‘Techno three ways’ is the order of the day from Irish newcomer Richie Corrigan and his accomplice Jacob B, twisting the genre in a trio of directions like a Michelin starred menu might reinterpret a humble ingredient. As a DJ, Corrigan has supported Dave Clarke, running his Purgatory events alongside the label of the same name and releasing elsewhere on Concrete Berlin, Underground Records and Complexed Records.

‘Paradise’ thumps along at a clip, classic stabs manically cutting against off-beat bass whomps and tuned percussion melodies, hi-hats stuttering all the while. Snatches of East Asian melody waft in and out of focus and the melodic progression of the bassline adds a gently euphoric edge to this propulsive track.

‘Get Up’ heads into tribal techno territory, all juddering low end and menacingly toned percussive hits. Pulsing FX and evolving rhythmic structures keep the intrigue levels high as this juggernaut of a track presses on, full steam ahead.

‘Lagoon’ rounds off this well-balanced EP with a more housey take on techno, where filtered disco loops circulate under percolating percussive rhythms. Snatches of bright strings and powerful vocal refrains punctuate while the funk-fuelled bass slams hard. A piano twinkles somewhere in the distance as the layers of the track ebb and flow into each other in mesmerising fashion.

After more spending more than ten years producing tracks in the studio, @deanpolman decided it was time to bring his music to the stage. Strongly influenced by the progressive sound of the 90s, he connects nostalgic tones with contemporary sounds in his sets.

Space Bunny Records is proud to present Sattam’s debut EP Eclipse, a masterclass
in underground progressive trance from this promising producer.

Pongu sets the tone of the EP with its infectious rhythm, interweaving warbling
synths with raw, poly-groove percussion, primed to shake up the dance floor.

Next, Sun Kiss delivers an exhilarating peak-time anthem, brimming in ecstatic
energy whilst leaning into euphoric psy-inspirations.

Moon Hug emerges as the third track, seamlessly blending hypnotic elements of
progressive house, electro and trance with its club-ready 4/4 drive textured with
wonky, electromagnetic infusions.

The EP concludes with a stunning remix from Joku, following Sattam’s recent remix
on their Erbium Records release. Pongu (Joku Remix) reimagines the track as a
rumbling 140 bass-driven breakbeat weapon set to cause serious damage in the
rave.

This was a release under my older Jake moniker, the flipside of my first release on my own label Blueface and was catalogue no BFACE001. It starts with a vocal sample "reposess" which is a fragment of a story of cyberpunk nature around futuristic body snatchers which is joined by a chunky kick and hat combo and dark sampled bassline. Then more layers of lighter and zingy chords are added to develop the journey meaning the track combines darkness and lightness. The breakdown uses the vocal with a long feedback delay to create a space for a dance crowd to whoop before the kick hat combo comes slashing back in.

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)
