Guest Profile - Diesler (Tru Thoughts)
Diesler’s first release was Cotton Wool, part of Tru Thoughts Shapes One compilation: despite being written when he was only 20, the song still found its way onto Radio 1, a massive achievement for a debut track.
This success was followed with the Ladies and Gentlemen Get Your Engines Ready EP in June 2004; a mixture of smooth, laid-back vibes and up tempo beats, from jazz and funk to Latin rhythms, it showcased Dieslers globe-trotting sound, and magpie-like ear for the best samples, to devastating effect. He followed that up with his debut album & double vinyl EP releases Diggin It Somethin Rotten in April 2005 and a calendar year laster with Keepie Uppies, both of which are on the Tru Thoughts label.
Aside from his own work Diesler has been remixing all over the place for labels including Ninja Tune (UK), Jugglin (Sweden), Hi Top (Spain), Schema (Italy), Tru Thoughts (UK), Catskills (UK) & Freestyle (UK). Away from the studio Diesler has been putting the miles of late making DJ appearances at Festivals both in the UK & Europe, UK super clubs Chibuku Shake Shake in Liverpool & The End in London and many respected club nights including Phonic Hoop (RIP), Nice Up! & Jelly Jazz.
