to perform to enthusiastic audiences the world over. Dieselboy is consistently rated as one of America’s Favorite DJs in the annual BPM Magazine reader’s poll, and received a nomination for Best Breakthrough DJ at the 2003 American Dancestar Awards. Dieselboy’s most recent mix CD, 2004’s The Dungeonmaster’s Guide, received critical acclaim for challenging and breaking down the barriers between drum ‘n’ bass, techno, house, trance/progressive. Approaching some of the most notable progressive artists in the world - including BT, Sasha, and Tiesto, as well as techno prodigy and Philly compatriot Josh Wink - Dieselboy embarked on a mission to create something unique by having these artists’ tunes remixed by a slew of the largest names and hottest up-and-coming drum ‘n’ bass producers.

Founded in early 2002, the primary design behind Dieselboy’s label, HUMAN Imprint, has been explicit: first, to provide an outlet for the release of Dieselboy’s material, second, to promote domestic drum and bass, and finally, to convey Dieselboy’s distinct vision, concept and aesthetic. At HUMAN Imprint, output is never rushed; everything proceeds organically – from Dieselboy’s venerable Project HUMAN 2xCD, through the numerous vinyl releases, to the ambitious Dungeonmaster’s Guide 2xCD, the maxim is always ‘Excellence First.’ The 2xCD HUMAN RESOURCE is nothing less than a comprehensive anthology of HUMAN Imprint’s finest moments to date and blueprint for the future. This particular undertaking has literally been years in the making. As a unique addition to the CD1 unmixed label compilation, the fine gentlemen of Evol Intent have been hard at work in their laboratory stitching together various bits and pieces from HUMAN Imprint’s varied catalogue for the accompanying DJ-mixed CD2. The end result is monstrous…

Atlanta’s Evol Intent are among the greatest purveyors of the incendiary, modern jungle sound. Operating as a three-piece power troupe (comprised of Knick, Gigantor and the Enemy), they have produced some of the most ephemeral and progressive drum ‘n' bass to date. Birthed out of the hardcore-punk culture, the trio developed a unique method for wrecking sound systems. The Evol Intent approach is unmistakable - It utilizes incredibly dynamic drum mechanics, razor sharp edits, sawtooth synths and an element of discord resonant of their punk youth. In a very short period of time the group has amassed a substantial discography while recording for their own Evol Intent label as well as numerous prestigious imprints such as Renegade Hardware, Outbreak and Human.

running through color

A couple of folks from our crew participated in a run out at a local elementary school.  The entire schools showed for this one, lined up and ready to be splashed with some colored powder or another. The more they ran the more colorful they became.  Beats all around set a festive tone for everyone. Those of us participating chilled on the playground after a few laps, then joined back in for another lap or two to close out the day.    Free drinks and snacks refreshed those otherwise banned from enjoying the ice cream truck.

heptalogy honors eclipse

A random encounter found us in downtown Little Rock, anticipating a performance of Holst's "The Planets" by the  Arkansas Symphony Orchestra .  The much-anticipated event included a vocal cameo from the University of Arkansas - Little Rock Women's Choir.  An evening of colorful sound began with "Night Ferry" by Anna Clyne , exploring the extremes of manic depression.   The chaotic range of emotional intensities seemed to leave the audience in a state of bewildered fascination. After an intermission wide enough to refresh mind and body, "The Planets" by Gustav Holst exploded in the mind's eye next.  This particular space heptalogy is likely one of the most recognizable symphonies, enjoyed through a variety of inspirations like the score from Star Wars.  The choir entered near the end, perhaps at Neptune, blending in imperceptibly with the violins and their accompaniment.   Their voices appeared as if by magic from behind the sc

  An afternoon focused on technology down at J. Rieger & Co. broke up the week nicely, offering a unique learning experience from Pomerol Partners.  Lunch and presentations associated with machine learning and data stack modernization were followed by a discussion around large language models with a few Kansas City IT leaders.   Immediately following that, Abstract Technologies talked about LATAM opportunities through nearshoring staffing services, followed by Black Khaki Brand Communicators discussing maintenance of organization cultural wellness.  Topping things off like a cherry on top, we learned of a new podcast worth listening in on, entitled " Drinks and Data ," hosted by KC technology leaders Kanon Cozad and Shawn Helwig.
