EXPLOITED RELEASES

Label favourite Modular Project follow the success of their 'It's Time' EP and step in with an energetic, rig-ready tool built with festival floors in mind.

'You Know What I Mean' rolls out a springy break that remains tethered to a 4/4 kick and sub combo that immediately sets a hands-in-the-air tone. Progress marches on while a sprightly vocal comes in and at this point the mood is certifiably dialled.

What follows is a build-up that sits the track comfortably in a big room space as 909 hats work to maintain a sense of urgency while vocals are stretched and mangled and a caustic 303 nips and snarls away.

The track then builds sequential bridges between the next drop, each landing with a pupil-widening splash.

Fun, functional acid - what more could you want!

Modular Project - You Know What I Mean (Exploited Club)

Across previous releases on Diynamic, TAU, Engrave, Monaberry and Renaissance, AIKON has developed a catalogue of striking and cinematic dance floor music that caters for the gamut of dance floor moods.

Here he steps up with a clinic in club tension. Sustained pads, stacking melodies and a neat, circling bass line work together to weave a knot of energy that is then loosened and tightened as the track unfurls.

A snappy break cuts in unexpectedly alongside luminous stabs that burst in a manner that forecasts a shift in gears before the mood is dialled back down leaving the listener receptive and expectant; the perfect state for a fizzy late warm up floor.

Enduro Disco strut in alongside Italian duo Hard Ton who follow up releases on Permanent Vacation and Tripalium. Together, the trio form a formidable group and work together to present a slice of unbridled joy.
'Little Horny Mess' immediately depicts a pastel-tinged vision of Miami in its hedonistic hay-day; a time rich with opportunity and free of consequence. Disco drums kick in all the right places while rich filters glide, breathing a vibrant, colourful air into vocals and guitar lines. Sassy flashes of brass drop in with hubris, punctuating the trip toward a heated breakdown that pops in a humid flurry of pure pop bliss. There is also a club mix which speeds up the tempo and strips things down a bit.

Hailing from Sydney, Jerk Boy has amassed a credible catalogue of modern Disco music, the contents of which can be huddled together under the umbrella of 'music for good times'. He knows exactly how to move floors and his next single featuring Irfane is case on point.

Best known for his collaborative work with Ed Banger mainstay Breakbot who he toured with extensively - Irfane has also worked with Hudson Mowhake and remains a deeply versatile vocalist. Together the duo lay out 'Something Isn't Right'; a classy cut with an easy, free-flowing energy.

A trim and shifty bass line pops and flexes under a finger snapping snare and sixteenth-note shuffles. The groove is effortless as is gently segues through sections of chordal chimes, vocal refrains and flashes of melodic expression with just enough drive and force to keep the vibe buoyant throughout.

A radio edit and an instrumental offer options for DJs who will no doubt pull it for it's fun, addictive and softly rapturous spirit.'

Exploited Club warmly welcomes Brazilian talent Cour T. who serves up 4 of his trademark distilled, high impact dance floor cuts.

At just 22, Cour T. has already laid the groundwork for a vibrant and fruitful career. His debut LP 'Brain Deals' for San Francisco label Dirtybird and subsequent support from the Hot Creations crew saw him propelled into a space reserved for only the most propitious and hard working.

He's continued to deliver with each step that's followed, growing in scale and swag as he has and his next EP for Exploited Club is yet another progressive step on course.

'Disko Blow' kicks us off with a lean slice of Italo. All excess is trimmed leaving behind a refined selection of dry, brawny sound that smacks with maximum impact. An elastic synth rings out while psychedelic FX burst in a fractal flurry while the ebb and flow of the track moves with an arresting quality guaranteed to whip up serious floor fervour.

'Empires' slaps in with comparable force as a whetted drum break nips over a boisterous and playful bass line. Sassy guitar licks breath in some balmy air while delayed signals almost provide a delicate dub seasoning to an otherwise straight-up House groove.

'Eple' follows up with a a steamy, Ghetto-edged vibe that's powered by a turbo snare and a shark-bite bass line. Another masterclass in arrangement unfolds as the track grows more and more muscular across it's chapters, giving it that fail-safe quality and rendering it highly playable.

'7th Desire' finishes up with a rich and potent sound layered with delays, melodies and FX that braid together into a misty mood. An extended, humid breakdown has energy swelling up before accumulating at full force; vocals shining through a rushy, eye-widening conclusion'.

Swiss duo Psycho Weazel step in with some dance floor dynamite.

Léo Besso and Ivo Roxo's story is one of kinship; a tale of two friends spurring each other through an ever-ascending journey propelled by soft hearts and a magnetic, boisterous energy.

With hours stacking in the studio, Psycho Weazel defined their sound with the beautifully balanced 'boysdontcry'. This LP sought to give license to emotional expression whilst showcasing an important facet of their characters that extends beyond party starters and is more introspective and complex.

