With over 7 million plays and counting on YouTube Compuphonic's 2011 collaboration with Marques Toliver, 'Sunset' raised the bar pretty high. Since then Maxime has gone on to produce remixes for the likes of Giorgio Moroder, Gotye even and fellow Belgians The Subs (winning a Red Bull award in the process) and release two acclaimed EPs on Berlin label Exploited.

Now finally Maxime and Marques have reunited for a new EP on Exploited, 'Magical Shoes', and the results are everything we could have hoped for.

Having delivered two huge club hits in 2014 with ’Radio Atlantis’ and ’O Cypres’, Belgian star Compuphonic returns this February with his third EP for Exploited, ‘Magical Shoes’. 2 tracks of sublime House music, the ‘Magical Shoes’ EP sees Compuphonic finally reunited with the Beyoncé approved American singer Marques Toliver, whose vocals previously graced Maxime’s 2012 breakout hit ’Sunset’.

Once again this Transatlantic pairing have struck gold as Compuphonic’s distinctive brand of deeply emotional, nuanced, House Music provides the perfect setting for Marques’ plaintive vocals. With it’s distinctive Korg M1 organ and shuffling beats ‘Magical Shoes’ instantly brings to mind legendary ‘90s New York clubs like The Sound Factory but thanks to Compuphonic’s production skills it goes well beyond that of simple period pastiche and sounds utterly fresh for 2015, a bonafide club hit that is already peppering the sets of DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Tensnake and The Magician.

As the title suggests the EP’s 2nd track ‘The Sun Does Rise’ is the natural successor to the duo’s previous outing. As deep as the Pacific Ocean this is a trance inducing hymn to hope, music designed to elevate the soul as much as move the body and bring some much needed warmth back to clubland. Expect to hear this played everywhere and anywhere this year where the party goes through the night and the first morning light breaks over the dancefloor.

Recorded in the famous Vantage Point Studios in Antwerp - dEUS’s own recording studio, a special, inspiring moment for Maxime, a lifelong fan of the band - the ‘Magical Shoes’ EP cements his position as one of Europe’s most talented producers and with remixes to come soon on Carl Craig’s Planet E and more original material on Exploited, the future is looking bright for Compuphonic.

The wildly creative posse from Sirens Of Lesbos return with ’Essays Volume 02' - continuing their EP series tailored exclusively for the dancefloor. «The Great Rift» is a musical overflight of the Great Rift – the so called cradle of mankind in the east of Africa. Imagine yourself sitting in a solar-powered, translucent spacecraft, hovering from the highlands of Eritrea to the North of Mozambique. Track two, «Funky Lips Of Timbuktu», is a musical kaleidoscope that melts a beat that is as dry as the Mali desert and funky Sufi lip-singing.

Spanish outfit Lopezhouse kickstarted their young career with ’Mude Tod’ - a quite untypical release on Claude Von Strokes label Dirty Bird. 
With a post punk style/attitude which has been inspired by such iconic sounds as Depeche Mode and LCD soundsystem, and then further refined and mixed with a heavy kick drum and the subtleties of old school Detroit techno - they release their follow-up Single ’See The Line feat. Angela’ on Exploited. The epic track ’Encrypted Name feat. Angela’ features AFFKT as collaborator on production duties and is our secret treasure. Great stuff.

With the fourth Realm Of Consciousness compilation, Tale Of Us shine a light on the artists whose work has shaped their sets in recent times.
There are contributions from Afterlife’s longtime regulars like Recondite, Adriatique, Mind Against, Woo York and Vaal.

The mysterious Aiwaska is back with another masterclass in introspective electronica. Following on from previous Exploited Ghetto outing ‘Medicine’, he treads a similar path of hypnotic sensuality.

A pulsating synth arpeggio propels the track from the first instant, building a hazy chug with its slow-tempo and spacious, subtle percussion accompaniment. Hollow bass tones punctuate as the kicks punch through pristinely. A tortured male vocal that takes its cues from the alt-rock world arrives to bring a dramatic twist, with soft harmonies increasing the haunting feel. Gentle snare patterns add a little more urgency, and a twinkling synth line morphs and undulates around it beautifully. 

A spine-tingling breakdown forces the eyes to wobble and the jaw to gently rotate, before open hi-hats drop in to propel the track forwards. Vocal snippets move through trippy delays as more subtle synth magic weaves in around beautiful chime chords. Wherever you listen to this gem of a track, you’ll find yourself transported to a slightly altered plane, and you’ll feel all the better for it. That’s the Aiwaska way...

PREMIERE : Solique - Aurora (Original Mix) [Isolate]
Buy: https://www.beatport.com/release/aurora/2998417
Release Date : 2020-07-10

From isolation with love… Solique return to build on their incredible debut release on MoBlack earlier this year with ‘Aurora’. Three tracks in weight, landing our way via Istanbul’s Isolate, it’s the duo’s most comprehensive release to date and reveals even more sides to their deep, driving noir sound.

‘Aurora’ sets the scene with its ploughing kick drums and trippy stretch of a sound. Minimal in spirit, meaty in momentum, it’s the sound of a duo who honed their sound and stripes as DJs before they hit the studio. ‘Balanced’ continues the theme with processed percussion ricocheting back and forth as rising chords gently float up behind and ignite a massive arpeggio for the ultimate crescendo. Finally ‘War Of Drums’ brings the EP to an epic conclusion with some of the most dramatic musicality the Cologne-based Austrian / Swedish duo have shown to date. Moving through phases from fantastical to furious, there’s a tension in this that will get hairs standing on every back of every neck in a 20 mile radius. Absolute killer material.

Six months into their first year as recording artists and they’re making waves not even a global lockdown can quash… We’re looking forward to seeing what comes next from Solique

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)
