Aiwaska’s status keeps growing from strength to strength with every release. He has recently been remixed by the likes of Patrice Bäumel, Tensnake, Audiofly and Jenia Tarsol, and with collaborations with the likes of The Egyptian Lover, Robert Owens, Starving Yet Full (Azari&III) and Idd Aziz, his tracks are always full of life and attitude. For this hot new single, he teams up with Circus Company artist Aquarius Heaven for a salacious bomb.

From the most simple of elements you’re immediately hooked. A throbbing kick, tom and woodblock groove sucks you into the track, with Aquarius Heaven’s warped, twisted-sounding vocal soon adding a dramatic feel. Stuttering hi-hats continue the ‘80s acid house percussive feel, but they’re soon augmented by a tight closed hat and phat claps. Pulsing monotone bass cuts through the track as dark pad tones rise in and out of the mix. The debauched vocal hook fits the track perfectly (“Fuck it baby, I’m dirty”), adding a seedy feel as heady synth blasts pepper the mix.

There’s not a melody in earshot in this moody track, and none is needed. The interplay of different atmospheres, morphing textures, subtle percussive twists and expert production make this an absolute juggernaut of a track that blends techno, house and electro references. Weapons-grade material.

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)
