For anyone in the Australian Dance Music scene, the name BeXta is as well known as trance itself. BeXta has dominated the trance scene in Oz for well over a decade now, and has also flown the flag for Australian trance music producers internationally.

BeXta is about to release the 11th installment of her successful mix cd compilation ‘Mixology”. For the first time in the series history, BeXta is collaborating with another dj – UK’s no 1 trance femme fatale “Sophie Sugar”. Sophie is signed to Armin Van Buuren’s “Armada” label and is proud to be contributing to the Mixology series. Sophie and BeXta met while on a 6 week tour of Indonesia last year, their common love of trance led them to stay in touch and eventually come up with the idea to collaborate on Mixology 11.

For the first time, the Mixology compilation is an international release, an exciting development for the series. To update what’s been happening in the BeXta camp..

In 2008

BeXta is one of the few dj’s in Australia releasing her own music. Her producing highlights include 2 4star reviews in DJ Mag. An “anthem of the year” for Radio One Judge Jules. Remixes of artists such as Vanessa Amarossi, ACDC and Icehouse, a top 10 ARIA independent album release, and a swag of singles that are instantly charting on sites like trackitdown.net. And now BeXta is now about to sign with a US label.

BeXta has been performing live since 1993 and djing since 1997, headlining shows across Oz and also in Canada, UK, Europe, Indonesia, Asia and New Zealand. She has been top local support for international artists such as Paul Van Dyke, Armin Van Buuren, Fat Boy Slim, Carl Cox, Basement Jaxx, Chemical Bros, Timo Mass, Brooklyn Bounce, Technoboy, Prodigy, Markus Schulz and many many others. Her musical style as a dj is predominantly trance but covers all sub genres, such as electro trance, progressive, tech trance, driving trance and uplifting.

Her first release, single “Lunar Tango” was released by a small indy label and received well in 1995. Then she signed to Sony and released her “skirmish live EP” which did extremely well. She has had a string of singles to date, including “One for the Road” originally released in 2001 and after receiving a 4 star review in DJ mag, went on to end up in Judge Jules anthem list for the year.

In 2004, BeXta released her debut album “Conversations with ones and zeroes” which went to no8 on the Australian independent album charts. Bexta has also remixes several high profile artists, including ACDC and Icehouse, and also “the Winner Is…” – the top 10 track that sampled the announcement of Sydney winning the 2000 Olympic games bid.

BeXta’s recent development of her own Mixology Digital label has seen great success with her own releases and other artists on the label – each release entering the trance charts on Trackitdown UK.

The Mixology dj compilation series was born in 2000, and is one of the longest running dj compilation series in Australia’s dance music history. Mixology 10 was supported by a 20 date tour. Mixology 11 is set to be just a big, with dates being locked in as we speak – including all capital cities and other regions – details to be announced soon. Mixology 11’s release date is July 2008.
