PREMIERE : DJ Jan - Give Me Luv (Club Mix)

Bizzarro Universe put their own spin on Justice’s iconic *D.A.N.C.E.* with a powerful hybrid edit. The track keeps the magic of the original alive with an epic vocal break, while layering in a punchy house bassline that’s twice interrupted by a gritty UK-style bass riff. Add a spiraling acid synth on top, and you’ve got a high-energy rework that moves dancefloors without losing its nostalgic charm.

We’re excited to welcome Osccurate to the label with his debut 3–track EP. A release that captures his sound in full, each track leans into a distinct trance-infused NRG while keeping a subtle, refined edge. We have been big fans of Osccurate’s work for a while now, so we are very happy to put this out to the world.

The originals are joined by three remixes from CLOSE PROXIMITY, Oliver Scala, and Boudi. Each one reshapes the material in their own way, adding new perspectives to round out the EP.

CLOSE PROXIMITY is a London-based electronic duo formed by producers Frank Brady and Demack, uniting under one alias to create a focused and immersive club sound. The project emerged from their long-standing collaboration within London's underground scene, particularly through Volition - the record label and event series founded by Brady and developed in close creative partnership with Demack. CLOSE PROXIMITY represents a distilled evolution of their individual solo work: emotive, progressive, and built with the dancefloor in mind. 

Blending elements of progressive house, proto-house, trance, and techno, the pair draw inspiration from iconic acts like Underworld, while infusing their productions with a modern, high-fidelity edge. Their music is driven by thick basslines, soaring pads, and a dynamic sensibility that captures both tension and release. From late-night warehouse sets to headphone journeys, CLOSE PROXIMITY's sound thrives on motion and emotional resonance. 

Their next single, 'Be Free,' drops September 5 via CONTR4ST, offering a bold, melodic slice of peak-time energy that captures the duo's wide-ranging influences and refined production aesthetic.

Hamburg based Bizzarro Universe are a duo who have conjured the cosmos into releases on Bordello a Parigi and Exploited Club. 'Planetary Groove' was their debut EP for Exploited Club; a nod to the 90s that is now taken in 2 fresh directions by Herr Krank and auspicious producer AUTOFLOWER.

First up is Helios label head Herr Krank who braids Trance, Acid and Italo into a dizzying revision that does a fine job of channeling 90s euphoria whilst delivering something very fresh indeed. Shuttering synths and a vibrant acid line tag in and out while a serrated bass line gives the low end a stylish bite. Drums are quick and boisterous and the energy effervescent as the track powers on like a current of energy: fast paced and coursing forth with irresistible kinetic momentum.

Nijmegen based AUTOFLOWER then steps in, keeping hold of the euphoric torch across a powerful take that marches with a purposeful intensity. Drums are potent and crunchy, churning away under an electrifying synth lead that gradually opens up before a double drop that will send the floor into giddy rapture, capping off 2 different but equally effective remixes.

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)
