Human Imprint Recordings is an American drum and bass record label founded by Damian Higgins (aka DJ Dieselboy) in New York City in 2002. Human is a subsidiary of System Recordings and is mostly known for high energy releases in subgenres including techstep, hardstep and darkstep.

The label's album art encompasses conceptual themes based in science fiction and fantasy. Some of the graphics are created by Higgins himself.

To date, Human Imprint, which has gained a reputation as a leader in the North American drum and bass movement, has released 16 singles, six EP's, and six albums. American Human artists include Evol Intent, Hive, Gridlok, Kaos, Karl K, Jae Kennedy, Stratus, KC, Vector Burn, Ewun, Noah D and Demo. International producers include Technical Itch (UK), Decoder (UK), Fresh (UK), Bad Company UK, Skynet (UK), Counterstrike (South Africa), Concord Dawn (New Zealand), and The Upbeats (New Zealand).

In April 2006, Higgins released the first HUMAN IMPRINT compilation, a 2XCD set called "The HUMAN Resource," which debuted at #14 on the Billboard electronic album chart. Disc One Selected Works is a 12-song un-mixed selection including club anthems and VIP remixes from Bad Company UK, DJ Fresh, The Upbeats, Dieselboy + Kaos, Counterstrike and others. Disc Two Evol Intent Assemble the Monster features a continuous DJ-mix from one of the most-respected American drum and bass DJ/producer crews, Evol Intent, selected by Higgins to stitch together some of the best tracks of the HUMAN catalog, plus exclusive tracks and remixes from Gridlok, Infiltrata + Hochi, Vector Burn, Dieselboy + Technical Itch and others. The mix was composed on Ableton.
