Ukrainean talent AIKON is back on Exploited Ghetto showing us more of his magical skills that have also landed him on other leading labels like Disco Halal and Sol Selectas.
Re.You provides one of his typically excellent remixes, beginning in similar fashion to the original but with a more instantaneous focus on the hovering bass. The stripped-back arrangement slowly gathers weight, with dazzling synth cascades in the breakdown unfolding into the track and blurring in and out of focus, serving as a main hook of sorts. There’s more of a tribal lilt to the beat too, with some percussive inflexion that makes the groove work harder.
Armonica dives into more brooding territory with a techier touch played out in chord stabs and shimmering synth arps. Elements of tribal percussion are pulled into a taut rhythm as snarls of low-slung electronics permeate the mix. A big build/break ramps up the tension, and a spacious yet intense arrangement is carefully constructed.

Early Feedback:
Skream: Will deffo play this 1.

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)
