If ever there was a record that showed that Acid House oozed soul as well as off kilter funk 'Lack Of Love' is it. I've featured this personal edit in my sets for the last few years and it always goes down a storm.

(Official release date: 15.03.2024)

Diskjokke is back with a future disco extraordinaire two-tracker on Oslo label badabing.diskos... 

His musical works since 2006 includes escapades on Prins Thomas's ́Full Pupp ́, indie label ́Smalltown Supersound ́, minimal house label ́Kindisch ́ and the legendary norwegian space house label ́Luna Flicks ́. His three superb album releases and remixes of indie acts such as Metronomy and The XX has certainly made his mark on the scene, always led by his complex, weird and wonderful take on club music; melodic and cinematic, but always with house clubs in mind. Diskjokke has played everywhere from Panoramabar Berlin to Space Ibiza and Liquid Room Tokyo. 
́
Hear no evil ́ is an electro funk house banger, where tention is drawn from minimal dub disco randomness, heavy on the 2 ́s and 4 ́s, to the reliefng melodic patterns that makes the classic Diskjokke-sound. Dubbed out disco house from planets yet to be found. 

This EP brings a completely new take on club music, although honouring its inspirations from funk, disco, dub and house in its finest ways.

7 grand housing auth - love's got me high

Play It Down brings together many of its veteran artists for the 100th release, which, in the current incarnation of the label, will also be its last.

A word from Jesse Rose:
“It’s been an amazing rollercoaster of a ride with Play It Down and when asked why I would stop releasing in its current incarnation the answer was obvious. I’ve always been very involved in the A&R process of all the releases. I’ve always felt confident to tell an artist if something should be taken out or added because I have spent (near enough) every weekend for the last two decades in a club, listening and playing House music. I would test the demos in my sets and know automatically what felt right and what felt wrong. If I’m not playing in clubs it wouldn’t feel right for me to tell someone who is playing shows every weekend how their record should sound. And ultimately, Play It Down for me has been about finding music I've wanted to play in my sets. So for the minute it’s a massive thank you to all the artists, fellow DJs, supporters, club-goers,
distributors, journalists, radio presenters, interns, promoters, bootleggers, and to Laura (who has worked day-in & day-out overseeing near every part of the label for the past five years) for letting us come up with dreams that all of you have helped make a reality.
This Play It Down 100 compilation album of original tracks brings back all the current roster to collaborate and a few tracks written solo by some of our key artists. It was a very enjoyable process to see what they would all come back with.”

Homework - unlike their lower case counterpart that serves as the agony of school kids everywhere - are responsible for shaking up house music in a big way in 2010. Calling their “Fissa Tune” EP on Exploited Records a “breakout record” might be an exaggeration because it’s hardly the duo’s debut. However, the title track showed a comfort and skill for transforming a Romanian traditional oboe song into a full body shakedown jacking house track adorned with guttural yelps, and “I Got One (You’re It)” loops a warm soul diva vocal into the kind of siren song that could seduce any kind of dance floor. It was one of those EPs where you couldn’t even choose a favorite because they’re all so good. Following it up with an equally heralded EP on Made to Play and a big, wild, often unexpected remix package on Exploited, Homework (comprised of Zip &amp; Tom) succeed in something many other people haven’t lately; making dance music that’s equally satisfying for your feet and brain. With a full schedule of international gigs (including Berlin's Panoramabar) and top remixes in the pipeline (Round Table Knights a.o.), Homework provide a unique and diverse sound and guarantee serious business behind the decks. As a teaser for their next EP on Exploited, to be released in February 2011, we present you with "Lenny", which takes Lenny Kravitz’ seminal track “I Belong To You” and turns it into something infectiously catchy. Whether its "true revision" or “the ’stick a kick drum on it!’ philosophy”, Homework have taken a commercial hit and turned it into something so lush that maybe even Larry Levan might have played it out. They took those 90's sentiments and rearranged them to be retrofitted in this era; pure revisionist nostalgia. Although in the end, it’s all about the way it makes you move.

Homework - Lenny

Exclusive: Alan Dixon - Edge Of Forever (Prins Thomas Diskomiks ft. Bugge Wesseltoft)

After its annual summer break Correspodant around label-head Jennifer Cardini is back and starts the new season with a four tracker from Alan Dixon. His Edge of Forever EP comes with three originals and a Diskomiks from the maestro of the genre Prins Thomas ft. Bugge Wesseltoft for the title track. The rework from Thomas M. Hermansen, Prins Thomas' real name, and pianist Bugge Wesseltoft is a groovey homage to summer season, to a better time, to hope and freedom, to music and the joy and the lust of life it evokes in people. Dramatically perfectly arranged the Diskomiks comes with a crunchy housey beat which is shortly enriched with a funky bass line melody that, in the course of the track, sets the base for the piano. The latter holds several tonal arrays switching between lower and higher ranges that are stretched over 10 minutes and 20 seconds. But those are a dramatically and musically a symphony over several octaves, split in multiple chapters and held together by the combined genius of these two artists. 

Alan Dixon's EP Edge of Forever will be released on Correspondant on September 25th, 2020.

EXCLUSIVE: Alan Dixon - Edge Of Forever (Prins Thomas Diskomiks ft. B. Wesseltoft) [Correspondant]

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)
