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.

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)
