GHEIST return to Exploited after outings on Sasha’s acclaimed Last Night On Earth label and Mobilee Records with more melodic electronic mysticism. The quartet is well known for their dramatic compositions having made Exploited their home since first emerging in 2016.

'Closest Ever' begins with shuffling percussion as a looping synth refrain filters up and shimmies through rapid-fire panning effects. The dreamy indie-dance styled vocal cuts against this incessant melody beautifully, providing the evolving counterpart to its steadfastness. The hovering bass follows the vocal — or vice versa — until we reach a heady breakdown where the synths warp, warble and detune brilliantly to create a dizzying crescenedo. Instead of an explosive climax, everything gets sucked back down when the beat drops, leaving you forever wanting more from this powerful yet restrained beauty. 

'Avalonia' flits between deep hypnotic sections and teasing moments of intensity. Building slowly through unsettling synth and bass arpeggios and deft percussive touches, it truly comes alive once its chord progression unfolds. The undulating bass leads the way as soaring tones bring a triumphant feel, the mood of the track constantly shifting this way and that. It’s a subtle, brooding track that makes for an excellent stepping stone in a set, perfect for when you want to draw focus to a more introspective place.

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)
