Betoko began working on "I’m a Gin" 18 months ago in the renown Red Bus Recording Studios where George Michael, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Tina Turner, Jocelyn Brown and Imagination themselves have all recorded and where Betoko produces his work today. 
 
Betoko's idea behind "Im a Gin" was to revive the original retro-funky Imagination vibe.  "Im a Gin" contains elements of the authentic track using those same stems from the original; and produced by Betoko in the same studio where Imagination originally produced all of their tracks, they and Betoko used the same compressors, keyboards and console creating the highest sonic quality sound.

Track Title: Lead Me Home 
Release Title: Schneeweiss II presented by Oliver Koletzki
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No.: SVT120
Release: 29.11.2013

Over the years, Oliver Koletzki has continuously cited Berlin as a point of reference and, more importantly, a source of inspiration. Two of his albums – Großstadtmärchen and Großstadtmärchen 2 – have been a direct ode to the capital. Friedrichshain, one of Berlin’s vibrant districts, has always held a special place in Oliver’s heat. This is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now. Moreover, the Stil vor Talent HQ is situated in the centre of the bustling Kiez. 

So is Schneeweiss, one of Friedrichhain’s best and most loved restaurants. Over the course of eight years, the stylish eatery has impressed many a Berlin foodie with its contemporary take on alpine cuisine and attention to detail. Music is part of the experience here, which is no surprise due to one of the owners’ extensive background in Berlin’s club scene of the early days. Pairing striking award-winning interior design with a homely laid-back atmosphere, Schneeweiss welcomes everyone with open arms: Kiez locals and celebrities, students and businessmen, hipsters and families – all can be found here, Oliver Koletzki among them. 

Thus, after many a late-night label dinner an idea slowly formed. Why not join forces and collaborate on a compilation that represents both, Oliver Koletzki’s and Schneeweiss’ taste? Compiled specifically with the restaurant in mind, SVT120 convinces as a tasty treat for the music connoisseur and a musical treat for the culinary aficionado.

SVT120 - Dan Caster – Lead Me Home [Snippet]

Early Support by Ben Westbeech, Tensnake, Fred Everything, Till Von Sein, Dave Aju and more... 

Even though 2013 saw Tom and Zip, the duo better known as Homework, take over their beloved home turf of the Netherlands and the rest of Europe – playing an insane amount of summer festivals and club gigs – it also saw the two hit a bit of a dry patch production wise. Thankfully that period is behind them and they’re back on Exploited with a vengeance. 

The two tracks on this new single, although very different in nature, can best be defined as an excursion into moody yet poppy territory. A path the musical chameleons have not previously explored. The first track, ‘The Way I See It’, has been described by the twosome as an ode to their affinity for 80’s synth pop from the likes of Depeche Mode, The Human League and The Cure. Both a slow burner and a unquestionable club track the first real ‘song’ from the two Dutchmen features lyrics and vocals by an up and coming talent from Holland, Bea Anubis, whose lush singing voice can also be heard on Alex Barck’s (Jazzanova) 2013 solo album Reunion. 

‘The Grind’, the down tempo 78BPM B-side, goes hand in hand with it’s A-side counterpart but is nonetheless in an entirely different ball park. It’s the answer to what would happen if an East Coast hip-hop producer shook hands with an analog synth-obsessed lunatic. At times repressed and introverted it’s an intimate jam full of small details that infuses the listener with a sense of summery yet melancholic nostalgia. A theme Homework has been known to indulge in. 

Exploited is proud to see the prodigal sons return to the imprint and to the form we’ve come to expect from them.

Right Now is a driving primetime sureshot.  A perfect club arrangement with huge build ups and forward facing excitement.

CamelPhat are just to camels from Milano, Italia with a serious love for house music.
They wanna stay anonymous for now but we are sure in the near future they can't play
hide'n seek with us anymore.

A2

Of Moons & imaging a piano player in a hotel lounge joined by a powerful 
drummer turninghis tune into a solid deep house track. Add a lascivious female whisper fading in a rooted dark melodic voice and you listen to this addictive 
piece called Of Moons &.

Bunte Bummler "Bunt" is the German word for colorful. The DJ & producer team from
the western part of Germany found together through the love for graffiti art. They've
gained some great attention for their debut "You're mine" on 8bit records. 
Now they are out on JEUDI Records to make the world even more colorful.

B1

So Far is bringing back the smell of summer. That's how you start your night with great spirit of optimism. Put this tune on and pictures of an open air dancing good vibed crowd comes to your mind.

Tapesh & Dayne S The "alway on the go" man Tapesh is already quite a shot in the deep house & tech house business. Whereas the producer, pilot & guitarist Dayne S is ranked as one of the upcoming deep house talents for sure. This fruitful team already stormed the beatport charts with their amazing collaborations "Leadbelly" and "Don't You Know". 

B2 
Beautiful Laziness: Denis has already found the perfect title for his piece. Calm down, catcha breath and enjoy.

Denis Yashin  It's his 2nd guest appearance on JEUDI Records and we just love the beauty  of his productions. The versatile talent coming from the wide lands of Siberia to Vienna, Austria is a very reflected, thoughtful guy. Influenced by Detroit Techno and experimental electronic music he has developed his own, unique soundscape

Lyrics: You were lookin' so good to me
The night we met, I could not see
How deep you were to penetrate my heart, mmm

When do I wanna see you
When do I wanna please you
Every day of the week
When do I wanna love you
When am I thinking of you
Every day of the week

You were lookin' so good to me
The night we met, I could not see
How deep you were to penetrate my heart, mmm
Now that some time has passed
It made me think this is meant to last
I never wanna be apart, oh, no, no

Don't let me fool you
If I'm actin' kinda cold to you
It's just a little game I like to play
'Cause when we're together
It just keep getting better
If I had my way...

[a]pendics.shuffle feat. Blakkat "Heavy Burdens High (Safeword Bonus Edit)"

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)
