@andrekronert - Face It (Step Recordings)

Words by Gil Scott-Heron

''America provided the atmosphere for the blues and the blues was born
The blues was born on the American wilderness
The blues was born on the beaches where the slave ships docked
Born on the slave man's auction block
The blues was born and carried on the howling wind
The blues grew up a slave
The blues grew up as property
The blues grew up in Nat Turner visions
The blues grew up in Harriet Tubman courage
The blues grew up in small town deprivation
The blues grew up in big city isolation
The blues grew up in the nightmares of the white man
The blues grew up in the blues singing of Bessie and Billie and Ma
The blues grew up in Satchmo's horn, on Duke's piano and Langston's poetry, on Robeson's baritone''

After his well-received “Ingrediente Secreto” EP on Me Gusta Records, Brazilian producer Seed Selector scores another hot release, this time on Sabiá, a rising – and shining – electronic music label based in the beautiful city of Natal, in the northeast of Brazil. In “Papel”, Seed, in partnership with young producer Art Popper, widely explores his House Music influences and brings to life two insightful versions of the title track: the introspective Into Mix and the bouncing Original Mix. On the remix duties, Petty Touches and Felipe Reis brought the game to their own realms and came up with two spot-on interpretations.

Premiered here, the original is a sharp dance-floor filler. If not a peak-time banger – not every track needs to be one –, “Papel” is definitely a must-have for the fans of high-quality Deep House out there. Its crushable bassline, atmospheric synth lead, and punctual vocal hook deliver an upbeat and mesmerising cut with a smooth acid gait.

In sum: The result of the first collaboration between the Paulista artists has undoubtedly left a “gostinho de quero mais” in the air. Kudos!

Istanbul-based and Soul Clap Records and Fools’ Gold artist Zeynep Erbay delivers two beautifully melodic tracks for Exploited which draw on her classical piano training and eclectic tastes.
‘Dream Of You’ begins with phasing chord pads swirling around a hypnotic spoken vocal, with twangy bass and driving Italo beats soon bursting into life. Stuttering synths build the melodic progression before a glassy lead line chimes in with a gorgeous, fluffy melody that forms the heart of this glorious track. Halfway through, old skool house style electric piano chords trade places with the lead to provide a soaring mood switch, with more fizzing melody and great use of delays and snare, tom and kick fills to keep things moving.
‘Disillusion’ is a touch deeper, with a pleasingly phasing bassline pulse underpinning melancholic chord changes played out by beautiful, crystalline arps and deft chords. Shades of classic progressive house creep in as acidic gurgles rub up against spacious delays and vividly morphing synth sequences. It’s a super-classy piece of work that brings with it a real sense of emotion and atmosphere.

Madrid duo Depaart return to Exploited Club with a trio of slick, acidic cuts with a real air of sophistication about them.
‘And You’ juxtaposes phat bottom end with twinkling acid resonance, dreamy pads and a bold ‘80s synth motif that shimmers with crystalline edges. Dashes of counter melody ring out through lush poly synths as the arrangement ebbs and flows effortlessly. Trippy touches and a dreamlike edge to this brilliantly contrasting piece of work.
‘Buzzline’ rocks an ‘80s electro breakbeat, with a fittingly sparse arrangement that has its roots in Kraftwerkian bleepage. Sonorous bass reaches the parts other low ends can’t as a wiggling 303 melody bubbles up. An 8-bit hook is pushed into the distance with a tight reverb, providing a nice contrast to the drier percussion. The different elements all interweave in perfect lockstep, evolving harmoniously in unison to create a highly atmospheric workout.
Plump analog bass pulses underpin ‘Ufo Trip’, giving warehouse vibes as trippy ringshifting and delaying sends shards of frequencies shimmering around your head. Flecks of guitar cut against the electronic tones gently, and percussion and pads are sparingly used to build a subtle tension.

And You

Welcome to the 12th edition of our ongoing Breaking New Soil series, featuring both new and established talent once again. First up is our good friend Harvey McKay, who graced the label last year with his seminal „Forest“ EP - his new track „Borderline“ is another trademark Harvey production, guaranteed to set dancefloors on fire! Next up we have Phyrgian from Colombia. Gregor played his track „Tarot" in almost every set last year, so we are very happy to have him on board with „Mansalva“, another über-hypnotic Techno excursion - imagine to hear this at a dark, packed warehouse rave - pure fire! Next up are Mario Hammer and The Lonely Robot - known for their eclectic releases on Traum and Cocoon. They handed in „13 degrees“, remixed by Harald Björk. It´s one of those tracks that - when dropped at the right moment, will take dancers on a journey and leave them with a smile on their faces. Last but not least we are very happy to have some original music by Lad, who is know in the business as one of the finest mastering engineers. Hailing from Geneva, he surprised us with this phenomenal Techno track, that takes no prisoners but will start a riot on the dancefloors for sure. This is Breaking New Soil!

Exploited Rec promises to strip the wallpaper from the walls of your home stereo.
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)
