EXPLOITED PODCAST #36: Mickey

Brooklyn Based Accessory Designer and Music Producer : FangSway [ricky wolfe] @sound.is.sacred 

Raised by his Mexican grandfathers guitar and the disco/funk from his parents, ricky started with a solid platform from which all his musical tastes and influence forth came. 

Summers spent listening to his uncle’s rock band practice in the back shed of his grandmother’s house learning music while mentally cataloging instruments and grooves for later use. Cues from Led Zepplin, Beastie boys, Sugar Hill Gang, and James Brown alike. 

His productions inspiration comes from artists like Armand Van Helden because “..nothing he ever makes sounds alike, I can hear Flowerz and then Phunk Phenomena and have no clue it came from the same persons flow, I reference Deadmau5 as an example. You’ve heard one of his —you’ve heard many”

He says he was sent here to ‘blur the lines of this world’ and you’ll sometimes catch him wearing a skert riding a bicycle around New York. His sound maintains this quality as he explores the vibe or remix but with the flavor of 

Although a selector he has never adopted the term DJ for what he does stating “I wish the crowd and the speakers were in such a way that everyone was facing the music, whether it’s the selector or the dancer everyone’s vibin..”

At first with CDJ-200’s in 2005 only mixing he’s played tunes opening for friends’ house parties then waking up at 6AM to do a mountain bike race, or OV7 and rooftops in Manhattan and Brooklyn

.Good Vibes Only. Solo las vibras buenas.

The revolution will not be televised, but it will be spun. Among those insurgent fingers at the controls are the fresh and funky digits of Free Con.

From the humble age of eight, Free Con set the pace of his life and others with his rhythmic drum beats. Wielding the sweet drum sticks of funk, Free Con would soon occupy all the musical realms; Soul, Jazz, Rock, Funk, Latin and beyond. No groove would escape his unquenchable appetite.

When Free Con grasped a hold of a pair of Technics 1200s, he became elevated to a position of transcendental powers of musicality. A true crate-digging addict, Free Con has taken his gospel of funk to The House Cafe---where he opened for The Coop; Darkroom Chicago--where he raised funds for Mass Frequency; Otto's Bar--where he cleared the way for LoBounce and many other enlightened events at The Bar 10 Doors.

But, always a man of the people, Free Con moves with impunity into basement clubs and bumpin' subs of the 99%, where he spreads his booty-shakin', pop forsaken funkology.

All mixes recorded as one continuous, live take using 2 Technics SL-1200M3D's, a Pioneer DJM 800 and recorded into Serato Scratch Live.

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)
