Patience is a virtue, and it’s one that will reward you greatly when listening to Ed Ed’s new stunner for Exploited. Building in a considered and engrossing manner, ‘Love Restraining’ will suck you in, spit you out and leave you a sweaty, elated mess.
A monotone bass groove twangs and rasps over a snappy beat, with a minimal approach to the accompaniments opted for at first. Pitched down vocals add a haunting layer, and deep in the mix a droning techno synth rises and falls. Dashes of scintillating melodic scales work their way into the mix, heavily reverbered into the background. Next, a pizzicato style blip riff passes through the track. Stabs pepper the track with more rhythmic intent, their tails extended here and there to draw them out further and deeper. All the while the shakers shuffle on and the beat and bass keep driving us forward.
A spooky breakdown sees several of these elements fuse and meander into each others paths before we slam headlong back into that bleeping, morse code style riff hammering away over the groove. 7 minutes passes by in a flash; you come to wondering where you are, where you have been, where you’re going, and where the repeat button is.
Berlin-based Ed Ed has also found favour through releases on Watergate Records and Get Physical among others, and last graced Exploited with the massive ‘Riding To Mercury’.

IT IS ALL ABOUT MUSIC 🥷🏿

We are what you need to complete the GROOVE.

I was born in Pervomaisk, Ukraine, in the most conservative family by the standards of the Soviet Union. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess what kind of music sounded in our house. As a boy, my morning began with watching my father's bench press, under Modern Talking, Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson. But when she went to work, the power passed to her mother. She tuned the receiver to her favorite radio wave, from which more melodic motifs poured. They were Madonna, Sandra, Scorpions, E-Type, Army of Love. I think it is this diversity that allows me to love to this day all the versatility of musical directions and styles.

I was 5-6 years old when we moved to Energodar, Zaporozhye region. Perhaps it was there, from a small listener, that I gradually began to become a music connoisseur. It happened when my friend's parents gave her a vinyl record player. We often gathered at her house. Mesmerized, they could watch for hours as the needle rustles on the black, shiny disc playing their favorite compositions. My father supported my passion. So I got my first, my own dvukhkassetnik. And then my first song collections. I still remember how, after hearing my favorite track, I was in a hurry to hold down the cherished 2 buttons for recording at the same time 😀

Nightclubs with an electronic underground sound burst into my life around the year 98. I was about 17, and I was particularly interested in immersing myself in completely new sounds with deeper basses. And the DJ standing at the console was akin to the discoverer of space! Then there were 2 years in the army, after which I moved to Moscow. Here I started visiting local hangouts, which reinforced those first, vivid impressions. I imagined how I could become the same pioneer in this world for someone. A huge, diverse, fascinating world of electronic music.

For the last 2 years, with the opportunity to play at various venues, I have been thinking about the words of a very talented person, artist and presenter Samir Kuliyev: "Music is good living in our hearts!". Gratitude, dancing, smiles, interest and great mood of those for whom I play, the best incentive to grow above yourself. And there is a place to grow. I often recall the recent performances of Solomun and Boris Brejcha at the Moscow Adrenaline Stadium. An audience of thousands, incredible energy, great sound, colorful light show. If you dream, then dream big, otherwise it's not worth starting. This is the level that I think every beginner who is honest with himself and his listener should strive for. What do I need all this for? In any work done, whether it's creating music or working on a mix, the best reward is when your creativity resonates in the hearts of listeners!

For me, the greatest gurus of the electronic scene like Oliver koletzki, Matan Caspi, Solomun have such a response...  Enigma Sadeness - Volto Noon In Frankfurt (OriginalMix). This is something that inspires me every day, and this is the inspiration I strive to share with you. So I'll see you on the dance floor.

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)
