DJ Dextrous

about

Taken from http://www.myspace.com/midifusion: Dextrous has been producing and DJing for well over a decade. Starting his career in the late ‘80s as Dextrous, he cut his teeth making hardcore / jungle as it was then known. His first release was on Shut Up and Dance Records sister label Ruff Quality Recordings with a track entitled ‘Ruffneck Bizznizz’ back in 1992. From there he started his own label King of the Jungle Records in 1993, where he enjoyed much success with his then partner Rude Boy Keith, flying around the globe DJing & PA’ing. His DJing has taken him to countries such as: Austria, Germany, Canada, America, Holland, Latvia, Belgium, Estonia, Ireland and Italy to name but a few, as well as many locations in his native UK. As King of the Jungle was already establishing a particular sound, Dextrous decided to start another label where he could concentrate on his own projects. This was the birth of Subliminal Records, (which in December 1994 became Subversive Recordings due to an imprint called Subliminal already being in existence). By late 1994, Dextrous hooked up with 2 other guys, Paul Brown and Jon Stewart (who then went by the names of Phaze 3 and Klass A respectively) whom he had met whilst DJing on the London pirate station Kool FM. They all shared the same artistic ideas and frustrations with the way the scene appeared to overlook a more musical approach in drum & bass production. Consequently, Dextrous decided to start State of the Art Recordings, as a
