BEXTAWhen you look at the list of achievements of Australia’s No1 female dj and possibly the most successful hard dance producer in the countries history, you wonder how she has done it all. And when you ask Bexta that question, this quietly spoken talent admits she feels she hasn’t even started. Which makes it all the more cool.
Bexta has had 8 single releases to date, one of which was a 5 star international anthem (quoted by Radio One, BBC London, and DJ Mag UK), called One for the Road. She’s release one EP - the Skirmish LIVE Ep, which entered the ARIA singles charts in 1999, and an album, Conversations with ones and zeroes. The album reached number 8 on the ARIA independent album charts, which was released on her own label in Australia. Who has ever heard of a hard dance music producer in this country achieving all of that?
On top of her own releases, Bexta began the DJ compilation series, Mixology, in 2000, and we have just hit number 9 in the series. Called Sunrise/Sunset, musically this is a first for Bex, as she explores not only the hard tech trance we know and love her for, but also electro house, breaks and some lighter trance.
As well as the release of M9, BeXta has embarked on exposing new talent into the industry, with the development of her label, now called Mixology Digital Records. This will feature new artists, as well as her own material, that will also be remixed by internationals and also herself. The label will feature collaborations BeXta has done with international artists, including Public Domain, Dave Joy and Vandertraxx. MDR will be entering the online download domain, at www.mixologydigitalrecords.com . But vinyl junkies rest assured there is a vinyl release to launch the label, which will be available internationally, and will feature the international collabs as well as the first single from newly signed artist "TyDi".
