DJ DIESEL has delivered his most expansive body of work to date with the release of M.D.E on Monstercat. Spanning nine tracks, the EP highlights a powerhouse lineup of collaborators including Virtual Riot, IVORY, SampliFire, LAYZ, and others, fusing styles across dubstep, trap, drum and bass, and hard techno. M.D.E not only marks a high point in DJ DIESEL’s discography, but also captures the collaborative spirit driving the current bass scene.
Among the standout tracks is “Animal,” which finds DJ DIESEL teaming up with SampliFire and IVORY for a ruthless tearout cut. It begins with a fierce vocal delivery from DJ DIESEL himself before descending into controlled chaos, complete with bone-rattling drops and aggressive rhythmic structure. The production balances technical precision with raw impact, making “Animal” one of the most intense offerings on the EP.
Another highlight is “Damage,” a collaboration with Virtual Riot that merges acoustic instrumentation and trap-leaning breaks before pivoting into a blistering drum and bass finale. The contrast between the guitar-led intro and the explosive drop adds complexity without sacrificing club appeal.
Meanwhile, “Run It,” another cut with IVORY, leans fully into DnB territory, anchored by metallic synths, propulsive percussion, and quick-fire vocal bars that ignite the tempo.
“Pay Respect,” “Throwin’ Bows,” and “BRING THE PAIN” continue this theme of genre fusion, bringing new textures to the fold while staying rooted in festival-ready chaos. Every track stands on its own, but together they form a tightly sequenced listening experience built for peak-time crowd reaction.
Speaking on the project, DJ DIESEL explained: “This project is bigger than just music. ‘M.D.E’ is a celebration of the culture, of the moshpit, of the bass community. Every artist on here brought the heat, and together we made something that hits hard and brings people together. That is what this scene is all about.”
Most Dominant Ever is more than a title; it reflects DJ DIESEL’s current position in the global bass music landscape. With major tour stops ahead in Europe and multiple Bass All-Stars shows on the calendar, the EP adds new fuel to a summer run already packed with high-stakes performances and peak crowd energy.

Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
