'Between Stars' is the debut album from Barcelona based Venezuelan producer and DJ Maurice  Aymard. More than two years in the making, 'Between Stars' has been a labour of love for Aymard as he  travelled the globe to collaborate with musicians and singers in Barcelona, Berlin, London and  Venezuela who could help to bring his vision to life. 
 
Released on Aymard's own Galaktika Records (Garnica, James Teej & more), 'Between Stars' was  recorded entirely live and features contributions from the likes of Brazilian star Gui Boratto, Columbian 
singers Andrea and Paulo Olarte, Argentian guitarist Mariano Godoy and many more, the resulting  album takes the house music template and expands it to a grandiose level. 
 
In an age when anything that isn't packed full of buzzsaw bass and 'sick' drops gets labelled as Deep  House, 'Between Stars' is the real deal, and from the first bars of the albums opening (and title) track, 
'Between Stars' quickly establishes itself as something truly special, a 'house' album that not only works  as a coherent whole but sounds as good at home, by the poolside or in a club at 4am.  
 
If 'live' house albums have in the past had a tendency to verge on the polite, Aymard's skill as a  producer and experience as a DJ keeps things rooted in club culture and nearly every track off 'Between 
Stars' deserves to find its way into DJ sets over the coming months. Rather than smooth things out the  live instrumentation instead adds an energy to the tracks and the subtle touches, that the likes of  guitarist David Rondón brings to 'El Final', lift the album up to another level altogether. 
 
Since moving from Venezuela to Spain and launching Galaktika Records, Aymard has become an  integral part of the European house music scene. With releases on the likes of Berlinʼs Moodmusic, Hamburgʼs Einmusika and Denmarkʼs Tic Tac Toe Records, and remix credits for artists such as Mario  Basanov, Compuphonic and Combo, Aymard has built a reputation for delivering quality underground  house music and with his debut album Aymard looks set to secure his position as one of the scene's most innovative artists.

Luv Shack Records is kicking off the year 2015 with release # 15 - another blissful split EP, this time featuring Hard Ton and Daso, as well as Nick Anthony Simoncino on remix duties.

German producer Daso, who has originally emerged from the german techno scene, delivers two stunningly atmospheric pieces of modern disco on the flip.

First there's "I Seek", a dense and ever evolving synth driven disco track, with strong references to 80's pop and italo, whilst easily maintaining an original and modern feel.

Luv Shack Records is kicking off the year 2015 with release # 15 - another blissful split EP, this time featuring Hard Ton and Daso, as well as Nick Anthony Simoncino on remix duties.

Italian house music lovers Mauro and Massimo aka Hard Ton started off with two releases on Dissident in 2009, and have since then become the go-to production team for authentic acid driven vocal house with a classic touch.

Their first track on the EP ,"You Made The World Go Round", is a destinctly dubby slice of vocal house, complete with sultry stabs, piano and a catchy synth bassline.

"Keep It Closer", the second Hard Ton production, is a densely intstrumented house track with an array of chord stabs, hovering strings and a powerful bassline - tied together by Massimos intimate vocals.

Nick Anthony Simoncino tackles "Keep It Closer" to a darker place, tightly embedding the sparse vocals in a carpet of analogue strings, pads and bells - all driven by a percussion heavy drum machine beat.

German producer Daso, who has originally emerged from the german techno scene, delivers two stunningly atmospheric pieces of modern disco on the flip.

First there's "I Seek", a dense and ever evolving synth driven disco track, with strong references to 80's pop and italo, whilst easily maintaining an original and modern feel.

"Your Room" takes a slightly moodier approach, but still sounds very melodic and uplifting throughout its 8 minutes of detailed synthesizer arrangements.

out on vinyl & digitally in February 2015.

Label: Exploited 
Artist: Claptone 
Title: Night on Fire 
LC: 15799 

EXPLOITED presents one of the fastest rising stars of the last 6 months - the mysterious Claptone. 
Their second release "Cream" has achieved astonishing chart success (Top 10 Beatport Hit "Cream" / Top 1 German Club Charts / Top 7 Resident Advisor Charts). 
"Cream" has been snapped up for numerous DJ-mixes, Miami and Ibiza comps. 
With a fast developing reputation for production and DJ skills seemingly beyond their short career, this is a talent too good to miss. 

"Faceless stars aren’t exactly a new phenomenon in the world of electronic music. In fact, anonymity is the hallmark of some of the scene’s biggest artists—take Daft Punk, The Bloody Beetroots, and Burial just for starters. Add Claptone to the list, as this unidentified combo hit the world of disco-tinged deep house hard this spring with their cover of the Wu-Tang Clan classic ”Cream." The tune climbed up the Beatport charts and made its way onto the hard drives of star DJs including Tensnake, A-Trak, and Matthew Dear. Their latest, “Night On Fire,” which drops June 11th on Beatport, promises similar results by borrowing Jim Morrison’s most famous verse and wrapping it in brooding keys and swaying disco rhythms.

But where the Exploited act stands out, besides having a penchant for covers, is in their videos—each one suggesting a taste for B-movie artfulness, like an 8mm film version of iamamiwhoami‘s HD enigma. Factor in Claptone’s press photos, a golden bird mask that mashes up The Knife‘s preferred facial wear with MF DOOM‘s metal face, and you’ve got a mystery so intriguing, you hope it never comes unraveled."

John Talabot  So Will Be Now Club Revision

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)
