The DEXT Sessions are back tonight with fresh music from the likes of Special Request,96 Back, Om Unit, Yosh, Walton & Brother Nebula.
This month's special guest is DEXT artist https://soundcloud.com/bodyjack, who has been an integral part of the label since he remixed their second release, and has gone on to do 3 EPs for https://soundcloud.com/dext-recordings.

“Although I play loads in my sets, I’ve not actually done a mix of electro for a long time, so it was really fun to get on this. Oh, and it’s the first studio mix I’ve done on vinyl in years as well, so I’m super happy with how it turned out!” - https://soundcloud.com/bodyjack

DEXT Sessions 006 [Haze & Bodyjack]

Tracklist and full article: www.factmag.com/2015/06/08/fact-mix-499-bodyjack/

We’re one mix away from 500 – and it’s time to jack.

Chris Finke has been an important part of the UK techno scene since the early 2000s, releasing music from Mark Broom, DJ Urban, Victor Simonelli and more on his Flux Recordings label and co-running London’s Split raves with Ben Sims (as well as the Split Radio Show). As a producer, he’s steadily released singles and EPs of his own music, mostly on Flux but with diversions to labels like Mote-Evolver and Hidden Recordings. In short, he knows how to make people sweat.

In 2013, he dropped the Finke name to focus on a pair of aliases: Bodyjack and He/aT. As He/at, he’s self-released ripping techno records while also holding down a residency at crucial UK techno night Atomic Jam, but it’s been his Bodyjack work that has been most rewarding. As well as setting up a small ring of Bodyjack-related labels, he’s released music on Hypercolour, Unknown to the Unknown, Leftroom and Ultramajic – all labels that share Bodyjack’s love of house and techno music that’s educated and authoritative but totally unpretentious.

That’s also the case with his FACT mix. It draws from the gods (Johnson, Deeon, Tyrell, Falcon and, at one point, Jeremy Sylvester and Mike Millrain’s G.O.D. alias – see what we did there) and the best of the current crop (Peverelist, Kowton, DJ Haus), and is very clearly the work of someone who’s bought dance records for years, but it’s never less than a shitload of fun, with martial snares, organ riffs and instructions to work it all over the place. Bodyjack’s latest release, the self-released Throwdown EP, is out now.

TRACKLIST & FEATURE

Bodyjack - FACT Mix [June 2015]

While Going through some hardrives DEXT label boss HAZE has has unearthed an old jungle mix he recorded around 12 years ago ... the mix was made in the early hours of the morning at his flat in homerton after attending a Metalheadz event at herbal in shorditch london early 2006 , its mostly 93 - 94 stuff all vinyl records he loves and done off the cuff Hope you enjoy !

HAZE (DEXT RECS ) Vinyl 93 - 94 Jungle Mix - Recorded Winter 2006

The goddess Hera, determined to make trouble for Hercules, made him lose his mind. In a confused and angry state, he killed his own wife and children. When he awakened from his temporary insanity, Hercules was a broken man; he prayed to the god Apollo for guidance, and the god's oracle told him he would have to serve Eurystheus, the king of Tiryns and Mycenae, for twelve years, in punishment. As part of his sentence, Hercules had to perform twelve Labours, feats so difficult that they seemed impossible, and the perfect embodiment of pathos; the experience of virtuous struggle and suffering which would lead to immortality.

Labour 1: The Nemean Lion
The first labour set to Hercules by Eurystheus was the slaying of the Nemean Lion, a beast with claws of bronze and impenetrable skin that terrorised the land on the border of Nemea and Mycenae, and who had killed all that had set out to kill it. Discovering that his arrows were useless against the beast, Hercules would use his club to force the Nemean Lion back into his own cave, and in the confined space, he would strangle the monster. Hercules would return to Tiryns with the skin of the Nemean Lion worn over his shoulders, resulting in a sight that caused Eurystheus to hide himself away inside a large jar, and Hercules was forbidden to enter the city again.

Labour II: The Lernaean Hydra
Having survived against the Nemean Lion, Hercules was dispatched to an even more deadly monster: the Lernaean Hydra - a water monster who guarded one of the entrances to the Underworld. Raised by Hera specifically to kill Hercules, the Lernaean Hydra had multiple heads, but every time one was severed, two would grow in its place. Guided by Athena, and helped by Iolaus, Hercules would eventually overcome the Lernaean Hydra, by preventing new heads from growing, by cauterising the open wounds. The help given by Iolaus though, would see King Eurystheus discount this Labour. The blood of the Lernaean Hydra would subsequently be used by Hercules, for the hero dipped his arrows into the poisonous blood.

Bodyjack w/ Mark Broom - 27-Jun-20

READ MORE –– https://www.dummymag.com/new-music/premiere-bodyjack-serves-a-slice-of-peak-time-warehouse-techno-with-enfant-terrible/

Chris Finke aka Bodyjack is a proper veteran - a DJ/producer with a long involvement in DMC Championships, he's someone who has taken that knowledge of what works in a club to his own productions. The latest example of this is 'Enfant Terrible', a cut primed for huge warehouse settings or shadowy basements. It's taken from his forthcoming 'Measure Twice, Cut Once' EP, arriving on house and techno-focused FINA sister label FINA WHITE, dedicated to the release of pure and unadulterated peak-time bangers. Begging for huge system play, you can hear 'Enfant Terrible' now.

