raw acidic house music

6th bodytrax release, floor rocker!!!

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.

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!

bodytrax drops it s second ep of 2016 with another essential 3-tracker from bodyjack. laugh it up opens things up and we are in vintage bodyjack territory from the outset. rough (and we mean rough!) beats and percussion, vocal hook and a metallic riff combined with possibly his ugliest bass line to date to make this an essential addition the bag/crate of any house dj. slow clap strips things right down to just drums and bass taking the track into even more raw areas. warehouse vibes! the title track i m here all week on the flip is one of those simple but infectious house tracks that you re going to remember after a night out. once again, our man s synth n bass work duck around those sharply programmed beats he s know for to round off the ep with a bang.

bodyjack returns to his bodytrax label with another 3 outstanding bodytrax. is he always like this? is an infectious groove-based techno workout which has been tried and tested by a select few djs over the last few months. kamala’s revenge is a hypnotic tribal roller with darkside vocals, off-kilter rhythms and & tripped out fx. one for the heads down crew. last but not least, the uptempo house jacker disrespect combines a killer bassline and bodyjack’s now signature razor sharp beats ’n’ stabs to round off the ep. oh, and there are 4 locked grooves on the 12- release for the heads. don’t sleep on this one!

the thirteenth release maybe unlucky for some, but not here. with label head oli furness delivering the weather underground ep featuring a shudderingly good bodyjack remix. music is love records make their own luck as always. comprising of the standard format from music is love with includes 3 tasty originals paired with a killer remix from bodyjack. the crew deliver just that.

banging chicago inspired house

new label bodytrax with three cuts from bodyjack (chris finke). ranging from the dark subbass heavy stomper on the a-side to wonky jack workouts on the flip. great no-nonsense tracks as follow-up to his first outings on hypercolour and the bodyjack ep.

bodyjack - a rough-ass bassline track with classic dance mania & relief style beats - it was originally passed onto five djs only: jackmaster, paul woolford, dave clarke, l-vis1990 & rolando all caned it. dancefloor reactions proving the track was a big underground joint. flip over for >i wanna be<: a twisted garage carnival workout. huxley dropped this immediately at we love at space in ibiza and it took off from there, and both tracks have been going off even having repeated plays on radio 1 and rinse fm.

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 !

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.

jerome hill (super rhythm trax / dont) dons his techno hat once again for an outing on fresh new label * swords* and opens up with * the creeper*, a brooding ear worm of a banger that skulks around unhinged as fm synthesis drills a hole in your eardrums with solid and moreish bass keeping things very heavy indeed. on the flip we have * drum war* which is just that, sharp snare rolls puncture a heaving carcass of crunchy kicks and bass with tension riding high. also included is a bonus drumapella for djs to utilise when extra snares are needed!! lastly, the original mix of * plastic jam* gets a deserved release after a more stripped back drum heavy mix appeared on the excellent power vacuum label last year. the original mix sees a happy melding of broken beat techno with old skool 1992 hardcore. early dj support from: tiga, richy ahmed, bodyjack, teed, mano le tough, ford foster, pangaea, g-23, addison groove, dan curtin, dop, hrdvsion, franklin de costa/mudkid, ben sims, paco osuna, len faki, serge, iron blu, dense & pika, perc, dj haus.

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!

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.

the first liaison of those two guys might be entitled as a generation clash. young gun kitt bang became a famous munich resident dj in the past 10 years for instance at the famous zombocombo freaktheatre. the old dog enne spins and produces records since almost 30 years. he created and remixed tacks for labels like: compost, permanent vacation, nang, tirk, just to name a few. the miraculous - funky - weird - dance music on this 12inch is the result of plenty hours studio sessions by using minimoog, microkorg & similar analog devices, furthermore live guitar of guest musician simon i.t.c. with this 3 track 12 inch they tried to go a step beyond of the actual nu disco glut. to make it round we deliver a remix by migumatix (courtesy of freaktown records) a munich based shootingstar too.
