BBC Radio 1 Danny Howard Premiere: Budakid - No Strings Attached (Tensnake Remix) I Exploited

Midwestern promoter and DJ, Cookin', was first influenced by the sounds of the Detroit area in the early 2000's. During his time in college in Kalamazoo, he started his own promotion company Party Hard Inc, which still produces weekly nights and events around the local college bar area. 
      
      He is currently co-owner of Layer Cake Presents, the premier booking and electronic music promoters of the West Michigan area for the past seven years. With artists ranging from Christian Martin to Soul Clap, Cookin' and Layer Cake have combined the avant-garde electronic sounds with the House music sound they love and firmly believe in. During this time Cookin' has shared the stage with the likes of J.Phlip, Shiba San, Kill Frenzy, Sacha Robotti, Ardalan, and AC Slater, to name a few, at sold-out events in Kalamazoo and Detroit.
      
      Cookin' has developed a sound heavily influenced by the "underground" heard all over the world, as well as by contemporary House music. This makes a fresh and energizing act that captures and is derived from the vivacity of the crowd. Cookin' claims that: "House is a universal language, understood by people all over the world."

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)
