Bonnie Spacey's sound is one characterised by unique contrasts and combinations with a root interest in organic instrumentation and a keen interest in the deeper shades of Disco, Techno and Electroclash being melded effectively in her productions and DJ sets.

Now - the french born and Berlin based maven encapsulates her knack for cogent contrasts across a heated 2-track EP for Exploited Club that weaves between Samba, Disco, Italo and House.

'Samba Disco' stamps a dominant foot on the floor as ripe, sturdy drums provide a stout foundation for pitch shifting delays and a searing hot synth climb. The vibe is arresting and highly spiced as the track continues to charter ever-elevating altitude in a manner that makes it easy to picture decadent dancefloor chaos.

'Light Shadow' follows up with a no-nonsense House groove that glows lucent with richly layered keys and an effortlessly sexy vocal. As is the case with the track's counterpart, the sounds are thick and palpable and the mood is intoxicating.

Chords burst with colour while pitch bending soars and energy courses towards a head-twisting breakdown that sends out more voltage to the floor and marks the closing chapter of an electrifying record that bears a distinctly Bonnie Spacey sheen.

Premiere: Panthera - Fallen [Polaris]

Sincopat is excited to present a fearless return from Cabizbajo, solidifying his position at the forefront of Mexico’s electronic music scene.

The release opens with “White Eyes,” where Cabizbajo crafts a hauntingly hypnotic groove that pulses with energy and ethereal tension. This track exemplifies minimalist design, with each sound carefully chosen to draw the listener into a moody and immersive experience.
Next, Waltervelt offers a reinterpretation of “White Eyes,” taking the original and transforming it into a spacious, dub-influenced groove. This version unfolds with deep atmospheric pressure and elegant restraint.

The journey continues with “Hive Mind,” a cerebral, percussive exploration of collective consciousness through rhythm and texture. This track is raw, precise, and irresistibly physical— ideal for the darker hours on the dance floor.

Club Kids closes the release with an ode to rave-era rebellion: punchy, stabs in a track that oozes charisma and club nostalgia while staying undeniably forward-thinking.

Enjoy!

INCOMING : Dina Summer - Promise Me feat. Curses (Boys' Shorts Remix) #IptamenosDiscos
Release date : 28/05/2025
BUY :  https://bfan.link/promise-me-boys-shorts

After the wild success of Dina Summer’s first bouquet of remixes from their latest album Girls Gang, they return with fresh cuttings.

First up are Boys’ Shorts—the Greek DJ/producer duo comprised of Vangelis (formerly of LAGASTA) and electronic artist Tareq. The pair have toured Europe and the US, performing at some of the most renowned club venues such as Berghain and E1. Their hyped, dance-ready sets blend elements of disco, slow techno, and acid house into a unique and distinct sound.

They take Promise Me and rip it from its roots as an early goth, coldwave track steeped in archaic gothic romance, then prune and propagate it into a futuristic house track—replanting it in a digital dimension. Boys’ Shorts use the chorus as the core element, and as Curses’ luxurious, decadent vocals unfurl, they spruce it up into a dance edit with shimmering snares, a bouncier bassline, and 4/4 drum patterns reminiscent of the Roland 808.

Released on Iptamenos Discos as part of the Gils Gang Deluxe version.

Captain Mustache & Mel E. Logan & Drop Empowering New Anthem "Pen Weapon"
Following their previous collaborations ("Mentally Naked" and "Good Weather Girl"), Mel E. Logan (formerly of electro-pioneers Chicks on Speed) and Captain Mustache reunite for their latest sonic gem—"Pen Weapon."
A happy, melancholic tinged celebration of artistic empowerment, the track champions the unifying force of language and creativity—proving that words and music can forge bonds stronger than the weapons industry and the oppressive systems running rampant today.
With lyrics like “Hold me friends, I got your back / A curtain falls, take a look—it hung from a tiny hook,” the song reminds us that even seemingly unshakable structures can be toppled
departure from CoS:
Mel E. Logan steps boldly into her solo era, teaming up once more with Captain Mustache for a track that’s as uplifting as it is rebellious.
"Pen Weapon"—out now—is a call to arms (or rather, pens!) for unity, resistance, and the transformative power of art.

Captain Mustache - Pen Weapon feat. Mel E. Logan

HYPERFIXATIONS vol. 1 is the debut compilation from Portugal’s forward-thinking label Ritmo Futuro, showcasing tracks they’re obsessively drawn to—music that demands attention and lingers long after the party ends.

Curated by Rick Offen, this first volume captures the immersive state of sonic hyperfocus, where rhythm overtakes thought and music becomes pure sensation—like the trance-like focus of Formula 1 drivers.

The compilation spans hypnotic minimalism, percussive intensity, and futuristic textures—each track a moment of deep, instinctive connection.

Mel Souler - Transmutation [RITMO FUTURO]

Jannowitz Records once again pushes boundaries with its latest Indie Dance release, a collaborative gem from MMYYLO, SNYL, and David LeSal. This tracks are a hypnotic blend of dark groove, retro flair, and emotional depth—seamlessly fusing analog synth textures with crisp modern production. From the very first beat, the guys builds a cinematic atmosphere, driven by pulsating basslines and airy pads that nod to the golden age of synthpop, while still feeling fresh and club-ready. MMYYLO’s signature melodic tension pairs beautifully with SNYL’s rhythmic sensibility, and David LeSal rounds it out with subtle but powerful sound design that keeps the energy evolving throughout the track. There’s a sense of storytelling in this release—it’s not just danceable, it’s immersive. Perfect for late-night sets, festival sunsets, or introspective solo listening, this release adds another strong chapter to Jannowitz’s ever-growing catalog of genre-defying dance music. Verdict: A beautifully constructed journey through the darker shades of Indie Dance—emotionally charged, rhythmically tight, and endlessly playable.

