London based Dexta (Chris Royle) has been releasing music over the past three years on labels such as Dispatch Recordings, Flexout Audio, Hospital Records & None60 not forgetting a few features on Diffrent Music already. He has also put out collaborations with the likes of Arkaik, Hyroglifics, Mtwn & Mauoq and so on.

This debut artist EP for Dexta sees a variety of sounds and styles, made up with music that has been in production for the past couple of years along with fresh tracks that were nailed over the last few months and even this year. "Flaming0" (named while having a curry and beer with friends) is a great example of Dexta's desire to bend the mould a bit, off the grid rhythms, analog synths resampled and layered in with a tense break filled ending. "Secondlife" started in 2014, although sounding more like 4012, simple drum machine beats, acid baseline, sharp effects and rumbling bass, this is one for the head nodders! "Dissolute" a collaboration with Coma last year, sexy vocals, interesting tonal basses, that Hip Hop swing on the beats with a load of added goodies. The title track "SE4 (The Ends)" named after the postcode of Dexta's Lab, is a nod to the old school era (with a modern touch), dramatic intro, chunky breaks, large bass and loads of stop/start action.

[PULP | TAMAN]

Luka Šimić on documents, El Commando behind the counter. Luka comes from Split and started his fight with the mixer in 2011, cultivating a love for electronic music and a cellar called 'Club Kocka'. He won the Illectricity Nucomers competition in 2012, was a member of the now cult Split collective 'LoopJunkies', and a resident DJ of the Zagreb collective 'NO BALANCE'. He is one of the founders of the 'PULP' and 'TAMAN' series, which are currently being held in Split and Zagreb. The man from Split is a fanatic of broken rhythms in itself, which means that he carefully hears his ears leaking jungle and dubstep from techno / house / electro sets in all directions. His sets, fresh, colorful and characterful, you could hear in all major cities and festivals of our beautiful country, sharing the counter with many world faces of this industry.

can you play somethin with a beat?
