Former Beatport and Juno Records #1 artist Budakid’s back on Exploited with another two sublime productions. Heady tinges of melody greet us from the first second on ‘Phantonym’, the groove building in a gentle afro/tech vibe with woodblock rhythms and shimmering hi-hats. Pretty riffs abound over a subtle bass of low-register pads and the driving, throbbing bass and stab groove. Dreamy arpeggios dance dazzlingly in the higher echelons of the track, leading the way to a blissed-out breakdown and another delectable synth refrain that chimes in time with the groove. Beautifully crafted, delicately poised, and goosebump-inducing. ‘Pizza Pizza’ is as tasty as it sounds. A more groovy affair than its accompaniment on this release, it whisks together discofied bass with an unusual stuttered lead riff and magical atmospheres that create a glowing, warm feel. Tambourines provide the main percussive propulsion, and hazy sampled chords add to the cosy soundscape. ‘Pizza Pizza’ is a collaboration with Budakid’s buddy El Zárate who is a new face on the scene.
Budakid’s been on fire recently, getting asked by Hot Since 82 to remix Nick Curly for his Knee Deep Recordings label, Moscoman and by Frankey & Sandrino for their Sum Over Histories label, and scored a Beatport No. 1 with Matthias Meyer on Watergate Records. That’s not to mention releases on Disco Halal and upcoming
collaborations with more hot talent...

A legendary figure within the underground dance scene, Savvas has been involved in electronic music for three decades. A veteran of the DJ circuit and a production career dating back to a 2011 debut, the Greek artist has been a familiar sight on the likes of Anjunadeep, The Purr and 3rd Avenue. A trio of remixes for Proton Music have seen reworkings of Erdi Irmak, Rick Pier O'Neil and GMJ as Savvas now releases his debut EP on the label with "Reminisce".

A sonic triumph with a beautiful melodic narrative, the title track lilts enticingly along its 9-minute journey with a delicately flowing lead line. Beautiful piano phrases add to the sonic tapestry as breathy vocal and complementary motifs create a stunning work. A rolling rhythmic groove and deep kick provide the backdrop for "Momentum" to continue the rich melodic atmosphere as free-flowing lines and subtly plucked guitar themes resonate gently. Through a beautiful combination of counterpoint phrasing the track oozes class and craftsmanship. Characterised by a glorious broken beat rhythm, "Reflections" harkens back to a bygone era of progressive breaks as sublime melodies flow, juxtaposed to a chunky rolling cadence. Full of delicate touches that evolve and blossom over the 6-minute piece, the track hypnotises with a repetitive sonic beauty that culminates in a powerful woodwind sequence post breakdown.

A Proton Music newcomer, RIGOONI is a much sought-after name. After a 2018 debut, the Brazilian artist quickly went on to see his music signed for a host of blue-chip imprints. February 2020 marked a notable highlight as "Serenade" appeared on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, swiftly followed by remixes for Meanwhile, Particles and the beautiful "Petrichor" as part of "Anjunadeep Explorations 17". Supported by the DJ elite of Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Warren himself, the RIGOONI remix of "Reminisce" is a gorgeous interpretation that glitters around a light percussive backdrop and thumping kick. Making intelligent use of original components, new melodies flow from the seeds sown by Savvas into emotive new sequences and mesmerising patterns. Pausing for breath at the breakdown, additional chord progressions ebb through the third movement to create a distinctive and breath-taking new remix.

An artist with a rich musical heritage to his name, Vridian combines elements of melodic techno and deep house to create a vibrant and distinctive sound. A recognised DJ across his Indian home, Vridian's production career has seen him sign his work to such celebrated labels as Manjumasi, Qilla Records and Dream Culture. Returning to Proton Music after an impressive 2020 reworking of Soulwerk, Vridian initially swaps the chunky broken beat of Savvas' original with a subtle rolling groove and subterranean kick. Building elegantly, a shimmering breaks pattern enters the fray as an immaculately syncopated bassline sits perfectly between to create a sublime dub sound. As the free-flowing melody of "Reflections" meanders through proceedings, gently pitched dub keys pitch effortlessly into the second half to create an innovative sound.

A musical triptych combined with remixes from RIGOONI and Vridian have given Savvas plenty to "Reminisce" about.

Paul Losev makes his return on 90watts after the release of his 'That Time' single earlier this year, and his remix for Hansgod a year ago. The US based producer also calls labels such as Where The Shadow Ends, Manual Deep and Be Adult Music his home.

If this double A-sider would have been released on vinyl then 'sex on wax' would have been the right description without a doubt. Paul's ability to write smooth and emotive songs clearly shows on the opening track 'Verticals'. 'Not Meant To Be' is a little bit more rough around the edges, especially in the second part of the track, but remains true to Paul's core signature sound.

Two warm cuts to keep you warm during these cold winter months.

I'm back with a new track, called 'Forgotten Memories'. This is the slowed version of the track (83%).
'Forgotten Memories' is infused with a melancholic foundation, weaving a sonic tapestry that evokes deep feelings of introspection and longing. It features dark elements that add a haunting quality, enveloping in an atmospheric depth that resonates with vulnerability.

Forgotten Memories (slowed)

A surge of movement where each spark breathes with radiant force, rising and dissolving in waves of pure momentum. The pulse expands uncontrollably, yet retains a beautiful precision, a balance between chaos and clarity. Energy becomes language: fluid, infinite, and alive in all directions.

PREMIERE: Savvas - True Voice (Original Mix)[Keyfound Records]

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)
