The six piece collective claims to have its Kibbutz somewhere in the Aegean Sea. Sirens Of Lesbos aka SOL (Sun in Spanish) have a serious, noble goal: They want to spread mantras – musically uplifting and spiritually meaningful songs that inspire you to embrace life in all its forms; that make you dance in your fantasy or in the real world. Their acclaimed debut single «Long Days, Hot Nights», is not only a balearic ode to the spirit of summer, but can also be seen as the first deep breath of a game-changing meditation. Om. 

American Men’s Fashion Magazine GQ recently picked the track as one of the best 25 songs of the summer 2014. From Ibiza to beyond – it is an amazing start for this unknown act from Greece who call their sound “Fantasy Music” and dedicate this record to DJ Alfredo – master of the Balearic Beat. Watch out for these 2 new remixes by Claptone & Fred Falke and the outstanding official music video filmed by Canada and directed by Nicolas Mendez (who shot the the video for El Guincho - Bombay & Battles - Ice Cream feat. Matias Aguayo and was nominated for best cinematography in a video at UK Music Video Awards 2011).

Berlin based enigma Claptone has just announced to the world that a new remix of Gregory Porter is coming out soon. The Grammy award winning Jazz vocalist is probably one of the coolest people walking the planet with his incredible presence and god given voice. Who else but Claptone could do this voice justice on the dance floor!?

Joyce Muniz is Artist of the Week at Beatport:
https://www.facebook.com/beatport/videos/10154944403403193/

With a string of club-focused hit records on Exploited Records, the Vienna-Berlin based DJ and producer Joyce Muniz has been a driving force in European dance music since exploding onto the scene over a decade ago. Muniz, whose roots stretch back to Brazil, released her debut ’Made In Vienna’ last year, bringing together a wide array of global talents.
This year she remixed DJ Hell on Gigolo (to be released soon), produced a track for english electropop singer-songwriter Little Boots, contributed a mix for Paul Simons legendary Graceland album from 1986 (inspired by his recordings in South Africa collaborating with African artists) and has an EP on american label Culprit coming.
On her new single ’Mushroom Disco’ for Exploited, Joyce is going all electro disco! Guess what! 

Early Feedback:
Arthur Baker: Electro Clash. Black Strobe Style.
Chloe: Good track. Will play.
Kry Wolf. 6 AM Biz. 
Yuksek: Nice. 
The Magician: Loving it. 
Mixmag: ‘Mushroom Disco’ has sincere disco chords, ethereal echoes, shimmering synths, soaring pads, subtle percussion all glued together by the catchy bassline. This is not a main room banger but a track that will have longevity oozing classiness and will be well placed moving from warm up to the mid part of an evening.

THUMP: 'Back in 2007, the born and bred Berliner Shir Khan began Exploited, a hybrid record label boasting an impressive roster of artists, and a heavy, deep house sound. Eight years later, Exploited is a staple in the music libraries of underground house fans worldwide. It's an exciting time for the creatives behind the brand, as their name has expanded to include Exploited Ghetto, a sub-label that promises the same bouncy club tunes the project was initially founded on. 

DEEPHOUSE AMSTERDAM: 'The German house label Exploited, which is known for great releases and great parties alike, has announced the release of a new sublabel, according to Mixmag. Exploited, the magnificent label from Berlin, can surely be called one of the leading labels of contemporary house music. With a string of excellent releases during the past few years, the label is now branching out into Exploited Ghetto. The new sublabel will focus on bringing new acts into the scene. Much of what the label does will be focused on one-off releases, from people yet not in the Exploited roster.‘


FAZE MAG: 'Exploited avancierte über die Jahre zu einer der ersten Adressen im Bereich zeitgenössischer House Musik und diente Künstlern wie Adana Twins, Claptone oder Doctor Dru als Sprungbrett zu einer steilen, internationalen Karriere. Aber auch Shir Khan selbst profitierte vom Hype um sein Label und wurde so im Zuge dessen zu einem global gefragten DJ. Wenn es um deutsche Houselabels geht, ist Exploited schon lange kein Geheimtip mehr. Mittlerweile hat sich das Berliner Imprint zu einer stetigen Erscheinung in Charts und Plattenkoffern avanciert. Nun steht mit Exploited Ghetto ein Sublabel an.

