Following on from Bodyjack’s landmark ‘Nataraja’ EP this summer (DEXT’s 10th release), we welcome back our good friend Lo Shea to the label. As ever with DEXT releases, this one is full of off-kilter goodness, with the Sheffield-based producer returning to the label in particularly inspiring fashion.
Arriving just after the Hope Works-affiliated No Bounds Festival (bringing the likes of Daniel Avery, Volvox, Errorsmith, Machine Woman and Object Blue to Sheffield from 12-14th October), the double A-sided ‘Activation / Pressure’ EP is very much indicative of both the label – and the producer’s – burgeoning status in the electronic music scene.
Coming to us fresh off his recent outings on Rekids and Dusky’s 17 Steps, the EP is Lo Shea’s first for DEXT since the ‘Durga’ EP, an early standout from the DEXT catalog. We first heard ‘Activation’ when he dropped an early version at our Fabric takeover earlier this year. Suffice to say, it grabbed our attention immediately. What essentially starts off as a super sharp rhythm track ends up very differently. This is a DEXT track through and through…without a doubt!
Liam then delves into his drum & bass roots via ‘Pressure’, a different but no less enticing cut that merges rolling broken beats and dark rave synth work, all the while keeping the tempo right down – an approach that really adds to the track’s ubiquitous foreboding vibes.
