Hot on the Heels of Prins Thomas' remix, ROTCIV takes Rising Seed´s "Train to Kismarton" to Italo town, adopting only the eerie western guitars from the original, whilst building a wonky 80s sound carpet of analogue arpeggios and punchy DMX drums around it.

Aiwaska's slamming collaboration with LA electro legend The Egyptian Lover ‘Imagination’ gets two hot and fittingly freaky remixes on Exploited from two big ballers.

Ed Banger Records legend Feadz steps up first, teasing us with snatches of the sultry vocal before unleashing one mother one a squiggly acid line and snappy, authentic electro breakbeat. Slipping by turns into a muted 4/4 rhythm, the track delights with phat snare rolls and endless acidic modulation, while the wide panning on the vocal makes it jump out the speakers. String stab chords add a tense undertone, and the acid line gets sprinkled with a distorted synth mirroring its every twist and turn. This will sound HUGE in the club.

Who else to take things up another notch but Detroit booty bass legend DJ Assault? He goes blow-to-blow with Egyptian Lover, adding his own filthy verses and doubling up on the chorus over one of his trademark stripped back bouncing electro beats. Hilarious vocal sound effects / ad libs add to the madness, and his salacious lyrics take the track into a new level of naughtiness. Topping it all off with a mellifluous G-funk style synth line at the end, he’s delivered as only he can.

GLAUCO DI MAMBRO - ASSONANZA

1. Assonanza
2. Assonanza (Inigo Vontier Remix)
3. Assonanza (Shubostar Remix)
4. Assonanza (Deer Jade & Isi Audi Remix)

At the intersection of mystic and electronic we find Assonanza, the latest EP by Glauco Di Mambro. A deep, raw, hypnotic experience, Assonanza is like a tribal acid trip to another dimension.

For this journey Glauco decided to bring along elements gathered on his constant travels around the world. It's a sound that's hard to pinpoint, true to Glauco's unique yet captivating style.

The original track features an exciting blend of live percussion, fruit of his extensive research on Middle Eastern rhythms. Some of the drums used in Assonanza are the Daf, Riqq, Qraqeb, Sagat, Darbuka and Gatham.

The exciting opening track is complimented by an eclectic roster of remixers, each of whom bring their own twist to the ethnic foundations laid by Glauco.

First up is Mexico's dark disco wizard Inigo Vontier, with a worm hole mix of jungle sounds and sinister cosmic features.

Shubostar follows up with her signature driving approach, full of drama and suspense which takes the song in a different, bouncy, direction.

Finally we have Deer Jade & Isi Audi, regulars on the Tulum & Burning Man scene, reworking Assonanza with a powerful dubbed out twist.

With previous releases on the likes of Sol Selectas, Gardens of Babylon, LNDKHN and Desert Hut, back home in Italy Glauco Di Mambro is the Musical Curator and Resident DJ of “The Sanctuary Eco Retreat" in Rome, Milan, Mykonos, Porto Cervo and Ostuni.

His DJ sets have been described as "emotional, rousing, immersive"... a true ritual experience where all genres of music combine and flow effortlessly the way all rivers end up in one sea.

Hooray to the newest associates of the Riotvan family, The Chord Memory Club! And what an initiation it is. They are firing away with Planet Rock-informed Electrovibes that will make you want to get your freezes and powermoves on immediately. Needless to say, there are hi-energy chords all over the place on the A-side „Alpha Juno Love“. A similar rhythmic kink is to be observed on the flip „Accroche-Toi À Ton Amour“ as well, just backed by rather straight four to the floor patterns. On top of that they are serving some cut up synth and vocal garnish, rounding the whole thing off to a delicious little dancefloor cakelet.

Duro is pleased to present "Muy Divas," a compilation curated by international Mexican tastemaker Mystery Affair. Celebrating diversity and freedom, this 8 track glorious journey includes music by the talented bandolera Villaseñor, the chilean and Madrid based Fernanda Arrau, the french Mala Ika, the duo Brolorizo, Argentina's InVertida, the Mexican SÜSS, and the mighty and unique Hard Ton & Urvin June ft. Lilly Escuelita.

The collection of stompers begins with the visionary and groovy Villaseñor's "Emergency Loop." This bouncy and trance-inducing track will transport you to a rhythmic Valhalla. Did anyone mention ecstasy? Next, Fernanda Arrau takes us on a jubilant quest with "Calypso," a Caribbean infused booter that invites you to test your nicest footwork to the rhythm of a pounding Bassline.

