In our hedonic pocket of Dance Music, Ali X is an artist that needs no introduction. But for those not in the know, he is part of the vital and vivacious Azari & III; the inimitable group that smacked the scene round its face with tunes like 'Hungry For The Power', 'Manic' and 'Reckless (With Your Love)' in the 2010s.

Having moved from Toronto where the group were based, 
Ali X is now embedded in the hot and heavy milieu of Mexican club culture where he has found the perfect home for his particular strain of brazen, sauce-laden House and Techno.

With 'Mi Dios Mi Amor' he lays out some pacy heat, deliciously adorned with the salacious lyrics of Mexican artist MAFARA. Together, the duo braid flawlessly and the result is a sweat-dripping slice of Techmex.

The tracks bursts out the blocks with a Dance Mania intensity as a stocky 909 beat slaps under truncated vocal cuts and sharp, stabbing bass line. A stage is set for MAFARA who struts in with infectious aplomb. The vibe is electric – an immaculately produced workout that oozes Ghetto flair, perfectly capturing the heat and intensity of Modern Mexican parties.

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)
