FACEBOOK : www.facebook.com/claptone.official
TWITTER : twitter.com/Claptone_

Early Support by Solomun, Tensnake, Maxxi Soundsystem, Agoria, Tube & Berger, Peter Kruder, Rainer Trüby, Animal Trainer, Mathias Schaffhäuser, Betoko, Justin Jay, Villanova, Betoko, Phonique, Waifs & Strays, M.in, Monte, Daniel Solar, Copy Paste Soul, Michael Reinboth.

Check those brand new mixes by Claptone & Simon Garcia for Kyodai's summer track 'Music Rises Up feat. Stee Downes'. 'Continuing the year with a stream of fine releases Exploited deliver their next masterpiece. Kyodai are a Spanish duo currently residing in Berlin and with the help of one of our favourite vocalists Stee Downes theyve produced a track that has summer dance floor filler written all over.

Theres a sense of emotion running throughout Music Rises Up with its deep piano chords instantly pulling on the heart strings, rhythmically rolling snares and a punchy kick combine perfectly with glistening pads to add to a wholly magical feel to this vibe. We obviously cant forget Stee Downes vocals which have transformed so many huge tracks over the past few years, Lovebirds Want You In My Soul and Audiojacks Tunnel Vision to name but a few. Stees voice suits the track down to a tee with his softly delivered soulful range and eloquent song writing abilities.' (Words by XYST)

'Music Rises Up' is available in 2 different club versions by Claptone & Simon Garcia now. While Simon Garcia is going all deep, Claptone keeps the vibe of the original mixing it up with those typical Claptone elements.

Multiple plays by Pete Tong on his BBC Radio 1 show over the last 5 weeks and in the Top 10 Beatport Deephouse Charts after 1 week. 

Early feedback by Arthur Baker, The Magician, The Rapture, Huxley, Riva Starr, Anja Schneider, Bonde do Role, Oliver Koletzki, Tensnake, Digitalism, Karotte and many more. 

"Claptone is a man of mystery. Of course there are countless anonymous DJs hiding behind everything from angry-face cardboard boxes to giant cassette tapes. But Claptone takes the enigma game to the next level—not only does he flit around in a gold, pointy bird mask straight out of G-Force: Guardians of Space, he also claims to embed an entire "universe of secrets" into his sounds. Not sure what that means... maybe spectogram images a la Aphex Twin? Also, in an interview from earlier last year, he said certifiably batshit stuff like, “Over the years I’ve learned to affect every being on earth and to synchronize the noises and sounds (they produce). With my magic wand I now bring to life a universal orchestra and direct the world’s unique soundtrack.” Which is… awesome?" (Vice Thump) 

Actually, we think it’d be pretty chill if he took the reigns on the “the world’s unique soundtrack” and made it sound a little more like this velvety, floor-shaking, party-starting, spooky, hypnotic house track GHOST he delivered us on the back of a singing Alec Ounsworth from Indie Rock Band CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH. 
More house magic included on track 2 UNITED. Feed the bird.

The 2 Bears - Not This Time (andhim Remix)

We had the honour to have one of our favourite acts remixed by Exploited mainstay Claptone. The Original Version of 'I'm Aquarius' can be found on Metronomy's recent album 'Love Letters' and is a cocktail of lo-fi synths and clipped, nocturnal rhythms. Now Claptone added some of his magic which brought us to this catchy result made to be played out in the clubs. With friendly permission from Because Music.

Artist: Metronomy 
Release: I'm Aquarius (Claptone Remix)

Maxxi Soundsystem's next release will once again see the Brighton producer hook up with vocalist Name One.

So In A Way

Six months have passed since the last Konspiracy in April, returning now with Kittball’s most famous sampler on the 12th edition. Seven absolutely exclusive and individual originals by some new, but also familiar artists have been selected carefully to fulfill the highest musical standards. Starting with Veerus & Maxie Devine from Italy over Angelo Fracalanza & Spuri from Brazil, the German representatives of the sampler are Dayne S & Rick Großmann, Dry & Bolinger, Bombay Traffic and Masch + Yuko on a collab with Roland Clark. Lots of “Fresh Blood”, introducing Timo Garcia from the UK rounding it up on the same title for the perfect Konspiracy!

Bombay Traffic - Roll Jordan (Original Mix)

Monday (Finnebassen Remake)

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)
