Italian master, London based Stefano Ritteri takes centre stage for the latest edition of Shir Khan presents Black Jukebox — number 32 in this illustrious series. This one is a chiefly electro-flavoured affair, joining the dots between the genre’s past, present and future across four slick tracks — with a dash of garage at the end.

‘Slow Tripping’ is a homage to the charismatic boogie sound of the early ‘80s, resplendent with beautiful melancholic melody and a wistful air. As the name suggests, the lazy beat perfectly compliments the array of dreamy sounds, and there’s a definite nod to French disco/electro/hip-hop fusions of days gone by.

‘Donna’ is a collab with Mytron (Bordello A Parigi, Multi Culti)which continues the chuggy theme, its gently swaying synth arpeggios and unhurried beat recalling some of Soulwax’s more pared back material. Its simple arrangement is kept engrossing with synth automation and subtle atmospheric touches.

‘Brutesque’ strips things back to an almost minimalist approach, where twanging, monotone sounds slowly morph over a taut backbeat and a variety of bleeps and blips. With its spoken word sounds and Krautrock-ish mixture of sounds, it recalls the work of Public Service Broadcasting.

‘Robot Love’ takes its cues from the sweeter side of 2-step garage, bubbled down to a more laconic pace. Cute melodic refrains and big reverbs adorn the stuttering rhythm to make for a colourful, atmospheric, reflective track.

LOSING IT

psychedelic cult of Multi Culti.

Tel Aviv’s Red Axes are one of the most exciting new acts in dance music, with rich sound that is musical, deep, trippy and organic, while remaining precise and lethally effective in the club. The range in their sound is impressive, their talent unmistakeable. They are one of our favourite artists of the year, and this latest record is one of their best yet.

After his first year of travel, Dogs & Vultures Records returns to compile some of the best artists of the scene in his new release. Some of them premiered for the first time, such as: Montessori, Yan Wagner, Daniel Gregori, Zakmina or Csk. And others that repeat because they are already part of the family, such as: La Decadanse, MontCosmik, Vox Low or DYOR - Dig Your Own Rave among others.

A carefully selected compilation with sounds from all over the world and very special surprises in his content, such as the collaboration between La Decadanse and Yan Wagner covering the Gary Numan classic - Are Friends Electric? with the owner's permission.

Pre-order

PRÉMIÈRE: Zakmina - "Leviosa" (Original Mix)[Dogs & Vultures]

We are happy to present the second and last ep with remixes from the great sophomore Undo album "Motas de Polvo". This time remixed by the likes of Fairmont, We Are Happy Here and Maurice Aymard.

Fairmont's remix of "Motas de Polvo"is a clear prove of his class at the controls. He delivers an epic remix giving more energy, new beats and melodies but respecting a lot the original.

We Are Happy Here are Nhar and Jennifer Cardini. His remix of “Whispers” is deep, warm and sexy. Including Jennifer's vocals, dark beats and subtle percussions.

Maurice Aymard is the man behing Galaktika and Apersonal labels. His remix of “El Crit” gives a house feel that fits really well to the original.

Thanks for listening!

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)
