"I've never heard so much bass come out of such a little person" - someone once said to BeXta after one of her sets, BeXta is known for her hard trance, bangin beats and energetic vibe created every time she hits the dex or plays live. Sydney born Aussie, BeXta has spent her life around music, playing the piano since the age of 9 and writing music since 11. But she also had a passion for technology, and when she was exposed to the magic of dance music and raves in 1992, she knew this was meant to be.
BeXta started producing and performing dance music in 1993, and extended her talents to dj-ing in 1996. She has been playing continuously since then across the land of Oz, at clubs, parties and festivals, to crowds of up to 14000. She has graced the stage along side acts such as Bjork, Prodigy, Fat Boy Slim, Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Timo Maas, Carl Cox and John Digweed, at events like the Big Day Out, Gatecrasher (Oz), Slinky(Oz) and Utopia. BeXta has held the title as Australia's No1 female dj for a few years now, and earned a place in the top 5 Australian dj's voted by the public in a recent Australian poll.
BeXta has been releasing music in Oz since 1995. She has released 6 singles to date, several remixes, including an ACDC and an Icehouse remix, and the Skirmish live EP, which did well on the national charts. 2001 saw BeXta hit the international stage, with gigs outside Australia, and had her first international release "One for the Road", released through Eve Records, on the Recover label. One for the Road was also remixed by UK Hard House legend Andy Farley. The track was received extremely well by the global community, appearing on many top UK dj's charts, including the Radio One anthems chart, and released on a swag of compilations.
Bexta has also been releasing a dj mix series called Mixology. The fourth of the series was just released in Australia, and has been received extremely well. The Mixology series is one of the only successful Independent dj compilations on the Australian market, the whole series selling over 25,000 to date.
2002 has been BeXta's year, as a producer and a dj are in demand, and it looks like 2003 is going to be even bigger, launching the year with a live show at the Big Day Out. BeXta is winding up her 3 month Mixology tour at the end of October, and then she will be in the studio, completing the material for her forthcoming album. It seems BeXta is here to stay, as a producer, performer and a dj, and so far there is no one complaining, just a lot of people dancing.
