Dextro ‘Do You Need Help’


Multi-talented Glaswegian Dextro moves into the Border Community stable with ‘Do You Need Help’, a lush journey through live drums, acoustic guitar and distorted synths, which then falls to the infamous MFA for dancefloor funking-up duties.

Like a modern day one man band, guitars, drums, synths and production on the Dextro project are all the work of one Ewan Mackenzie from Glasgow. ‘Do You Need Help’ is a sublime sundown moment, a lush slice of folktronica which has everything in its right place. The MFA’s remix sounds like some kind of bizarre collision between old school rave and microhouse, and comes with our personal guarantee to do the business on every dancefloor inbetween. Meanwhile the Holden tools transform the acoustica and noisy synths of the original into another pair of handy tools.