Measure Twice, Cut Once EP

Premiere: Bodyjack - 'Enfant Terrible'

House and techno focussed FINA sister label FINA WHITE comes through with more direct dance floor grooves from Bodyjack, aka Chris Finke. The veteran artist serves up two killer tracks, one dub and four locked grooves that provide serious heat for DJs and dancers.

Before now, former DMC competitor Finke has established himself with his Bodytrax label in association with the Clone.nl crew, standout mixes for Radio 1 etc and EPs on the likes of UTTU, Hypercolour and DEXT, all while being a famous former resident of titanic techno party Atomic Jam and playing the world's finest clubs for years.

Arresting opener 'Measure Twice, Cut Once' is a big, buoyant techno monster with warped acid lines and raves vocal stabs all adding fuel to the fire. The locked grooves serve up scintillating breakbeats that are hugely powerful and ripe for abuse in the club, and then 'Enfant Terrible' is a dark and eerie warehouse monster. The bass is loud, the kicks rock solid and an echoing female vocal lost in the midst of it all draws you in deeper. Closing things out, the dub versions strip things back to gritty chords and heavy, well-swung kicks that make you march.

This is high class, high functioning techno from one of the finest in the game.

Bodyjack w/ Truncate "Rhythm Tracks Special" Threads Radio (Aug 20)

Bodyjack returns to Threads for another special showcase: this time it's one of his specialist subjects 91-93 Rave!. A proper throwdown taking in everything from Belgian techno to UK rave, through to early jungle and darkside. He's digging deep into the vaults for this one, so get locked and loaded!

Bodyjack "Rave Special" Threads Radio (Nov 20)

Bodyjack pulls off a Christmas Cracker of a solo show this month: a 2 hour Detroit techno special featuring stellar tracks from Underground Resistance, Robert Hood, Jeff Mills, Kenny Larkin, Carl Craig, The Martian/Red Planet, Drexciya and E Dancer alongside a whole host of lesser known gems and rarities. Essential listening for the Festive Season!

Bodyjack's "Christmas In Detroit"  - Threads Radio (Dec 20)

Underground Resistance is probably the most important Detroit record label since Motown: their sound and attitude emerged in the early '90s as the most uncompromising one from the Motorcity, it was pivotal in shaping US and European Techno, started the resurgence of 90's Electro, but most of all indelebly marked the consciousness of thousands of people around the world who share their messages of resistance and hope.
And last but not least, they did so many amazing records!

So, 30 years has passed since UR-001 came out in 1990.
Since UR and 'Mad' Mike Banks were so influential for me, not just sonically but mostly on the attitude side of things, I decided to go thru all my 12"s and make a retrospective tribute mix to celebrate this anniversary.

At first I wanted to pick 30 tracks only and keep it compact but so many great ones were left out.. so I just started and at the end I used 60+ tracks! Almost all the classics are there, plus a fair share of lesser known tunes which really shine as well in my opinion. All from the UR catalogue only. No Z-tracks unfortunately :)

I really hope to have done justice to their sound, and I hope as well that the listeners will enjoy the ride, have the chance to discover some amazing music, and maybe feel the energy and pride and love that Mike Banks and the UR crew put into the music and pressed into the grooves.

In memory of James Stinson, Ron Murphy, Aaron-Carl Ragland

1990-2020: 30 Years Of Underground Resistance - Tribute Mix

Over the last few years, Bodyjack (aka Chris Finke) has been confidently carving a path very much his own through the stormy and unpredictable waters of electronic music, and refreshingly doing it on his terms. 

From the outset, his early productions on Hypercolour UTTU and Ultramajic showed incredible depth and dance floor sensibilities, frequently mastering that difficult line between genres that producers seek, but often fall short of (and often sounding contrived when trying). His vinyl-only label series “Bodytrax” (which he proudly runs with the Clone.nl crew in Holland) is an ongoing outlet for these productions; one that ebbs and flows through his passion for creating what he feels like organically and not what’s being hyped at the time. Drawing on his years of experience as a DJ and not being one to settle simply for “getting the job done”, his output is renowned for being incredibly effective and standing out in the sets of DJs the world over, with his music consistently featured on Radio 1 shows and essential mixes. In 2016, he dropped his critically “Cobra Effect EP” on DEXT which was championed by the likes of Black Madonna and Jackmaster, which led to an invitation by legendary pioneers Leftfield to remix "Song Of Life" on their historic 22 Year Anniversary re-release of “Leftism” in 2017. He also explored collaborations including “Hotshot” with long-time supporter Paul Woolford aka Special Request, and his new “Duel Series” which kicked off in late 2019 with Berlin legend Fiedel.

On the performance side, his early days saw him as a DMC DJ Championship competitor, and then cutting his teeth worldwide as a techno DJ (including a residency at the UK's largest and most respected parties “Atomic Jam” in Birmingham). His lifelong obsession with seeking out and collecting music has also paid off in spades in the form of his vast record collection, which he explores with mixes and shows he has produced for the likes of Radio 1, FACT, Mixmag, DJ Mag, and Rinse FM. Armed with these experiences and credentials, he is known as a technically skilled and incredibly intuitive DJ, taking risks where they count and never playing the same set twice. Tapping into his love affair with music and working the floor, he prides himself in being able to play pretty much anywhere, be it techno, electro & EBM in the main rooms of Berghain or Fabric, jacking Chicago and acid house alongside the originators in the “Dancemania Mixmag Lab”, or electronica & beyond supporting Leftfield on their Leftism 22 UK arena UK arena tour in 2017.
