When you look
at the list of achievements of BeXta Australia's No1 female DJ
and possibly the most successful dance music 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, including 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 - a notable achievement for a 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 are just about to be hit with number
9 in the series, which she is introducing her first international
DJ to accompany her on the comps - Brooklyn Bounce. This
collaboration will surely propel and Bexta's production career
to a much wider international stage - a long running objective
of this personable and determined DJ.
As
well as the release of 'Mixology 9' , BeXta has embarked on a
project to introduce 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 www.mixologydigitalrecords.com/
But vinyl junkies rest assured there will a be a vinyl release
to launch the label, which will be available internationally,
and will feature a new BeXta track, and will introduce 2 of her
new artists - Steve Black and TyDi.
