Dexplicit is known within the grime and bassline scenes, with plans to release funky house also. Awarded 'Best Underground Producer' at the 2005 UMA Awards, he is now the owner of 'DXP Recordings'. Black the ripper's next mixtape, Black Magic, will feature production from Dexplicit and will be released on DXP Recordings.

Forward Riddim

In the grime scene, Dexplicit is probably best known for producing "Forward Riddim", arguably the most popular grime track to date, which got the crowd so hyped up that it was banned in many clubs. Dexplicit's productions were given good airplay by Heat FM DJ Slik D, and Lethal Bizzle was interested in vocalling them. After originally planning to record over the instrumental 'Might Be', Dexplicit gave Lethal 'Forward', resulting in Forward Riddim. The song achieved good chart success, despite its uncompromising sound. It reached #11 in the UK Singles' Chart, even after being banned in various Essex nightclubs. The song also went to America, being vocalled by hip hop giants such as Jay-Z.
