BBC Radio 1 Premiere by Pete Tong for 'Tentacles'.

'Tentacles' premiered in Dancing Astronaut:
"At this point, it's certainly not breaking news that Berlin label Exploited is a global powerhouse in electronic music: Everything the label touches seems to turn into dance music gold. The label continues to push ahead in 2016 with no signs of slowing down, presenting two huge collaborative tracks from Berlin-via-Helsinki producer Kiki." (http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2016/02/premiere-berlin-label-exploited-unveils-latest-kiki-tentacles/)

'Paradise' premiered in Earmilk:
“ 'Paradise' has this ominous but intriguing build up that introduces a hypnotic array of sounds, complimented by looping vocals to give it that extra flair to catch your attention. With the help of Boot Slap to provide his own style, creating this concoction of a track that has this heavy yet soothing buildups that work will for any dazed dance floor in need of a getaway."

Speaking Minds - Who The Fuck Cares (Christian Prommer Remix)

Early support by Maceo Plex, Guy Gerber, Catz N Dogz, SIS, Steve Lawler, Erol Alkan, Laurent Garnier, Booka Shade, Agoria, Huxley, Laura Jones, Jozif, Lil´ Tony, Patrice Baumel, dOP, Patlac, Pezzner, Ralf Kollmann and more.

Kiki, the Finnish architect-turned-dance music producer is no stranger to most of us. With an impressive discography and a smartly composed sound, the BPitch Control long stay made his Exploited debut last year - a collaboration EP with producer Joyce Muniz. Now Kiki is back with a solo single on Exploited and we are more than excited. 

June 2014: Kiki at Sonar in Barcelona at a Rooftop Party. Suddenly the world seems to stand still.
People stop dancing, open their mouths and point at the uprising Supermoon.
It is blood red and looks much more like the planet Mars than a moon. A magic moment!

Shortly after this incident, Kiki travels back to Berlin - still impressed by the images in his mind - and writes within minutes the melody for his new track he dedicates to the Supermoon.  

Not long after this, Kiki gets to Sabaudia in Italy, near Rome, and tests his finished track for the first time on a beach party during Full Moon. 

Back in 2015 - Exploited proudly presents you Kiki’s Supermoon - which comes in 2 versions. It’s a kind of magic! 

First Feedback:

Maceo Plex: Thanks for the music! 
SIS: Top!
CatznDogz: KIKI is always good. Will play both.
Laurent Garnier: Nice deepness - will play for sure. 
dOP: Big rave track!

Jozif: YES PLEASE!!!!!! Supermoon Orig is lushenss!!!
Lil´ Tony (Innervisions): Hitting hard!
Patrice Baumel: I really love Supermoon, it's a very catchy repetitive synth hook that stays with you long after the track is finished - timeless. I feel that the track would have been even more elegant without the bass synth counter motive, maybe an idea for a future remix. 
I'll definitely play this. Thank you very much for sending it to me and congrats for a job well done!
Robbie Akbal: Great stuuf man.. for sure will play both mixes, especially feeling a lot the Revisted!

Machino feat. Al-B - Lineas Rectas (BAAL Remix)

♬ Full Article ♬:
http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/full-premiere-baal-lumen-original-mix

One of the most promising new acts coming out of Germany, the fresh taste of deep house and techno on their first EP "Metamorph" earned the duo support by DJs like Solomun, DJ Hell and Tale of Us. This signature sound, as well as their new live show got them the “Munich Act Of The Year” award of the Sueddeutsche Zeitung in 2014 and an invitation to play “Pinakothek der Moderne”, one of the most important international museums for modern art and design.

ow, Baal are back with a new six track ep, "NOAH". Of it's 6 track unfolding narrative, we exclusively premiere 'Lumen', a track voted number one unreleased track at NSV Worldwide.  This one is a driving, haunting number, featuring stabs, echoes, and synths to maximum sensory affect.  It is one for dark rooms, late hours, and open minds.

BAAL - Lumen (Original Mix)

Full Premiere: BAAL - Lumen (Original Mix)

We are proud to introduce you “Kitties On Trance”, the first mixed compilation with all exclusive tracks, never released before. Coyu and Suara’s team selected a bunch of great tracks of pretty big artists from the scene (eventhough a lot of them do not know it, they do trance, too) and Olivier Giacomotto selected 12 of them for a 83 minutes journey plenty of many trance styles: house or techno, but trance; deep or vigorous, but trance; acid, dark, fun, mellow, but trance. To complete this amazing work, Olivier did two exclusive tracks, one of them produced together with Kiko.

But, what is the definition of “trance” for Coyu? “For me trance is Frankfurt, it is Harthouse, it is the 90s. But...also today, in 2015, it is Dixon, Adam Beyer, Tale Of Us… Trance is not just a style but a state of mind. Trance is spirituality, it's a piercing, poignant and boundless melody, it is escaping from your comfort zone. That's why we want to put this feeling in the place where it deserves - it's time for Kitties On Trance."

At this point, it's certainly not breaking news that Berlin label Exploited is a global powerhouse in electronic music: between releases from masked man of mystery Claptone, a steady stream of fresh new talent and excellent overall curation from label bass Shir Khan, everything the label touches seems to turn into dance music gold. The label continues to push ahead in 2016 with no signs of slowing down, presenting two huge collaborative tracks from Berlin-via-Helsinki producer Kiki.

BBC Radio 1 Essential Tune Pete Tong: Kiki - Tentacles feat. Jadele | 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)
