BBC Radio 1 Premiere by Pete Tong for 'Tentacles'.

'Tentacles' premiered in Dancing Astronaut:
"At this point, it's certainly not breaking news that Berlin label Exploited is a global powerhouse in electronic music: Everything the label touches seems to turn into dance music gold. The label continues to push ahead in 2016 with no signs of slowing down, presenting two huge collaborative tracks from Berlin-via-Helsinki producer Kiki." (http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2016/02/premiere-berlin-label-exploited-unveils-latest-kiki-tentacles/)

'Paradise' premiered in Earmilk:
“ 'Paradise' has this ominous but intriguing build up that introduces a hypnotic array of sounds, complimented by looping vocals to give it that extra flair to catch your attention. With the help of Boot Slap to provide his own style, creating this concoction of a track that has this heavy yet soothing buildups that work will for any dazed dance floor in need of a getaway."

The Headless Ghost trilogy out on Tamed Musiq comes to a close with the EP ‘Let’s Fall’. 
Headless Ghost, the analogue and 100% hardware project from Raphael Gros aka Ripperton has already seen him put out 2 acclaimed EP’s ‘Out’ and ‘77’. This third installment easily carries on their reputation with two remixes from fellow Swiss producers Deetron and Agnes. ‘Let’s Fall’ is easy to listen to, but in no way compromising the complexity of the productions, each remixer manages to bring a totally different angle to Headless Ghost’s ‘Let’s Fall’. 
Headless Ghost’s original first track Let’s Fall has an almost mechanic atmosphere certainly fitting with the mode of production. Let’s fall skips through staccato samples and pounding basslines, the track is raw and dark without losing its melody 
Deetron’s remix is a bouncing re-appropriation of Headless Ghost’s original track that maintains many of the same characteristics be it re-produced in a slightly lighter and higher sounding tone. 
Agnes creates a languid rolling version of ‘Let’s Fall’, chopping and changing the placing of the samples in the track she maintains an almost lazy rhythm throughout

Abstraxion returns to his own Biologic Records to release his Spazieren remix EP - Out September 12th - giving Ripperton, Mattheis, Conforce and INIT the freedom to have their own take on a track from Abstraxion’s forthcoming ‘She Thought She Would Last Forever’ LP.
Ripperton’s first mark on Spazieren is one of meticulous sound design and textures complemented by a poignant vocal that provides a wicked ambience. His second offering is rapt around a warm bassline with
orderly percussive stabs. Init’s remix has been crafted with precision – an unhurried and mysterious track that builds and anticipates smoothly due to the precise instrumentation and adept reverb that’s been
applied on the vocal. Conforce closes out the EP with intent by delivering a dark, forceful and abstract take on Spazieren.

Mixed by Francis Harris in his New York studio.

After 20 years in the rhythm of our weekend's heartbeat, it is now time to also share that beat by creating the Muna Music record label. The label will be a platform to release music by friends and musicians who are close to the club. Musically it's about the free cosmos between dub and techno in its natural beauty. 
It all begins with a compilation for the 20th anniversary of Muna. With a fine and small selection of tracks combining the feeling of 20 years at the club. 
The story will continue in the coming months with future exclusive limited edition vinyl releases, which will share some of the more beautiful things in this big bad music business. Of course, we are not reinventing the wheel or trying to change the world but our mission is always to make everything more beautiful !!!

The freshest dance music source in the galaxy.

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)
