The Beginning
Dextrous took his DJing up a gear when he started to play at parties and small clubs in 1987. At around the same time he began putting his studio together, based around an Atari 520STFM, Casio HT3000 keyboard, Casio CZ-101 Synth and Yamaha TX7 Sound Module. He had always been into computers and other technical matters, so the marriage of music and technology was always going to be an attraction to him. He released his first record in 1992, on Ruff Quality Recordings (the sister label of Shut Up and Dance Records) entitled Ruffneck Biznizz which topped the Kiss FM House Charts. This track was one of the precursors to the Jungle Scene, with its sped up breakbeats and reggae/dub bass-lines.
