For Exploited Club, Alex Medina rolls out 'Ayy Paapi'; a truly singular soundclash that bumps like House and glistens like an Italo whilst also exuding the moxie of Reggaeton. 

Being Spanish born, Medina sought to incorporate his mother tongue into his music. He was motivated by 'the excitement of flirting with some Reggaeton vibes and bringing them to the next level of modern electronic music'. 

Speaking about the specific inspiration behind the vocals, he says 'Ayy Paapi was born on a family holiday with my little daughter Gala calling me papi, papi papi all the time..so I decided to use Spanish Reggaeton vocals to represent my mood as a father‘.

The title track kicks things off; melodies sway through bitter-sweet cycles while a reverberated signal roars out with a gripping power. Sequences, fx and the vocal refrain continue to build an esoteric braid that's guaranteed to linger in the mind long after the parties over. 

'Rompe Disco' follows up with a playful, percussive Breaks / Electro tool. Saw blades slice through a deep-set bass line while more Spanish vocals flower. A striking breakdown lances in and shatters the track with head bending results before accurate breaks lock back in and carry synth-lines and robotic vocals to the end. 

'Espacio Amor' dials in a big room vibe as more mournful chords glide over a straight 4/4 groove. LFOs have synths flashing in expressive strokes before a series of breakdowns form launch pads for bold, arresting drops that are certain send ripples across the floor.

Ben Biron and MeloSun present their twenty-sixth release on Metrica: "A World Without Ego." This title evokes a better future for everyone, weaving an idyllic narrative through a beautiful vocal. This narration is complemented by harmonic majesty, skillfully blending organic and synthesized elements into a hypnotic track. The Accent version is tailored for the dance floor, featuring a solid groove and impactful elements. Twisted synthesizers contribute to a more aggressive vision that intertwines with the organic essence of the original track. Diploids remix offers a deeper perspective on the original version, introducing a more elaborate narrative. An arpeggio stands out, integrating systematically with other beautiful elements, providing an enriching understanding of the composition. Collectively, this release is a beautiful experience, offering three differentiated tracks for different moments. "A World Without Ego" emerges as a musical paradigm that captures the artistic intentions of Ben Biron and MeloSun, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a unique and captivating sonic reality.

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)
