Hexstatic have been consistently breaking new ground in Audio and Visual entertainment since 2000.
From their early work producing video’s for Coldcut and co-producing the seminal AV piece ‘Timber’, they then went on to sign to Ninjatune records and release the UK’s first fully audio visual album ‘Rewind’ in 2000.
Then followed the critically acclaimed ‘Listen and Learn’ mix for Ninja’s Solid Steel series in 2003 and CD/DVD release ‘Master View’ in 2004, another first with the accompanying DVD containing many 3D videos!
In 2006 they produced the Pick N Mix CD for Sanctuary records and in June 2007 released their 3rd studio album ‘When Robots Go Bad’. That and a cheeky host of bootlegs over the years under the Exactshit moniker.
Since their first tentative shows at early Big Chill events Hexstatic have become one of the worlds premier Audio Visual acts presenting spectacular shows around the globe containing their irreverant take on dance music with big injections of humour and good party times. They closed last years Big Chill with a celebration of the festival’s 15 years, a spectactualr performance that encompassed live Batucada and Capoeira and a special collaboration with beat box maestro Shlomo.
From dirty AV all-nighters at London’s 333 to the massive Electraglide shows in Tokyo. From Working Mens club launch parties in 3D to playing on a wall of water from the middle of the Thames, from illegal Guerilla gigs on the streets of London, Hexstatic have done it all.
2010 see’s two seperate projects from Hexstatic, Stuart leading a foray into the world of 3D performance with his ‘Holotronica’ project and Robin producing a new AV show and release entitled ‘Trailer Trax’,.. a bass heavy dance floor journey into the world of cut up ‘Drive-In’ style movie trailers and intermissions.
This release sees a return to the sample mania of early releases, infused with the up to date sensebilities of todays dance floors and, of course, a generous sprinkle of good humour.
Taking it’s lead from the schlock and cheese of ‘grindhouse’ style cinema trailers, drive-in intermission ads and those Saturday Morning Cinema shorts of all our youths… we SEE AND HEAR these elements sliced and diced with techno, dubstep, dancehall and drum and bass rhythms into a whipped up frenzy that’s ‘now available in the foyer!’