SNYL -  I Remeber Those Nights (feat. David LeSal)

A highlight of their recent debut EP for Eskimo Recordings, Kate Stein & Lord Fascinator's Asteroid saw the psychotropic duo take us on a joyful joyride through the cosmos, its melodic synth-pop and trance inducing disco finding a hitherto unguessed at sweet spot somewhere between Spiritualized and Lipps Inc. Too much fun to keep to themselves our LA based duo have invited the likes of Aeroplane, Eli Escobar and BĘÃTFÓØT to join them on the trip and add their own touch to the track before it burns up on re-entry.

First up is high flying Belgian producer and DJ Aeroplane, who returns to Eskimo 15 years after the label released his acclaimed debut LP.  Responsible for some of the most iconic remixes around, you know you're in for a good time with Vito at the controls and he once again delivers a masterclass in pairing indie vocals and pop melodies with chrome plated disco beats and sky high synths. The result, a joyous celebration of love, chemicals and chemical induced love, sure to echo out over festival fields this summer.It's always a good sign when you see Eli Escobar's name on a track's credits and the NY producer has been delivering killer remixes for the likes of Lana Del Rey, M.I.A. and Honey Dijon for well over two decades now. Stripping Asteroid back to just the vocals and slowly but surely building it back up from there, Escobar delivers a killer synth-heavy house track for when you want to reset the vibe in the club and take things to the next level. It's set to a slow burning fuse but when it all kicks in this Asteroid explodes like a firework.Finally, taking time out from drumming duties with Red Axes Udi Naor slips into his BĘÃTFÓØT alias to deliver a frenetic, peak time remix of Asteroid. Throwing everything from pummelling martial drums, rave stabs, urgent synths and pitched up vocals into the mix, Naor's remix burns through the sky like a particularly wildly piloted UFO, a sci-fi synth stunner with all strobes set to stun.

Biography

Dancers in the dark

Exploited’s semi-regular “mini compilation” series continues, with Shir Khan collecting together a highly eclectic quintet of new cuts from the label featuring Nathan Ball & SevenDoors, Radiophobia, Kraak & Smaak, Athlete Whippet and Aklay. 

1. Nathan Ball - Right Place (SevenDoors Rework)

Premiered by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08tb8p8
https://soundcloud.com/exploited/bbc-pete-tong-premiere-nathan-ball-right-place-sevendoors-rework-exploited

SevenDoors is a producer and DJ from the deep within the depths of the ocean from the abyss where music consist of tonal strings. He calls his style ‘Sound of the Whales’. Sometimes it's dark, sometimes punchy, emotional or seductive. 'Right Place' is a track which was originally written by Nathan Ball and now has been transported to the dancefloor by SevenDoors. The track was premiered in his BBC Afterhours Mix for Pete Tong and finally sees the day of the light. 

2. Radiophobia - If You Ever Change Your Mind

Defined by their unique, experimental sound rather than an excessive fear of radiation, the affliction for which they are named, Radiophobia released their debut release ’Can’t Stop Believing’ on Exploited in late 2015. Inspired by a variety of genres, from minimalist techno to retro acoustic and 70s inspired vocals, the secret project’s offering ’If You Ever Changed Your Mind' is a catchy, melancholic, psychedelic dance tune. 

3. Kraak & Smaak - Hendo

Premiered by Jason Bentley at KCRW, LA in morning show 'Morning Becomes Eclectic":
https://www.kcrw.com/@@playlists?host=&channel=Simulcast&date=2017/06/20

The Hendo track came about after a long period of working on last year’s Juicy Fruit album material. As is often the case, creative juices flow slowly for a while, but then, all of a sudden, there is that spark again. With the upcoming Ibiza season in mind this track rolled out quite quickly, an autonomous club tune that will be available just in time for Summer dj sets all over the globe. What does it sound like? Think the quirky Scandinavian disco sound meets Kraak & Smaak. A staple track for everyone's record bag this Summer.

4. Athlete Whippet - 3am

Featured in RA new tracks section:
https://www.residentadvisor.net/tracks/861962

Athlete Whippet is disks & dance duo formed of Squareglass co-founders Aviram Barath and Robin Paul Braum. Since their debut in September 2016 the Peckhamer’s hazy sun-kissed House found love by DJs worldwide including Scuba, Bicep, Laurent Garnier, Rob da Bank and Tom Ravenscroft as well as support by BBC1 & 6 and XLR8R, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, Delicieuse Musique and Thump. With a good hand for remixes, the duos releases have come with reworks including Dekmantel’s Awanto 3, Lobster Theremin’s Ross From Friends, Brownswood’s Simbad and Horse Meat Disco founder Severino. A quick start to 2017 has already seen the Whippets release two singles and curate one of the main stages for Peckham Rye Music Festival which they will be sharing with Teki Latex and Ian Pooley.

Aklay - Return Order

Aklay - Return Order | Exploited

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)
