"eXaDiCt is not just another Bass obsessed EDM House DJ, he is an experience. He is a state of mind. He is the gatekeeper of minds and souls to a fantastic frantic oasis that, while leaving you knackered, oddly also leaves you feeling re-invigorated. At 6ft tall and broad-shouldered, with his trademark left dimple, a chunky ostentatious earing shining brightly, and a rugged GQ dress sense (if it's not cotton, it won't go anywhere near him) he makes an imposing figure who commands respect. His confident persona is matched by his magician like control of anything digital. Before each set he always plays out previous track and leads the packed dance floor in a show of appreciation for the out-going DJ, before kick-starting his performance into a blaze of steadily increasing vibrations which seem to extract every quality beat of every one of eXaDiCt's tracks as he begins his show. To watch eXaDiCt DJ is part of the whole "reason why there is life on earth" experience. Cocky? Perhaps, but definetly not arrogant, eXaDiCt is now in in the driver's seat of the minds and bodies of his audience. A very precise and confident body language gives a visually intoxicating scene of what a dancing DJ is supposed to look like. Yet, he is not dancing; this is something far more intense and emotional. Imagine watching a porno star having hot, rough, yet passionate but dominating sex to a sexy, breathless, moaning lover which, in this case, comes in the shape of a pair of digital dj turntables breasts and a laptop face. Forceful, dominant, aggressive yet incredibly tender and caring. The audio impact allows your body to further immerse itself in the ecstasy eXaDiCt is subjecting you to; your ears alone cannot possibly absorb everything that he is throwing at you. As for his sound, imagine every track as a partially completed work of art. Through the use of effects on the turntables, eXaDiCt adds his own colour, texture and feel as he maximises every sound of every track to create the unique eXaDiCt sound. His precision mixing at incalculable speeds is part of his show; as each track mixes in you can absolutely feel the dance-floor vibe going up a notch to keep up with the frantic and energetic DJ that has them all by the balls. eXaDiCt's blend of vocal uplifting bouncy house and filthy dirty electro with dubstep is like him: deliciously hard yet very accessible. And when eXaDiCt makes eye contact with you, even if just for a moment, you get to experience the ultimate one of a kind sensation of him yearning for your seal of approval. In that instant you have transcended being a mere mortal member of his audience, into being part of what will most certainly be the most electrifying EDM set of the night. The sheer euphoria you feel is impossible to put into words. And then at the end, breathless, skin tingling and with a shit eating grin on your face from ear to ear, you feel as though every ounce of energy has been drained right out of you, just like those few seconds after one of the best orgasms of your whole life. Accompanying eXaDiCt to a gig is quite an experience. He is literally mobbed upon his arrival and departure from each gig, with fans eager have their photograph taken with him. Mobile phone-cum-digital cameras are designed for such occasions as his devotees put one arm around him and pose with their hero as the other arm acts as a remote-controlled tri-pod for the self-portrait.
