Previously of other well-respected labels like Disco Halal and Sol Selectas, AIKON is a very promising new talent who now lands on Exploited Ghetto.
The sprightly plucked synth arpeggios of ‘Saturn’ sound as if he is imitating a middle Eastern string instrument, and the inclusion of sitar solo shimmering under the electronic elements works in perfect harmony. The rolling bassline interplays perfectly with the chunky kicks, and the combination of the elements generates a wonderful kind of dancefloor hypnosis. Meditative, magical music.
The talented Sandhog brings his atmospheric signature sound to a remix of ‘Saturn’. He feeds the sitar through a bitcrusher to great, hazy effect, contrasting with the crisp, clean sound of the plucked lead. Acidic gurgles hover subtly beneath, while various percussive hits help add accent to the groove.
‘Dishes’ walks a similarly moody and potent path. Moroder-esque stuttered bass walks its way through the pitter-patter of hi-hats, live snares and cowbells. More plucked string motifs create a dramatic tension, and the whole the drives along with a serious head of steam and an introspective feel.

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)

Oksana / Оксана - Based in the East London heartlands, Oksana is part of the next wave of exciting DJ talent to emerge from London’s capital.
His sound unique, fusing together the darker side of House music with rhythmically imprinted tribal elements, full of creative flair and is constantly pushing the boundaries of his chosen genre.
Never one to conform, Оксана sets are typically heard flittering between Tech House and Minimal grooves with subtle Techno nuances creating an identity that is true to himself and resonates overwhelmingly with a crowd.
Although a relative newcomer to the scene, this upcoming artist has already crafted quite an impressive CV of both venues and events, as he embarks on his acoustic journey that will inevitably see him rise to the top of the scene.
In fact, his list of residencies grows constantly and rapidly, with some well-respected brands taking notice of his undeniable skills at the controls.
This rise is ever more evident as he has taken to the airwaves with a bi-weekly residency on the most talked about House Music Radio station in London - House 559 where his shows have already delivered large numbers of both listeners and post-show playbacks, adding yet more credibility to his moniker and sound.
Not one to stand still, Oksana launched his own underground House movement in 2018; Lost The Plot.
Although in its early stages of growth, the exciting brand has already commanded some real attention and with that, a flurry of revellers flocking to see both venture and artist rise.
2019 is already in full bloom for sertima as his ascent continues at pace. With his sound constantly impressing and following surging there is only one direction for this talent.
Up.
