Claude VonStroke - Can't Wait / The Clapping Track
Available on DRIP.FM: http://smarturl.it/mdsujr

The artwork for Claude VonStroke's upcoming 3rd album, "Urban Animal" best summarizes the theme of this full length outing from the dirtybird chief. A collection of architectural photography in disrepair from Detroit and The Midwest were chopped up and reconstructed into the shapes of 3 amazing animal portraits, a lion, a lizard, and a bird.

In the same way, Claude has taken sounds and snippets of his busy and sometimes frantic life and created an album from these simple and complex elements. Beauty and intrigue created from smaller pieces of chaos and adversity.

The introductory single, "Cant Wait," is reminiscent of some of VonStroke's deeper classics while also pushing further into new territory. A sense of restraint and release play games throughout this melancholy tune with a fat bassline locking down the groove. "Can't Wait" has fleeting moments of euphoria that are both surprising and uplifting especially for a summer open air crowd.

"The Clapping Track" then shows us the fun side of VonStroke where he cuts apart 16 claps and then brings them back together - building up to a standing ovation as a resonate organ sounds. This house anthem has already been destroying the Dirtybird Ibiza residency and summer festival circuit as well.

Both tracks are great for the club and leave us wondering what other happy surprises have been constructed out of the infinite imperfect pieces inside Claude VonStroke's head.

'Belgian producer Mickey makes music that's just like his country's chocolate: sweet, smooth and oh-so-enticing. Last year's Exploited releases 'LA Anyway' and 'Holding Hands', especially the latter, are exactly that, not forgetting the stunning 'Sweet Baby' and remixes of Sébastien Tellier and Claptone.
Another Exploited release, 'You Know The Beat', is coming this month and it's a lively, juicy fruit slab of bumpin' house. This guy's roll ain't ending any time soon by the sound of things.' (Mixmag)

'This irresistable piece of funked up house music comes from one of our favourite artists, Mickey. Always delivering freshness, Exploited team up with him again for another unbeatable release. We love this track and will be playing it all year, ideal for brightening up a dreary winter’s day!' WORD UP.' (Deephouse London)

'The general trend in house music as of late has been a bit on the dark side but it doesn’t mean that the best music has been in that territory. Top pick of the week is by the Belgian producer simply known as Mickey who is back on Exploited with this disco-funk jam called “You Know The Beat”.' (Magnetic Magazine)

Featured on upcoming DJMag Selection 01 Compilation + early support by BBC Radio1/Danny Howard, dOP, Erol Alkan, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Martin Landsky, Laurent Garnier, Tensnake, Riva Starr, ZDS, Arthur Baker, Miguel Campbell, DJ T, Sasha, Bag Raiders, Wildkats, Kasper Bjoerke, Waifs & Strays, Noir, Mia Dora, Laidback Luke, Sonny Fodera, James Curd, Moodymanc, Pezzner, Kyodai, Nils Nuernberg, Crackazat, Brett Johnson, Compuphonic, James Curd, PJU, Jamie Anderson, Sinden, Phonique, Khan, Smash TV.

Mickey starts the New Year with another great anthem. 'You Know The Beat' is a mixup of 90ies French House, combined with a classic old school American House Vibe and Groove. Think Cassius meets Todd Terry.

We saw Mickey, as a newcomer, growing on the label Exploited. His releases 'Sweet Baby', 'Holding Hands' and 'Walk Away' are topping our label's bestsellers of the year 2014. His track 'Sweet Baby' was among the Top 10 best selling tracks at Beatport in the genre Deephouse. Next to his Belgian residency at the infamous 'Libertine Supersport' nights, he travels all over the world to rock the crowd with his energetic DJ sets.

He just finished a remix for Australian 'Modular Label‘ stars 'Bag Raiders' and is currently in London working on his next single.

