Returning to Exploited for another bite of the cherry, Italian duo gizA djs are back.
‘Something Cool’ blends elements of indie dance and nu disco in its loose, warm
feel, with a dash of Italo disco attitude to boot. ‘80s synth pulses set the tone over
live percussion and subtle bass, before a sultry male vocal adds more retro feel to
the proceedings. Classic disco hi-hats drop in as the vocal switches from English to
seductive Italian and big synth chords filter into focus. A sweet arpeggiated lead line
thrusts into play as a Daft Punk-esque electric bassline funks away below. An
unexpectedly wonky breakdown builds tension, setting us up for a colourful finale
where the key elements morph and modulate in a beautiful fusion.
‘Rogue One’ is more of a brooding, atmospheric house affair, but one that comes
with dashes of funk. Tribal percussion intersperses a turgid bass groove as mystical
trumpet loops tease in and out of the mix. A discofied guitar lick bolsters an
infectious, mysterious plucked melody, and imperceptibly the track builds intensity to
a crescendo with eerie pads, heady reverbs, ride cymbals, urgent vocal chants and
judicious use of FX.

Claptone Ft. Peter, Bjorn & John - Puppet Theatre (Superlover Remix)(Clip) | Exploited

First feedback in from Josh Wink, Midland, Massimiliano Pagliara, Solomun, Axel Boman, Dave Aju, Joe Goddard/Hot Chip, Doc Daneeka, Tensnake, Crazy P, Pedro Winter, Erol Alkan, DJ Feadz, Luke Solomon, Llorca/Art Of Tones, Mark Farina, The Magician, Digitalism, Ponty Mython, Toshiya Kawasaki, Snacks and many more.
Composer, skateboarder, synth collector, basketball, burger connoisseur & ex-Chicagoan: That's the definition of James Curd. 
With releases on labels like DFA, Repopulate Mars, Trax, Permanent Vacation, Greenskeepers & Exploited among others - James keeps his output high. 
He has been collaborating with Filip from Daytime Discoact Poolside from LA as well as Chicago Legend DJ Deeon while scoring and supervising movie soundtracks. His music has been remixed by The Black Madonna, Lee Foss and Felix Da Housecat in the past.
James Curd's new record comes with a remix from Red Rack'em whose tune 'Wonky Bassline Disco Banger' was Juno's biggest selling house record and was played out by a long list of leading DJs as it has been decimating dancefloors all over the world since its release last year. 
If you like your grooves funk-fuelled and analog, then look no further than James Curd’s rather glorious triple track EP.

James Curd about his new record:
"One night while I was working in my new studio I got a little home sick because a fest that takes place down the street from my building was going on back home in Chicago. Derrick was playing and I grabbed some of the audio from the end of his set of him talking to the crowd and dropped it into 'I Get Up". "Disco Fool" was one of the only songs I made in a studio I built with an SSL desk before realizing a studio under a club was a terrible idea."

Early Feedback:
Josh Wink: Disco Fool working for me.
Solomun: Thanks.
Midland: Really like this dude! 
Massimilano Pagliara: Nice tunes!
Dave Aju: Nice EP all around. 
Joe Goddart / Hot Chip: Great stuff! 
Crazy P: This is wicked. Lots of plays down the disco-teque from me. Nice one.
Axel Boman: KILLER! 
Doc Daneeka: Nice one Red Rack'em! Feeling! 
Pedro Winter: Full support. Radio & Club play.
Tensnake: Disco Fool and Red Rack’ems remix is nice.
AME: Thanks.
Acid Arab: Like the remix.
Soft Rocks: Cheers lad x 
 DJ Feadz: Sweet. 
Toshiya Kawasaki / Mule Music - Nice remix! 
Mark Farina: Nice work Mr. Curd.
The Magician: Support.
El Txef: Killer! Disco Fool’ya.
Friendly Fires: Yes yes man.
Snacks: Some great funky lines in this. Great package!
Llorca / Art Of Tones: Disco Fool for me. Very good EP from James Curd.
Mixmag: With an impressive back catalogue on Classic, DFA, Permanent Vacation, and his Greenskeepers project, James Curd could not be accused of being lazy. ‘I Get Up (TO DC)’ has a vintage analogue synth, elastic bass, liquid modulating acid, electronic styling’s and sliced vocals. As good as the original is this has been handed to Red Rack’Em to remix and he doesn’t have to stray too far from the original. ‘Disco Fool’ has a walking bass line and an undeniable disco feel with key bursts, smooth pad, freestyle organ, plus chat from Derrick Carter talking to the crowd that Curd sneaked in!
DMC UK: Bringing the funk to 2017, thankyou James for waking the dancefloor groove.
Chrissy/Smart Bar Chicago: Disco Fool is dope.
Private Agenda/International Feel: Fantastic record - into all three cuts here. Will definitely play out Disco Fool in our next set. Really nice Red Rack'em remix to top things off too.

KALTBLUT MAGAZINE PREMIERE:
"These days the attune nature of Compuphonic’s tracks is unmissable, with ‘Metropolis’ effortlessly gliding between the melancholy of melodies, dreamy vocal harmonies, and the grinding energy of beats. If you are awaiting those ‘out with winter in with spring’ vibes, like we are, then ‘Metropolis’ is definitely an EP not to miss."
http://www.kaltblut-magazine.com/sound-of-the-week-compuphonic/

Belgian talent Compuphonic has long since demonstrated a serious knack for melodic sophistication, and this new EP for Exploited elevates those lush sounds to some stunning new levels.

Metropolis is a breezy slice of electronica, detached from the dancefloor whilst still taking some inspiration from it. A dreamy female vocal glistens over fuzzy pads in the intro before muted electric piano chords and the kick join in tandem. Heavenly vocal harmonies glide in the background alongside subtle chime tones, with a filtered down synth arp adding yet another dash of sweetness. The various elements slide and mesh against each other effortlessly, with sprinkles of subtle FX lifting the track in just the right places.

Slow Bilbao is more in the chunky deep house vein, hazy tuned percussion samples drenched in pleasing swathes of noise distortion hit in time with thumping kicks and thick bass tones. A melody unfolds in the higher registers from the xylophone-esque resampled instrument, recalling Bonobo at his best as a shuffling percussive groove develops. The samples bring an exotic tone to the track, with the contrasts between the deeper and more pumping sections an intensely satisfying one.

Berliner-based electronica live act GHEIST put forth two attention-grabbing tracks in their third release for Exploited, enlisting the aid of fellow producer and singer-songwriter Bayker on vocals.

Eponymous track Salvation kicks off proceedings, showcasing a deep tech exploration with late night dancefloor appeal. The original exposes a gradually unfolding piece, boasting a clean cut rhythm section and a methodical, straightforward structure centered around minor chords. 
Last Night In Paris reveals a dark brooding arrangement, as reflective vocals add a layer of mystery to the foundation of pensive pads and warped synths. What ensues is a contemplative atmosphere, that is mesmerizing as it is dance-inducing. 
Venlo is a nice last minute bonus addition strictly aimed for the dancefloor. 

GHEIST kickstarted their young career last year and since then have grabbed attention from DJs and Media all over the place which led into a busy touring schedule including upcoming gigs at Razzmatazz Barcelona, Watergate Berlin, Sonne Mond Sterne Festival and many more club and festival appearances.
Very strong beginning for one of our new acts on the label Exploited.

GHEIST - Last Night In Paris | Exploited

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)
