God bless the British weather.
That’s all London based DJ and Producer Dexter Ford could say when Riche Hawtin’s set from the Minus 10 year celebration at Berlin’s infamous Watergate was broadcast on BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix, replacing the scheduled set from Creamfields which had been rained off.
The downpour helped Dexter achieve on of his long time goals - to hear one of his tracks on Pete Tong’s legendary show - when Richie closed his set with “Our Sun”, Dexter’s second release. The track has become a regular in Hawtin’s sets this summer, also getting airplay at Enter:Space, and Cocoon Amnesia in Ibiza.
As a DJ, Dexter plays on the deeper side of things, but always with a solid groove and an ear for the quirky or more involving productions that generate those dancefloor "moments" that leave you needing to have a word with yourself.
His productions follow a similar pattern: deep, hooky tracks that have the "heads" nodding and enough depth to keep space cadets rocking, inspired by a love of the underground vibe that started with the UK's acid house revolution and is still reflected in East London's warehouse parties to this day.