With over 7 million plays and counting on YouTube Compuphonic's 2011 collaboration with Marques Toliver, 'Sunset' raised the bar pretty high. Since then Maxime has gone on to produce remixes for the likes of Giorgio Moroder, Gotye even and fellow Belgians The Subs (winning a Red Bull award in the process) and release two acclaimed EPs on Berlin label Exploited.

Now finally Maxime and Marques have reunited for a new EP on Exploited, 'Magical Shoes', and the results are everything we could have hoped for.

Having delivered two huge club hits in 2014 with ’Radio Atlantis’ and ’O Cypres’, Belgian star Compuphonic returns this February with his third EP for Exploited, ‘Magical Shoes’. 2 tracks of sublime House music, the ‘Magical Shoes’ EP sees Compuphonic finally reunited with the Beyoncé approved American singer Marques Toliver, whose vocals previously graced Maxime’s 2012 breakout hit ’Sunset’.

Once again this Transatlantic pairing have struck gold as Compuphonic’s distinctive brand of deeply emotional, nuanced, House Music provides the perfect setting for Marques’ plaintive vocals. With it’s distinctive Korg M1 organ and shuffling beats ‘Magical Shoes’ instantly brings to mind legendary ‘90s New York clubs like The Sound Factory but thanks to Compuphonic’s production skills it goes well beyond that of simple period pastiche and sounds utterly fresh for 2015, a bonafide club hit that is already peppering the sets of DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Tensnake and The Magician.

As the title suggests the EP’s 2nd track ‘The Sun Does Rise’ is the natural successor to the duo’s previous outing. As deep as the Pacific Ocean this is a trance inducing hymn to hope, music designed to elevate the soul as much as move the body and bring some much needed warmth back to clubland. Expect to hear this played everywhere and anywhere this year where the party goes through the night and the first morning light breaks over the dancefloor.

Recorded in the famous Vantage Point Studios in Antwerp - dEUS’s own recording studio, a special, inspiring moment for Maxime, a lifelong fan of the band - the ‘Magical Shoes’ EP cements his position as one of Europe’s most talented producers and with remixes to come soon on Carl Craig’s Planet E and more original material on Exploited, the future is looking bright for Compuphonic.

Adana Twins - Bleeding (feat. Human Life)

If You Only Knew

This is our personal favourite of the label for this year!

Included in DMC UK Buzzcharts and Mixmag Reviews. Premiered by Big Shot Magazine & Deephouse Amsterdam. Props from Tim Sweeney (Beats in Space), Axel Boman (Pampa/Studio Barnhus), Tensnake (True Romance), dOP (Circus Company), Acid Pauli (Crosstown Rebels), Patrick Pulsinger (Cheap Records/Hercules&Love Affair)...
Functional, ethereal, hallucinogen, deep, oceanic, balearic disco house. This is how Sirens Of Lesbos' first volume of their new ESSAYS series sounds like:
Moving across the genres...
While SOL's signature material is rather song structured / radio orientated, ESSAYS displays a different, more experimental and 100% dancefloor oriented dimension of the group. Volume 1 is a shamanic silver bullet for all DJs who praise dream-like house music, electronic synthesized melodic beats & grooves and some Ibiza Sunshine.

Tim Sweeney:
"Nice one."

Axel Boman:
"Polynesian Dance at sunrise at Sunset Campout this week is the plan! The SOL release is great!!! Love it!! :)"

Tensnake:
"Quite a strong EP."

Mixmag:
"Wicked - like a mature nintendo game aimed at the dancefloor."

dOP:
"Like the happy mood of Polynesian Dance!"

Acid Pauli:
":)"

Patrick Pulsinger:
"1980s Japan!"

Friendly Fires:
"Lovely. Polynesian Dance is ecstatic."

DMC UK Worldmagazine:
"3 beautiful and unique tracks bringing smiles and grooves to the floor. Polynesian Dance looks set to be a classic for sure."