This balance is echoed across their latest outing for Exploited Club. 'Sueño Cálido' is equal parts heartfelt and mobile; club bangers with a cosy tinge perfect for warm summer dance floors.

The title track kicks things off with a deft counterbalance of power and poignancy. Nifty polyrhythms dance a syncopated shuffle under buttery synths that swell into humid plumes, while a boxing bass line tacks together a highly infectious groove. More melodies are gently folded in as emotion mounts, and a clever, free-flowing arrangement keeps the listener engaged, while a certain lo-fi quality wraps them in a homey blanket.

'Sueur' follows up with a slapping 909 drum track adorned with a bubbling organ and broad, colorful synth sweeps. Again, lively sequencing keeps the listener on their toes as drums are expertly dropped in and out, while melodies duck and weave across a bold, no-nonsense DJ tool.

'Body Alarm' brings things to a steamy close. Toms lead the charge here as they form the bones of a totally irresistible vibe, enhanced with carnival vocal cuts and sharp organ jabs. A wild breakdown unfolds as the energy stacks in layers, keeping the mood at boiling point until the very end.

Shir Khan marks the 37th release on his infamous Black Jukebox imprint with an all-killer balearic house record courtesy of mysterious Cécille-affiliated Cabin Luv Affair hot on the heels of his debut album which has seen support from Fouk, Laurent Garnier, Jamie Jones, Mr. V and Archie Hamilton. 

Here, the masked master lays out 5 convivial cuts that sit in a particular pocket between House and Disco; one that has historically been occupied by the likes of Pepe Bradock, Damiano Von Eckert and Andrés. A spot classically characterised by beautifully imperfect, sample-heavy productions that are shot through with palpable depth and soul.

The record sets sail with ’Te Siento’. Polyrhythmic percussion bubbles across the surface of a deep sonic pool that forms a bed for vivacious drums, romantic vocals and a spine-tingling strings riff. A hazy opening clears out before the backbone of recording shines through; an uplifting 90s piano motif that's later picked up by Xylophone tones while a tight, truncated bass line punches away at the track's core.

'Dance With Us' then rolls out a beautifully seductive mood. Softly shifting synth chords, a loose-limbed drum break and hedonic vocals whip up a hot and heavy vibe that shines with a distinctly Chicago-tinged elegance.

'Time Is Killing Us' follows up with an immaculately executed, 'last tune' House groove. A gentle but powerful euphoria is generated with swooning strings, more giddy piano riffs and another robust drum track that all gather momentum as progress rolls on. An ecstasy-crescendo forms before it crashes and fizzles before the lights go on.

'My Head Like Shibuya Crossing' then follows up with a tightly-knitted Deep House cut. Buttery melodies adorn an effortlessly kinetic bass groove before a delicate Japanese vocal bleeds into focus. As is the case with much of the record, the track graciously segues through its chapters with melody at the fore-front before 'Stuck On You' brings the record to a conclusion.
 
The quality runs right through to the close as the track bumps and hustles in a collection of snipped samples and totally irresistible percussion. A luscious vocal line carries the flame forwards, maintaining that sweet spot between playful and sophisticated making the tune a no-brainer for DJs looking to send a subtle spark out onto the floor.

In our hedonic pocket of Dance Music, Ali X is an artist that needs no introduction. But for those not in the know, he is part of the vital and vivacious Azari & III; the inimitable group that smacked the scene round its face with tunes like 'Hungry For The Power', 'Manic' and 'Reckless (With Your Love)' in the 2010s.

Having moved from Toronto where the group were based, 
Ali X is now embedded in the hot and heavy milieu of Mexican club culture where he has found the perfect home for his particular strain of brazen, sauce-laden House and Techno.

With 'Mi Dios Mi Amor' he lays out some pacy heat, deliciously adorned with the salacious lyrics of Mexican artist MAFARA. Together, the duo braid flawlessly and the result is a sweat-dripping slice of Techmex.

The tracks bursts out the blocks with a Dance Mania intensity as a stocky 909 beat slaps under truncated vocal cuts and sharp, stabbing bass line. A stage is set for MAFARA who struts in with infectious aplomb. The vibe is electric – an immaculately produced workout that oozes Ghetto flair, perfectly capturing the heat and intensity of Modern Mexican parties.

Exploited warmly welcome back FM4 resident Joyce Muniz who returns to the label and continues her incremental ascent with a slice of gratitude in the form of bumping, Lo-fi afro Italo.

'Mo Dupe' makes use of vocals from a Nigerian ritual that pays homage to the Goddess of abundance, Oxum. The raw, untreated timbre of the vocals are paired with a crunchy, textural bed as bit crushed drums bump with a palpable snap and a propulsive bass line bores straight through the heart of the groove like a train track.

Foggy synths and a hefty dose of spacious delay whip up a thick, intoxicating energy across a track that manages to be both singular and deeply playable.'
