'We warmly welcome a new talent from Brussels to DUAT Folklore .... Ikaro Grati.

His straight, minimalistic, but powerful and melodic style impressed us from the very first demo he sent to DUAT Folklore. We were never in doubt, signing him straight away. We're expecting big things and a long relationship with our newest family member.'

Ikaro Grati - Kagemni

Premiere: Ikaro Grati - Kagemni [Duat Folklore]

For our 24th release, we are thrilled to propound the artistry of two Iranian talents, Hamoon and Nina Shamar, who join inspiration and skills to sign a masterfully crafted EP, also featuring on virtuoso remix duties UK-based Venezuelan wizard Joone and Argentinian astounding soundshaper Agustin Giri.

First up and naming the record, “Before the End” combines a deft and sensitive array of lofty resonating drum patterns with an awesome enthralling melodic main theme. Punctuated by suggestive spiraling synth lines and magnified by two spellbinding crescendo rising breaks, the tune manages the perfect and subtle balance between a solid beat-triggering manifesto and a dreamy cinematic state of mind.

Joone’s remix expands on the themes and sonic palette of the original piece through a sturdy and full reinterpretation scheme encompassing much of what his sophisticated signature is about, while staying true to its primary emotional aura. Built on a deeper flaming tempo and intense organic bassline enhanced by flamboyant razoring and ascensional synth waves, it further unveils the haunting immersive melodic original core and emphasises its suggestive majesty with a bewitching breakdown section that has a fierce mystical appeal.

On a darker pounding note, “Burned Wire” by Hamoon and Nina Shamar, whose spectral overture already says it all, harnesses a pin-sharp techno approach, also inspired by synth wave or industrial spirited flavors. Irradiated by subliminal flashes of lightness, the tune further awakens our inner self before leading us to the boiling force of a staunch hypnotic groovy bassline merged with magnetic swirling synth effects that produce a both cavernous and electrifying climax.

Finishing off the voyage in a brilliant refashioning manner, Agustin Giri revisits “Burned Wire” to transmit his own singular musical vision without losing the essence of the original statement. A fluid and compelling combination of slick rhythmic and percussive drum layers, undulating melodic synth arrangements, and a dissemination throughout the whole soundscape of the evocative spoken words to increase the timeless impact of their “Wake up” spell.

Four weapons of masterly massive attraction, defying with a captivating elegance the standard etiquette of electronic dance musicality, speaking to the mind of knowledgeable music lovers and tasteful nightbirds.

Starting off this spring season Dunkelheit would like to present its first VA, 'Shades Of reality'. The compilation consists of several unique productions that convey the first Volume's title. Each track emits a certain emotion, which evanesces into a shade of a metamorphic reality that projects the moment of now, like the brand new Renga Weh track called "Imagination".

Midi Minds Kenya in conjunction with The Safari Collection, Backdrop Agency & Madorasindahouse travelled to Samburu National Conservancy to capture and highlight the musical identity of the Samburu warriors, women and children, in the form of a song based sample pack, a documentary format video, and a Various Artists music compilation (VA). 

This project is set out to raise awareness, financial ability and cultural highlight towards the Samburu tribe and community, through using selected Recordings for the production of this 19-track compilation. It features productions by Laolu, Armonica, Da Capo, Caiiro, Shimza, Umami and many more, as well as local Kenyan talent, such as Suraj, Saint Evo, Foozak & Dylan-S. 

After visiting the Westgate area of Samburu, and discussions with the community leaders, we found the most common day to day issue they face is lack of educational infrastructure. We firmly believe that this is a cause worth advocating for.

The community is not able to establish a sustainable educational system and that is why part of the proceedings will go towards building a class-room in the primary school and provide sustainable contributions to the teachers fund. The whole process will be part of a documentary that will be released along with the Compilation, in an event held in Nairobi, Kenya on the 30th of November 2019.

AIKON returns to Exploited with an EP of dark moods and sensual melody.

The title track is a dark slice of Italo disco / electro, with taut snares cutting through the droning bass and hypnotic synth arpeggiation. Building imperceptibly through subtle atmospheric touches, the track reaches a spine-tingling peak in the spacious breakdown, where synths soar and the acidic bass gets a moment in the spotlight. A voice breathes the word ‘acid’ as the beat kicks back into life, completing the tripped out feel of this moody chugger.

‘Galaxy’ is driven along by a hefty bassline throb, soon bolstered by monotone acid tones and infectious cowbell rhythm. Blasts of synths tease as we head towards the heavenly breakdown, where beautiful sampled guitar melody rubs up against floaty, ambient pad sounds. The contrast between the guitar and the moody bass sounds when the beat drops back in is magical, channeling some of that ‘90s dreamhouse energy as gated, shimmering chords add another sumptuous motif.

‘Heroes’ is a little more on the melodic techno tip but keeps the textures and themes of the EP running through it. Moving at a languid tempo, the track focuses around a simple, blissed-out, ecstasy-imbued hook and a chugging bass rhythm. The switch from a 4/4 thump to a breakbeat rhythm halfway through shifts the mood brilliantly, and throughout subtle changes eke out more beauty from this heads-down affair.

Rampa: Thanks. Will check.

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)
