“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” ~ Mark Twain

As we enter the last quarter of 2013, we bring you the 5th issue from Dexta's Lab mix-tape series.

" Here's the penultimate instalment of my mix-tape series for the year, it's gone too quick, loads have happened over the past 9 months and the future is set to be nothing buy busier. One of my turntables decided to pack in a few weeks back but luckily I've fixed it in time for the mix-tape. I've recorded a couple of guest-mixes, and interviews which are pending, so keep your eyes peeled for them. You can catch me on the forthcoming Freedom35 Podcast which is being recorded in a matter of days, and also I'm planning something funny for the "unlucky for some" GiraffeCast 13 with some of the moo crew as per! I've got a few gigs coming up over the next month or so, but get in touch with Lucie @ Empress if you want me to come play at your party, I've got a lot of really interesting music and look forward to sharing it with you all! 

PS. you may have seen/heard that Mauoq, the Kolectiv lads and I have had an EP signed to Dispatch Ltd which is coming early next year, cannot wait to show off them flavours! Until next time! Stay safe! "

Crypticz “Contact EP”
1. “Get Back”
2. “We A Dem”
2. “Shift (feat. Lakeway)” 
4. “Promise”

Cat No. GSTEP005
Bandcamp: 19th January
Officially: 26th January 2014

To kick off the new year, we’re adding to the GiraffeStep series with a release by SW England’s Crypticz, and to follow suite with DIFF005, we’re dropping it as an extended player. Four track’s built up over the past year compiled, mixed and mastered into the “Contact EP”.

‘Get Back’ sets the mood off sonically, with some almost dubstep groove thrown in along with Crypticz’s footwork influences. ‘We A Dem’ is the closest this EP gets to the dancefloor with it’s bass driven pulse groove and cheeky acapella chops. The third track is a collaboration, ‘Shift’ with Lakeway (who’s got some music lined up later on this year with the label) ­ shows off a seriously stripped back skeleton with moody bass, vocals and atmospherics. The EP is closed down with a lazy melodic and bassy number called ‘Promise’ (totally late night vibes on this one!).

Crypticz & Lakeway - Shift [GSTEP005]

The big 20… 5 years in… Giraffe adulthood is quickly creeping up on us, but Dexta & Sense are here to try make it a little more fun. Here’s just over an hour of mumbles, farts and groans about aliens, types of jam and famous heavy metal band references. We’ve noticed that SoundCloud is basically not up for letting mixes onto their cloud at the moment, so if you’re reading this, then welcome to the darknet!

Lakeway drop's his first release on Diffrent Music in two years after recently signing to the camp. "OXT EP" built up of music written during a particular time in his life. To sum up the record up in short, it's full of moody atmospheres, energetic bass lines, frantic drum patterns (and that's just the first track), basically imagine if grime crash landed at a Drum & Bass dance, then smacked you in the face! 

Play loud, go nuts, enjoy!
