With SIAMESE020 we have come full circle. Shiffer, our good friend, Siamese family member and co-graphic designer with Adrian Schweizer since almost day one, has created his most personal release to date. This EP has been recorded during a challenging time in his life and reflects the journey through profound variations of human emotions. Remembering his very first production 'Drunk on Hope' on our initial Anthology release, we're proud to see how Patrik's music evolved into such a genre-spanning array.

The title track 'Black Ballad' illustrates the proverbial tunnel but also the light at the end of it. For us this opener hits the spot right where tears of sadness and joy meet. It's filled with Shiffer's uncompromising grooves and basslines, gently touched by a sublime melody.

'Her, Endlessly' and 'A Deeper Understanding' are two beautifully crafted tracks we love to play during longer sets. They perfectly lead the crowd into a state of mutual trust and sincerity. 'Her, Endlessly' is more on the house and instrumental side of the spectrum, while 'A Deeper Understanding' is a bit darker, moodier and more trippy.

'Memento' is almost industrial sounding, heavy and yet hopeful, possibly even resembling early Burial releases, so creative and powerful. I remember Adrian Schweizer telling me to drop everything and that I should listen to this immediately. Five minutes later this track has been signed.

When it comes to music I personally enjoy the most, 'Moorgarten' is right up there, an unexpected composition with a familiar vibe. This track actually motivated me to do a whole playlist of this kind of music - trip-hop at its finest. You could even argue this pays tribute to some of the great hip-hop instrumentals from the 90s. Listen to some of these and you know where I am coming from.

All in all a diverse, unique and very promising record that opens up a new chapter in Shiffer's musical path and lead him anywhere he wants to be.

Enjoy!

Italian duo gizA djs arrive on Exploited with two absolute barnstormers in their hands.

‘Jelly’ begins life in a beautifully Balearic fashion, with resplendent strings gliding over a languid beat, and haunting, melancholic melodies bringing the emotion. A stark bassline arrives, signalling a taste of what’s to come, and finally a 4/4 beat slams in to provide the energy, while gentle pads pulse dreamily. The track builds and builds to a powerful crescendo where the bassline morphs into an off-beat pulse, creating a classic ‘80s hi-NRG feel, and a soaring lead melody provides some camped-up euphoria. Feel-good music at its finest.

“I remember when Tiziano sent me the first part of the project with the harmonic part” says Gian. “I was dazzled by that strange synth reminiscent of a synthetic vocalization. From there I built the bassline and the track magically took shape in a short time. The track is a hymn to a carefree life...“

‘Euforia’ kicks along at a higher pace, with a bubbling bassline leading the charge from the first second. Just as colourful and charismatic in its melodies, riffs and choices of synth sounds, it packs a lot of energy into its four-minute lifespan. With a little nod to ‘80s video game music, its bold lines and vibrant feel make for another fist-pumping ride.

With a classical musuic education in his back and the vision of harmony-laden dance music in front of his eyes, up-and-coming producer Holly North set out for a voyage of discovery. Driven by the wind of inspiration he crossed from the world of Melodic Techno to the realms of Deep House and followed the trancy lure of the sirens. Here's a first impression of his Odyssey, which is the title of his forthcoming debut album. Also aboard is Mollono.Bass with his epic dream of a remix.

After a long blackout, in the quietness of quarantine, “Long way home” was the first track created out of the 8 piece album. A world we had known was forever changed, “Long way home” was a sort of recognition, a scream of longing for normality, while basking in the freedoms of a new imagined magical world.
Before the duo even had a name, long way home had already set the tone for the first album of Husa & Zeyada and became a launch to a whole new concept exploring themes of solitude, alienation and a dive into the darkest corners of our subconscious.

Journey

Premiere: Birds Of Mind - Inside Your Head [Kindisch]

Birds Of Mind end their year with ‘Journey’, a magically mellow new album on Kindisch.

Birds of Mind is made up of Paris-based duo Alex H. and Adrian C. Alex studied filmmaking in NYC and picked up a passion for electronic music while traveling the globe. He now spends half his year DJing on the island of Mykonos and is inspired by being close to nature. Adrian was born into a Venezuelan family of classical music artists, studied the violin and piano at the Conservatory of Paris then made his way into musique concrète. Together they compose music that is electronic but nourished by the exploration of organic sounds and ancient chants. Birds Of Mind will return to Get Physical in 2022 after debuting there in 2019, but before that comes this immersive new album. It is a spiritual, peaceful and loving record with a very natural presence.

'Birth Of The Phoenix' opens up with four minutes of ambient pads and swirling, wordless vocals that are immediately soothing. The deliciously deep and delicate 'Mindgame' sinks you into a heartfelt house groove, and dubby cut 'The Tree of Knowledge' is embellished with intoxicating vocals, found sounds and plenty of natural sonic details. 'La Maison Bleue' is clean and elegant, with celestial melodies lifting your spirits before cosmic ambient piece 'It's Me' brings lush layers of synths to take you ever higher.

The second half of the album plays out with the floating grooves and expressive Spanish vocals of 'Wing Flapping,' romantic late-night house and deft instrumentation of 'Dropping Seeds of Life' and the melancholic lullaby that is 'Inside Your Head.' Deep bass and intoxicating jazzy sax define the supple 'The Void Between Us' and 'Finale' closes down with gorgeously optimistic chords, cosmic motifs and glassy melodies that beam down from the heavens.

‘Journey’ is a perfectly escapist listen from two talented artists

PREMIERE: Birds of Mind - Dropping Seeds Of Life [Kindisch]

Zurich's King Ben brings some smooth and sophisticated house sounds to two new tracks on Kindisch.

At one time, Ben was Switzerland's youngest DJ having secured a gig at the legendary Sputnik Radio aged just 13. From there he has developed his own signature deep house sound, rich in melody and with plenty of fresh grooves. He has promoted numerous parties back home and held residencies in places like Silo and Zoo Club. He has landed on the likes of WAYU, Bar 25 and this label before now and makes a welcome return to kick off his 2022.

Up first is the stylish 'Un Verre De Rosé,' an eight-minute symphony of cuddly synth work and wispy chords. Wordless vocal coos deepen the mood and daubs of melodic colour rise and fall like lava in a lamp. Add in the soft and seductive grooves and you have a brilliantly hypnotic track.

'Autumn Leaves' is just as exquisitely designed but with a more brooding mood. The drums stand taller, with rubbery synth sequences rising up and down the mix next to melancholic pads. There are deft details all around, from the subtle vocal wails to the woodblock hits via the warming sub-bass.

'Un Verre De Rosé' proves Ben is a master of escapist house music for quiet hours and cosy dance floors.

Istanbul duo @departmusique mark their Kindisch debut, serving up a fantastic musical adventure with their Childish EP. 

Batu Boris and Omeria describe themselves as a blend of two souls with different perspectives coming together to make something fresh. As artists, they constantly try to push boundaries with their uniquely characterful visions. They have so far served up grooves full of rich emotions on Sol Selectas, and these two new tracks make another step up. 

Things open at a sensuous tempo on 'Childish,' allowing the elastic bassline plenty of room to breath and hypnotise. Deft chords are warm and humid, and a light scattering or percussive sounds and synth motifs flesh out the grooves as melancholic vocal sounds hint at heartbreak. 

The brilliantly absorbing 'Two Shine Brighter' closes things out with deep and cuddly drums. Prickly synth modulations bring texture, and spoken word vocals make the groove all the more intimate as it rolls on. This is candle-lit house for cosy dance floors that appreciate musical subtleties. 

These are two hugely personal and meaningful house tracks from this fast-rising duo.

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)
