Ukraine’s AIKON meets Sobek in this masterful collaboration. A thumping breakbeat rhythm forms the backbone of this haunting track, where clanking chimes meander amidst shrill, bitcrushed, pitch-bending synth lines. A mystical breakdown lays down mellifluous flute motifs, brooding, buzzing bass and a mosquito of a synth hook that are all smashed into the ether when the pummeling rhythm kicks back into life. Play this loud, close your eyes, and you’ll be transported into another dimension.
Adrian Roman gets brutal on his heavy remix, drafting in huge tribal drum hits that are reminiscent of the Japanese taiko, contrasting their off-kilter rhythm with a solid deep techno backbone and really amping up the atmospheric melodic elements to potent effect. ID_UA takes things deeper on their remix, into more hypnotic territory where bleepy riffs and throbbing bass pummel you into submission, while Buba rounds off the reworks with a slick breaks version with a sci-fi edge that pushes the original into the depths of outer space.

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)

Hey everyone, 

I'm Jason and I love making people dance but I like to say: I am more dancer than DJ.

I was born in Colombia and I'm influenced by a strong latin culture, especially by dance and joy.
I moved to Spain and it was in Madrid in 2019 (at the “Paraiso” festival) when I discovered electronic music. I was captivated by the musical variety and above all by the fact that the dancers were focused on the music and respected everyone who wanted to get on the dance floor. This took me back to the parties at my grandmother's house in Colombia, where everyone was welcome, endless dances between people who met for the very first time and a magical shared joy.
Since then the curiosity appeared very smoothly and little by little I was getting into the electronic culture.
I had the opportunity to have my first gigs in Madrid and some raves in Tenerife that led me to develop a deeper curiosity which made me move to Berlin. 
Now Berlin is giving me a new and fresh musical knowledge, where I love to go dancing and discover new artists, new ideas of how to make a set and how to make people dance.
That's my only goal.
