An Ode From One Beard To Another

Veridium’s signature is radical versatility and music that is mercurial and maverick. His genres are primarily Techno, Deep House, Progressive House and Downtempo. 

But above all else, Veridium loves to tell a story. 
“Each set should be a unique musical experience,” he says. 
"Expect to drop in deep at the beginning and fall out at the end with the sense that time has escaped you." 

This journey began at AfrikaBurn 2016 and since then Veridium has played on the biggest stages at AfrikaBurn. In 2019 earning a residency on The Spirit Train and playing alongside Bellville, Dandara, Vander and Offroad. 

An invitation to play in Nuremburg, Germany with NASTY in January 2019 was a brilliant opportunity to showcase his unique sound to an international audience. 

Now firmly established within the Cape Town underground electronic music scene and playing at well-established venues, parties and festivals. These include Wonderland, Make- Believe, and Goldswindler. With a residency for the last three summers at Grand Africa this has allowed for Veridium to hone his downtempo skills.

Inhabiting a melodic, timeless space between Deep House and Techno, Dexter Ford first made his mark in Summer 2012 when he was touted as "Breakthrough Producer of the Year" by Richie Hawtin, who used Dexter's second release (the deep, pulsing yet melodic track "Our Sun") to close sets at Space, Ibiza, Timewarp, Italy and Berlin's Watergate, with Marco Carola, Matador and Tale of Us also picking up the track. 

The following Summer, after a string of productions and remixes for UK and US labels (Unrivaled Music / Stripped Recordings / Deep / Drops), Dexter released his debut album on Endemic Digital. 

The 10 track LP "Till Before"  sits as comfortably on your iPod as it does on the decks with tracks such as the epic opener "Glass", the low-slung, moody "Born Deep" and the syncopated bounce of "Rosario" illustrating Dexter's range as a producer.

More recently, Dexter's remix work and production has attracted support from My Favourite Robot, Adam Beyer, Ida Engberg, BLOND:ISH and Audiofly. 

Not content with producing and DJing, Dexter also co-promotes the regular OptionOne parties around London, recently booking the likes of Craig Bratley, Eskimo Twins and Tom Budden.
