Danish talent Christian Nielsen's varied sounds fit into the boxes of a wide range of house and techno DJs, and his latest EP for Exploited treads a similarly eclectic path of bad-assness after a recent outing with KOMPAKT. 

'Still The Same' takes its cues from brooding '80s electro pop, fusing it to a deep tech backbone that makes for a perfect compliment. Moody on-beat bass sets the pulse as haunted vocal snippets and gliding synths swoop in sorrowfully. The shuffling, stripped-back pumps into life as delicate arpeggios hypnotise you into submission. Atmospheric swells threaten to envelop the track but are instead restrained in teasing fashion. A nagging rhythmic note adds more urgency, and more flurries of gorgeous synth arpeggiation and wiggling melodics keep the track colourful and invigorating throughout.  

'Now You're Free' centres on a more organic groove, with a shuffling jazzy drumset setting the tone. The vibe is still deep and contemplative, with the ghosts of '90s house vocals and muted jazz trumpet and cymbal rides contrasting against warm pads. Gentle tech percussion bolsters these organic elements and hazy FX make things a little trippy in all the right places. 

'My Love' makes for a perfect finale for this diverse 3-tracker, with head-nodding shakers and woodblocks creating a tribal flavour under acidic bleeps and hovering bass weight. Pitched down, stuttered vocals, swirling low-slung synths and shimmering synths create a cool, collected feel that makes this a lovely little set builder of a track.

'"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)

At 13 Jamie couldn’t mix two tracks together until at age 15 he accidentally mixed two tracks together and remembered the number on the pitch control and practiced with the same records every time he went to the radio station and Jamie honed is skills and before long could mix every record he played even speeding some slow records up from 33 to 45 so he could mix them together . Jamie’s dad recognised his talent and bought Jamie a set of technics 1210s when he was around 16 years old.
Jamie’s mum spotted a advertisement in the local newspaper from a DJ agent called Barry Phillips so he got in contact and started playing wedding nights at pubs and one day did queens court what he loved so Jamie wanted to get out into the clubs where he believed he belong.
Jamie constantly practiced mixing and scratching in his bedroom doing tapes and passing them to clubs and promoters and a blues In chapletown picked him up for around 7 months playing house music and Jamie was also still playing on radio until he got a break at a club called Hi Flyers next to the Queens hotel weekly along side big named DJs including Dave Seaman (Brothers In Rhythm) and even MTV was there at one of the nights and Jamie got a job in a record shop in Harrogate DJING behind the counter playing the vinyl for sale in the shop.
