Budakid is back on Exploited with a charming 2-tracker that exudes confidence and style. In 'Milestones' - which is the title track, he catched up with the highly talented vocalist 'Bad Actor' whose voice mesmerizes and hijacks your attention. Channeling early ‘80s ‘new pop’ (Simple Minds and the like) in a modern way with its vocal stylings, signature glitching sounds, soaring synths and realistic rolling bass. A sequenced melody descends and ascends in perfect harmony with the indie-ish low end and with some stadium-sized leads coursing through the veins of this expansive-sounding production, it’s like stepping into a time machine.

‘Graph The Jeff’ goes deeper and prettier with a sound that harks back to vintage electro/house flavours. Overflowing the stunning melody, it immediately stuns with its filtering, detuned 8-bit chord riffs fizzing away over thick, deep bass and spacious percussive rhythms. A dreamy melody coated in a gentle film of white noise rises from the depths in the breakdown, rhythmically in step with the chords but bringing a lighter counterpoint texturally. It’s a heavenly track that will leave you feeling more blissed out than a sunset gong-bath.

Hey, ich bin David und auch ein Teil von dir. I’m just a newbie and on my way.! Say or Stay!

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)