Mala Ika amazed us with "Yumis Kopfstoß," a dynamic and turbine geared trance driver, featuring an electrifying bassline and sparkling melodies that twinkle like bulbs in the ceiling. On the other hand, Brolorizo slows down the tempo with "Leave Me Alone," a lush and playful track with a solid bassline and haunting chords that intertwine with delicate vocals, enveloping you in a soft silk you can't escape from.

InVertida takes control with "Retorno," a cyclic, minimalist, and mind-bending track. With its rumbling bassline and breezy synthesizers, this one gets inside your body without warning. From Guadalajara, SÜSS delivers a proper acid techno track with "The Sky Belongs To Everyone," where distorted beats and magnetic tones create an atmosphere that sends you straight to the asylum. Next, Hard Ton & Urvin June ft. Lilly Escuelita pleases us with an instant classic, "Operating Worldwide," a house track with introspective, deep, and sophisticated sounds.

To land off the compilation, we have "Trippy Candy" by pack leader Mystery Affair. It is a percussive, slightly dark recording featuring melting noises and classic stab house elements. "Muy Divas Vol. 1" will be available starting from June 30th on all digital platforms.

After the hallucinate EP "Give Chance A Trance", Moderna and Theus Mago return to Duro with a reissue of their first collaboration work, 'Dog Is Calling You', originally released in 2016 under Chloè’s label, Lumière Noire. The reissue includes the three original cuts and the remix of ‘Dog is calling you’ by Die Wilde Jagd, plus three new remixes by Mexico based artists Mijo & Macaulay, Alinka of Twirl Records, and the Riotvan family Peter Invasion & Gregor Habicht .

The EP begins with the classic "Asesino Sicótico", a booming, dark and insane cut. It's a fusion of techno energy with house music groove. It's followed by "Dog Is Calling You", a slow mix of melted bass, orbital and acidic sounds. To close the original versions is the fan favorite "Papa En Roy", a mixture of classic techno with obsessive and repetitive bass lines, while Moderna's vocals take us on a lunatic journey.

The remix by Mijo & Macaulay of "Asesino Sicótico" is a hypnotic, insistent, and powerful cut. The bass line runs over you while the voice gets lost among synthesizers, pads, and percussion. Alinka surprises us with her version of "Papa En Roy", adding echoes of voices, a liquefying and electrifying bass, distorted percussion, and maniacal synthesizers.

Riotvan friends, Peter Invasion & Gregor Habicht, give us their version of "Papa En Roy", which is a forceful and exciting cut, creating bursts of energy perfect for the dance floor. To close the release is the version made by Die Wilde Jagd, a cut with a reverberated and liberating atmosphere, the drums and bass take you to the climax while the drums hold you firmly in a slow but continuous step.

"Moderna & Theus Mago - Dog Is Calling You" will be available on platforms starting from July 14th.

Blanco’s Valkea Music kicks off 2019 with a statement release that showcases “seven songs, seven stories, seven colours”. Across the fantastic tracks, the likes of Thc, Gianmaria Coccoluto & Luca Vera aka Soul Sonic, Amarcord, Wayne Works and more all contribute their wares.
The label kicked off in 2018 with a limited-edition white vinyl EP from Benny Blanco and set out on its mission to release a wide variety of electronic music with some key remixes also included. It was supported by the likes of Agents of Time, Nick Warren, Trikk, Luca Agnelli and Petar Dundov, and now the label broadens its remit once again with this vital seven track compilation.
Up first is Thc from labels like Three Hands and Chapter 24 with the enchanting and exotic ‘Mille e Una Notte.’ It’s a mysterious house cut with all manner of strange percussion and synths drawing you in. Levo then keeps up the diverse cultural influences with an uplifting, melodic bit of house featuring more authentic middle eastern sounding instrumentals. Next up is Pakkio Sans, an established name in the house world who has released on King Street Sounds and Global Underground. His ‘I Need you’ is a forlorn, emotionally wrought track with pained vocal stretched over sombre beats. A whole host of names including the label boss then link for ’Deep Ethnic’, a scintillating cut with widescreen synths.
My Favorite Robot and Aeon associate Amarcord then mixes up cosmic disco and house music with stepping chord work for his majestic ’Colazione A Mezzogiorno’ and Wayne Works really works you into a lather over eight minutes of acid laced, jacked up and percussive house that is restless and infectious. Last of all, label artists Gianmaria Coccoluto & Luca Vera aka Soul Sonic offer the driving house of ‘Lillo’ with its rubbery bass and spaced out Chicago vibes.
This fantastic package covers plenty of house styles, all with real authenticity and invention.

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)
