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 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 Sweden based Omena Records; his DEXT Debut certainly doesn’t disappoint. Over the last year or so, he has been masterfully fusing driving house & techno percussion with 90’s jungle influences and his EP for us is, we think, his strongest work to date.

The thunderous “Deep Soul” opens things up with filtered amens, chopped-up vocals and Reece bass lines; the perfect take on the late 1993 UK sound, honed & updated with a driving techno twist for 2016.

“Universal” is a straight up 4x4 DEXT jacker, with raw house, UKG and moodier elements blending together for maximum effect.

Finally, “Circular” is the most “heads down” of the 3 originals - hypnotic synths and incessant drum patterns wind around each other to create a seriously classy, broken, techno track.

To round it all off we have a stunning rework of the title track from Endian (Non Plus, Birdie, Secretsundaze). Twisting up the original elements, this dark warehouse version has been crafted to perfection - if you liked Hodge’s remix for us, you’ll love this too!
