In the 1970s in the UK, while stationary in his car - Gary Numan was browbeaten by a couple of blokes who peered through his window with nefarious intent. He locked the doors, sped away and evaded danger leading him to view the car as the 'tank of modern society'. Add an iconic Minimoog sequence, some Polymoog strings and Numan's robotic vocal tones and we have the cross-continental hit 'Cars' released in 1979. 

Many artists from vastly disparate pockets of the industry have covered, sampled and reworked the original with Nine Inch Nails, Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, Armand Van Helden, Judybats, Hole and Fear Factory being some examples. Now - Laroz presents a rejuvenation of ’Cars’.

With a previous release on Solomun's Dynamic Music, Laroz channels an eclectic array of influences into his music. An adroit instrumentalist with a long history of moving floors, he is perfectly placed to do the original justice. Crisp drums, marble-glazed synth string and the vocal accompaniment of Luis Fernando Chavez are the ingredients and the result is a version that packs sufficient punch for modern dance floors whilst maintaining the spirit of the original recording.

Laroz - Cars | 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)
