About Diesler
Diesler | DJ, Producer & Label Head
Based in Manchester, Diesler is a prolific UK DJ, producer, and label manager known for his signature “globe-trotting” sound—a devastatingly effective blend of smooth, laid-back vibes, up-tempo beats, jazz, funk, and Latin rhythms.
Spanning over two decades, Diesler’s career kicked off at just 20 years old when his debut track “Cotton Wool” landed on BBC Radio 1 via the legendary Tru Thoughts imprint. Since that explosive debut, he has released six acclaimed studio albums—including Diggin’ It Somethin’ Rotten and Keepie Uppies (Tru Thoughts), The Rhythm Station (Freestyle Records), Tie Breakers (Social Beats), Sounds Familiar, and his latest LP, Off The Beaten Track (A Little Something Recordings).
In the Studio & On the Faders
A master collaborator and “magpie-like” crate digger, Diesler’s production and remix catalog reads like a wishlist of underground music royalty.
Remixes: Ninja Tune, Raw Fusion, Schema, Record Kicks, and Sunday Best.
Production & Executive Production: Key works for soul-drenched acts like Laura Vane & The Vipertones, Kinny, Double Yellow, and Hannah Williams & The Tastemakers (Hill Of Feathers).
Side Projects: The electronic moniker Monster Sneaker (with Azaxx) and the 8-piece live outfit, the Diesler Live Experience.
Behind the Labels & On the Airwaves
Diesler’s influence extends far beyond his own music. He has steered the ship as a label manager for London’s Here & Now Recordings and is the co-founder of the vinyl-centric imprint Buried Treasure. Today, he channels his deep musical knowledge into running his own imprint, A Little Something Recordings, which also birthed his globally syndicated A Little Something Radio podcast.
His taste-making has earned him regular features on the BBC 6Music Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show, alongside high-profile TV sync placements on HBO, Netflix, and the BBC.
From the Clubs to the Festivals
Whether performing live or behind the decks, Diesler has put in serious mileage across the UK, Europe, Japan, and Dubai. From legendary venues like The End (London) and The Mojo Club (Hamburg) to heavy-hitting festival slots, his DJ sets are masterclasses in rhythm.
A regular at legendary Manchester nights including Friends and Family, The Beat Route and You Dig?, you can catch him currently as part of the DJ rotation for Funkademia and New Century Sounds at the iconic New Century Kitchen in Manchester.
