following on from the last dext limited release by otik & dead mans chest we’re kicking off 2019 in fine style with another limited 10” vinyl cut with the same ethos as the previous release’s , 1 rave banger with a killer remix on the flipside. this time we have invited glasgow s party starter and long-time label supporter nightwave to join the crew and it seems like she has been here all along. psychic tonic is exactly what we are all about rolling breakbeats and thunderous kick drums and is the perfect addition to the dext ltd series. and if that s not enough, another of our favourites jerome hill (super rhythm trax) comes along for the ride, and flips it totally on its head on the remix

dext recordings has reached it’s landmark 10th release, and we now enter our next phase with this very special 2 track ep from a vital part of our label: bodyjack. aside from his collaboration with special request at the end of last year, this is chris’s first new music under his bodyjack alias since the summer of 2016 (his “cobra effect ep” for us). his time away has helped him refocus, and its clearly paid off “nataraja” (hindu for “lord of the dance”) is one of those tracks we can’t actually describe, but it’sbodyjack on rare form. his signature quirky percussion & synthwork is stripped down more than on his previous work, but this is one works in so many situations, we can’t wait to hear what you think. on the flip, “tandava” (the name given to the dance of nataraja!), is a peak-time detroit bass style workout with booming drops and razor sharp edits aimed right at the floor.

picking up the gauntlet from dextltd001 by bodyjack & special request the 2nd release on the dext limited series comes from one of dext’s staple artists otik , backed with a blistering jungle remix from dead man’s chest essential stuff for all bass heads !

with the 10th release milestone on the horizon for dext recordings, a new ltd 10inch vinyl sub-label kicks off with 2 heavyweights at the helm. special request (aka paul woolford) and bodyjack are 2 artists who completely embody the label s ethos, and they each provide something very special for the first instalment of the series. say no more!

the year 2016 cemented dext s position in the boxes of discernible djs around the globe, by putting out a string of material from the likes of hodge, bodyjack, mella dee, endian, lo shea and callahan. we kick off 2017 with a bang with a killer 12inch from the fast rising otik. hailing from bristol by way of london, he has steadily been building an artillery of heavy club hitters on labels including 17 steps, push & run, infinite machine, and durkle disco, plus remixes for the likes of dusky, rosie lowe and pixelord, it s clear to see his ascension is moving at a strong pace and we are proud to be able to drop this for you we won t say much about this ep other than it fuses everything we love here at dext: hard hitting funky drum programming, super heavy sub basses and shades of rave, house and techno. backed with two remixes one from talented newcomer erosion flow who has released on martyn s 3024 label in 2016 and another mix from uk artists who are synonymous with writing club bangers mak & pasteman.

after a refreshing and vibey summer of sun, beats & parties, dext hq is firing up for our next release which is set to drop this autumn it is an absolute pleasure to welcome back one of our stable artists, callahan, for the follow up to his well-received dext debut don t need. callous ep shows the same rawness and intensity of his earlier work but with a more polished and refined production sound, focusing on a few key elements that are executed to perfection. right from the off, the title track callous draws you in with its haunting and somewhat dystopian synth line that rides along the track s jagged percussion. the result is the kind of danceable groove that has become the calling card of the more exciting techno music to come out of the uk in recent years.

firstly, a huge thanks to everyone for supporting us so far - 2016 has seen the dext label continuing to go from strength to strength, with our callahan and mella dee ep s backed with remixes from hodge and endian which have been been super well received. now for the third ep of the year from our resident comedian bodyjack. bodyjack has been an integral part of dext since he remixed dubspeeka on our 2nd release and headlined our label takeover of privilege in ibiza last summer. we are very excited about his return to the label with this 3-tracker (and our first full solo artist ep!), and we think you re going to dig this... the title track cobra effect is one of those tracks you aren t going forget in a hurry. intense and brooding, we are hard-pushed to categorise this, but layers of sinister bass coupled with dark, driving snares and eerie synth work culminate masterfully, making this the perfect dext track. hydra effect lifts the vibe with a straight up peak-time house jam with a sting in the tail. a raw-but-infectious bassline winds along under bodyjack s signature killer drum programming, before blasting off with something you aren t going to expect. rounding the ep off is slowine effect: a proper dancehall workout (reminiscent of bodyjack s earlier work) and a real cross-genre party starter. the most upbeat of the 3 tracks, this again takes all the elements of what we love about the music from the past and cleverly works them into something special for the rave. and that s not all for bodyjack on dext this year - he will be back with a one-off ltd record called -hot shot-, backed with a very special remixer...but more on that soon!

after kicking off 2016 with the massive don t need ep from callahan featuring that remix from man of-the-moment hodge, dext is back with another banger of an ep from fast rising uk producer mella dee. the man from doncaster, uk has been creating a name for himself on the scene of late with releases on redlight s lobster boy and shy fx s digital soundboy imprint, and his dext debut certainly doesn t disappoint. over the last year or so, he has been masterfully fusing 90 s jungle influences with driving house & techno percussion and his ep for us is, we think, his strongest work to date.

its been a long hot summer for dext a string of quality releases and remixes from the likes of alden tyrell, bodyjack, the zenker brothers, lo shea and oli furness plus a label showcase at privilege in ibiza. only 4 releases in, the label has fast established itself as a standout player in the game.

sheffields techno spearhead lo shea returns for his second release in 2015, served with a zenker brothers remix out on dext recordings.

london s dext recordings continue to strengthen their catalogue adding to originals and remixes from dubspeeka & visionz, komon & appleblim and bodyjack with their latest offering from the manchester based oli furness backed up by clone mainstay alden tyrell. this, the third release up on dext carries the same raw brawn as its predecessors and is a rattling meld of jungle, uk techno and house.
