A new year beckons and so does the ninth release on Shadow Sanctuary.  This instalment sees label boss Dexter Kane drop a couple of original tracks combined with two well crafted remixes from Kindimmer.

The title track: Hit Rewind is an upbeat affair.  Rolling bass, organic percussion and a rambling vocal sample from an obscure Inspectah Deck interview proceed a more stripped back section where a host of different fills and licks skip effortlessly around the groove.  As it's name suggests, 303 'til Infinity is a somewhat of an ode to Roland's famous bass module, a healthy slice of acid house, also featuring more than it's fair share of 707, 808, and 909.

Originally hailing from Greece, Berlin based Kindimmer is certainly one to watch.  His unique brand of house and techno has enabled him to sign tracks to the likes of Poker Flat, 2020 Vision, Resopal Schallware and Local Talk.  In this case he has delivered two remixes both of which deliver a more percussive dimension to Hit Rewind. His trademark style of big kicks, retro chords and heavily swung percussion shines through on both versions, a perfect addition to the package.

 Shadow Sanctuary skipper Dexter Kane returns with, as the title suggests, an illogical conclusion. All creative projects need to evolve and progress to remain relevant, and to us it feels as if this release marks the end of the label's first chapter. This era of experimentation and discovery has been vital for our growth and, while we hope you've enjoyed the ride so far, we're extra excited for what the future brings.

Jansons (Viva / Lower East) and App (Kindisch / WetYourSelf) bring the fire on remix duty.

Dexter Kane & Tboy - Every Moment

After a somewhat productive break, Shadow Sanctuary boss Dexter Kane returns to the fold with a brand new 4 tracker. Boasting both a new direction and a new medium, SS0013 marks the start of a fresh chapter for the imprint. Set to be the first in a string of vinyl only offerings, this release sets a precedent not only in format, but also in style. There will be just 250 copies on this run, be sure not to sleep on it.

Perception Management (Vinyl Only - Out Now)

Leeds based beat machine Niko Maxen returns for his second outing on Shadow Sanctuary. Two indelible, groove led originals are on offer here, served up with remixes from man of the moment Michael James and label boss Dexter Kane. Having already stacked up releases on the likes of Hoarder, Fantastic Friends and Phörus, it's been a strong 2018 so far for the Pathway Traxx boss. 300 copies - vinyl only, get it while you can.

Support: Dyed Soundorom, Enzo Siragusa, Burnski, Seb Zito, Okain,Voigtmann, Rich NXT, Ben Rau, Ed Herbst, Ferro & more.

Alternate Fact 02 - Dexter Kane, Thoma Bulwer (Vinyl Only Out Now)

Lewis Jimenez met Shadow Sanctuary boss Dexter Kane in a London club a few years back and they've stayed in touch ever since. His latest offering takes a deeper, more minimal turn, making it a perfect fit for the label's 15th release. Dexter's upbeat interpretation of title track 'In the Wick' pairs retro house elements with rolling moog bass to round off the package.

Support: Seb Zito, East End Dubs, Burnski, Arapu, Ittetsu, Franck Roger, DJ Deep, Mancini, Dj Steaw, Roger Gerressen, Inland Knights, Chris Stussy, Pronk, James Dexter, The Willers Brothers and more.

DJ, producer, engineer, vinyl enthusiast, synth collector; there are many strings to Dexter's bow. Forged in the fires of the thriving London party scene, this latest endeavour from Ed Kane draws from many years' experience in the studio and behind the decks. Whilst being influenced by a wide range of genres, Dexter's music remains unique. Although you may not be able to pigeonhole him, you'll almost definitely be able to recognise his distinct sound. Often deep; sometimes dark; distinctly analogue; ever maintaining a groove lead, dance-floor aesthetic.

Dexter has signed tracks to the likes of Memoria, Get Physical, hedZup, Highgrade, Murmur and Fear of Flying, as well as being responsible for a solid stream of releases on his own label Shadow Sanctuary. A-list support has been frequent and gig requests have come from far afield. While his style lies rooted in London's clandestine basements and after-hours scene, Dexter is an astute and versatile DJ, capitalising on years of experience to read any manner of discerning dancefloor.

At the beginning of 2017 Dexter started Alternate facts alongside kindred spirit Thoma Bulwer. After throwing a string of illegal parties across The Capital, they now find themselves running regular events at the legendary The Lion and Lamb and managing a burgeoning vinyl only label.
