Find My Heart

Snacks get deep into the ocean with a bag full of dynamites to take out the real soul that lives in this track. We strongly recommend to play this everytime that you are close to the sea and go straight back to your roots.

Snacks - Black Dynamite

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.

Ntombi & Survival - Tomorrow

Ok this is an old story that started as a bootleg edit while back. I remember that as soon as I uploaded the edit on soundcloud I got so many reactions I decided to take it offline immediately and put it out on 12" (200 copies only, but then the bootleg got bootlegged, crazy...) But it never got a proper "clean" release, although we tried hard to clear it.
So, after replaying everything (thanks to Silver City, Sean Brosnan and Bob Benozzo), new vocals (courtesy of Jupiter), a killer new remix (by Spiller) and a great dj and label owner (Joey Negro)
It's finally dropping on Z Records UK and I made a new dub mix for the occasion. Check it out.
This is Spiller's mix, sure to bring any floor down :)
In case you are unfamiliar with it: it's a Lio cover version

112 kbps files for preview - don't be a dunce!

Irishman @jimmyrouge of @orangetreeeditsrishman fame joins the Razor-N-Tape team with a 2-track EP of bumping edit heat. On the A-side “So Long” flips a cheeky hook over a rubbery bass-line, with tension-building synth interludes that release into an ear worm of a vocal riff. On the flip, “Movin’” is a deep uptempo burner with piano stabs, rhythmic guitar plucks and an unstoppable groove. RNT takes it back to their OG format of a single track per side, running loud and proud…one listen to these belters and you’ll see why!

Jimmy Rouge Edits

Jimmy Rouge Edits - Movin'

Four Remixes from the new album of New York’s Phenomenal Handclap Band. The perfect band for the new „organic dance music“ and „Nu Disco“ wave.
Their LP PHB was a favorite of DJs like Harvey, Gilles Peterson, Artwork and many more and for sure the Remixes will be on heavy rotation too. NYC Disco legend Danny Krivit made a hot disco edit. Cooper Saver from the Westcoast serves a breakbeat club version that kicks ass and Ray Mang, London’s legendary man for effective disco and funky house, delivers a fresh disco version of Judge Not.

Exploited Rec promises to strip the wallpaper from the walls of your home stereo.
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)
