one sided vinyl, hand stamped

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.

matt bridgewater aka callahan first released on 4 seasons back in 2015 with ‘armshouse’ ep, since then he released an impressive offering on dext, featuring a hodge remix, as well as playing shows around the uk. the four track ep, features heavy breakdowns, percussion fuelled rhythms, as well as the club friendly ‘state of mind’ collaboration with uk legend roska. straight club fuelled, dark room business.

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.