Deephouse Amsterdam:
http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/full-premiere-sirens-of-lesbos-7-minutes-in-tibet/
'Their new EP on Exploited will undoubtedly make its mark in this month’s release calendar. The three-tracker gets under your skin from the outset. Premiere 7 Minutes in Tibet is less of a dance-floor filler than it is a perfect after party anthem.'

Big Shot Magazine:
http://newsflash.bigshotmag.com/mp3s/stream/37095/
'This month the wildly creative posse return with Essays Volume 1, an EP tailored exclusively for the dance floor. “Together In 1980s Japan” is a dreamy disco-house affair sporting a bouncy bassline, shimmering melodies, crafty synth-driven bleeps and oh-so-angelic vocal samples.'

About Adana Twins:
Adana Twins have been championing Hamburg's party spirit across the globe since their formation back in 2006. The duo are made up of Friso and Take It Easy, who despite the collective name aren't related at all, but their relationship with music is what keeps them united. It was their huge releases on Exploited 'Everyday' and 'Strange' that catapulted them into the spotlight in 2012.
Since then they have loyally continued to churn out tunes on the imprint, gathering support from all across the board.
The pair’s latest offering is entitled 'Heroe' which includes remixes from SevenDoors (Diynamic/Exploited), Krankbrother (Krankbrother Records) and Dino Lenny (Ellum).

Mystery surrounds the identity of production combo Claptone. Perhaps it doesn't matter... 
Their first EP "She Loves You" was a mix of sharply floor focused tech-house, deep house and disco blends. Currently No. 4 in the German Club Charts and liked by key-players such as Tensnake, Julio Bashmore, Eats Everything, A-Trak, Matthew Dear and Tim Sweeney - we had to make a quick follow-up. 
Here it is: CREAM...not only for lovers of 90ies Rapmusic. 

Early Feedback: 
DJ HELL: Cream is the first Clubhit in 2012. 
DJ SNEAK: Cool tools. 
NOIR: Wow.... both tracks are pretty dope here. 
SOUL CLAP: Real cool bootlegs. Big up! 
WOLF&amp;LAMB: Bangers and Mashhh!

In a now long forgotten world, many generations ago, a bird like shape emerged from wooded darkness, floating and fluttering, drifting and dreaming. Backlit by a bright glow of iridescent light, the undecipherable form wore a dazzling golden mask. Its long beak swooped down like an inverted horn and since then, people have referred to the mythical being simply as Claptone...

Exploited Rec promises to strip the wallpaper from the walls of your home stereo.
Shir Khan started Exploited in 2007. Exploited Rec now plays host to some wide-ranging and innovative electronic talent - including Adana Twins, Claptone, Budakid, Joyce Muniz, James Curd, Shir Khan (to name a few) - and its artists have been receiving numerous supportive spins from the likes of Solomun, Pete Tong, Soul Clap, Wolf&Lamb, Azari&III, Jesse Rose, Axel Boman and A-Trak.
This is serious dance music at it's most cutting edge with all the juice to really get you going. It's totally contemporary, innovative and has a chunky dirty feel. "Exploited" take you on an invigorating roller coaster ride back to your youth when you first listened to dance music with all the thrills and spills you so enjoyed about clubbing. It's heavy, exciting and special.
'"Exploited Records" is a seamless melting pot of varied styles that simply can't fail to please even the most discerning ears. Highlights here are plentyful. Not to be missed at any cost.' (Clash)
'Musical hybrids are truly the flavour of today, but few have managed to capture the atmosphere of an unpredictable microcosm of a night out on a recordlabel - until now. Shir Khan's label "Exploited" bottles the zeitgeist's giddy thrills with plenty of style and substance. This is dance music hybridism in all its most glorious forms, and Shir Khan is an expert at making square pegs fit round holes.' (DJ-Mag)
'"Exploited Records" boss Shir Khan has been gaining a lot of acclaim recently, and deservedly so - as he has shown us the high quality, diversity and forward-thinking nature of his label. Engaging, riveting and diverse.' (Data Transmission)