Early support from Osunlade & Laurent Garnier...
'My Rail' world-premiered by Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1>>> http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09xj211

Ossie’s career to date is somewhat of a microcosm of the London electronic scene over the last decade. Emerging in the buzzing, innovative post-dubstep scene, he released two EPs of broken beat electronica through Kode 9’s superlative Hyperdub, Detroit techno flavours on Lightworks, and then moved into the UK house underground with releases on Wolf Music, 2020 Midnight Visions and his own Super Cali label. His eclectic output and diverse influences make him a vital producer, and this second EP for Exploited after 2017’s Milk delivers another three tracks of dancefloor gold.

We Mad is a pumping house workout, flexing with weighty garage bass and percussive grooves, while discordant keys play out a tense refrain. The powerful, politicised vocal speech and snippets of diva wailing are used to great effect, lifting the already highly energetic track up another level. My Rail goes in a more heads down direction, with a driving low end groove pummeling away beneath disorientating string cut-ups. Channeling vintage Kerri Chandler, it’s a relentless workout for when you want to keep things rolling. From Reece strips things down to basics, with a tight, snappy groove and sumptuous 808 bass tones working away under a pitchshifting hip-hop vocal sample creating a vibe that’s not too dissimilar to the early golden days of Switch. Mellow keys and a warm meandering synth soften things up as the track progresses.

With support for his music from the likes of Benji B, Gilles Peterson and Annie Mac and appearances at Sonar, Lovebox, XOYO and Boiler Room, Ossie is one of the most exciting names in the new skool of house music.

First Feedback:
Osunlade: Nicely done.
Laurent Garnier: Superb 3 tracker - full support from me.
Radioslave: Thanks for the promo.
Rainer Trueby: Loving the Ossie sound, tight beats & sweet harmonies...
Sasha: Very cool.
Mat Joe: Dope!
Iron Curtis: Danke sehr!
Russel Yallop: Wicked producer.
Gene Farris: Thanks.

Phil Weeks Feat. Ladybird - Mary Jane (Teaser)

“I love the synths on this record, so warm – legendary voice Ursula Rucker sounding exquisite – Marquis Hawkes, really love everything he brings as well.” Annie Mac (Radio 1 – 15th June) 

Marquis Hawkes has today shared the first track from his forthcoming EP, ‘Don't U which features vocals from Ursula Rucker’, due out on the 29th June on limited run 12" vinyl as well as digital and streaming services. The lead single will also feature on his upcoming second album, set for release later this summer and with more details coming soon, it will follow his critically acclaimed debut ‘Social Housing’ from the summer of 2016, and a string of releases on Will Saul’s AUS Music label. 
 
Lead single ‘Don’t U’, an intuitive high-energy club track that wears its heart on its sleeve, features American spoken word artist and activist Ursula Rucker who captures a moment of divine elevation on the dance-floor. The EP also features three more dance-floor focussed, DJ friendly remixes from Hawkes himself.
 
First emerging as Marquis Hawkes in 2012, after being sought out by the founders of Glasgow label Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, and having previously been heavily involved with the free festival soundsystem culture, the London born artist’s iconic sound has taken shape with the influence of house and techno from cities like Chicago, Detroit and New York alongside the UK’s underground dance scene.
 
Back with a bang, ‘Don’t U’’s effortless marriage of classic slamming house and grittily soulful optimism is sure to become an instant dance-floor epic, which will pave the way for Hawkes’ much anticipated second full length later this summer.

After their last successful vinyl EP "Amazeballs", The Cheapers digitally spin it again. 

No pounding beats are hiding behind the big headline "Hammer Time", more the familiar scurrile house sound that Fraenzen Texas and his buddy Ruede Hagelstein have screwed together. 

Furthermore: the title track "Hammer Time" is a collaboration with their British friend and movie maker Siuol Poetry, who also made their latest video "To Late" on Bar25 Records. In this case he added discreet rap-lyrics which give the track a slight hip-hop charm. 

"Every July" then grooves on 120 bpm in epic length- partially crowned by a lovely string ensemble. Last but not least a remix by dOP who took The Cheapers all time hit "Hey Victor" to task, ensouling it by adding new vocals and instruments.

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)
