J'adore trés smooth and classy lounge house tarck !

nice chill feeling on this one James at his best !

Mad but i hate it when producers take a song, slap a beat on it and take credit and change its name

red carpet atmosphere, the food was nice, people truly talked, enjoyable moment

rule number 1  : freedom
rule number 2 : truth-seeking
rule number 3 : love, always 
rule number 4 : FROM ABSTRACTION TO REALITY
rule number 5 : why bother ?
rule number 6 : the main one

Soul Clap: "James Curd does it again!"
Munk: "Is JS the Frank Zappa of house? I hear them all: B52s, James Chance, Boney M, Todd Terje, Masters At Work. Great Full Pop."

In the last 2 and a half years James Curd has become a regular contributor to the label Exploited. He has released outstanding original material as well as collaborations with Morgan Phalen (their project is called Favored Nations and Morgan also wrote and sang on two singles for the Justice album 'Audio, Video, Disco'), Luke Million (from The Swiss), JDub (from Chicago) and Fred Everything (their project is called Jimmy & Fred which already had a massive dance chart topper with Diynamic act Karmon on the remix for "I See Lights" and one from Locked Groove of Life&Death, Hotflush, and Permanent Vacation fame). Now he is back on Exploited with 5 (thats already a mini-album) new tracks featuring incredible talent such as the sax player Jonty Hall or rapper Jdub. James Curd in his own words about the 5 songs:

1. James Curd - Forever My Friend
"After spending a couple months scoring a feature film I wanted to blow off some steam and make something I would like to play in a club. I love throwing curve balls into songs and try to imagine what a crowded club will do when a 16 bar rhodes solo comes out of nowhere. It's my version of a build up and drop with out the soft synths."

2. James Curd - Jack Be Nimble
"I made this song during a late night studio session right after a night out. It's a homage to my hometown classic Chicago house tracks of JACK. It's an inebriated lyrical session that captures how much fun I was having in the studio that night."

3. James Curd - Tornado In The Basement feat. JDub
"This was written in my old Chicago basement studio with JDub. All the kids in my neighbourhood were around the same age and growing up together. They all graduated from riding bikes and playing in the fire hydrant to an all out EGG war. Every house on my street was getting hit with eggs! Tornado In The Basement is a product of trying to record vocals inbetween the loud bangs of eggs hitting the front windows of my building."

4. James Curd - Everybody Knows feat. Jonty Hall
"This song is a culmanation of a few ideas that where not working as individual songs but came together great as a mosaic piece of music. I chopped up all my favorite parts from a few songs and combined them to create "Everybody Knows". A great horn player from Australias capital city Canberra was in town visiting and he dropped by and did a few takes for me to finish off the song."

5. James Curd - Caught Again feat. JDub
"This is inspired by old French funk songs from the 70's. I wanted a mix of funk with light and dark elements. The bass is funk, the guitar and synths are light and JDub's vocals are dark and a bit intimidating."

French label Broken District is back again with a new sampler, bringing together six different producers to explore deep beats of many varieties. The label is not bound by tempo or stylistic limitations, seeking to venture into the palettes of deep house, hip-hop, broken beat, nu disco and more. Their sophomore release continues the format of their inaugural V/A and boasts a roster of solid up-and-comers and underground vets alike.

Sam Irl, who's contribution comes in the B2 slot of the 12", is one of the latter. The Austrian producer has long pleased ears with treats from his own Jazz & Milk imprint, in addition to releases on a clutch of other solid imprints. "On The Mend" is a driving, nu-disco track that borrows heavily from 80's new wave aesthetics. A straight-up kick/clap and rocking bassline gets layered upon by filtered chords and pads, percussion, and an ethereal vocal sample. It's a higher tempo track that could sit nicely as a sunrise jam in a late night set. The filtered and shiny groove helping you cruise into the new day.

PREMIERE : Sam Irl - On the Mend

After the glorious debut “We Go Straight Ahead EP” for Luv Shack last summer, a welcome return for LeSale with his “LeSexe / Symphony” release.

Thumping drums and throbbing bass await prerequisite footwear in “LeSexe”. And you better have a pair of some serious leather that can withstand a night heavy shuffling as LeSale gets his Boogie Boots and swagger on. Original gets tight and mighty with a groove that just demand you stomp up a floor or two in search of the booty. Aroused and alluring vocals dampen all the right places and also set up for a long night of passion. The guy knows how to sex you up for sure!

Lee Stevens & Domino play round and go a little deeper into the night with their moodier reworking of “LeSexe”. A touch more sensual and amorous, proper House style, the guys also deliver some fine musical luv potion.

Flip side starts with original slice of “Symphony”, which is exactly what it says on the tin. Epic journey of classy production and arrangement, a symphony of emotion and feeling! Intellectual ear candy and elaborate with the elements, just one of those tracks you rather did not end. Again, LeSale has the heavy foot with the kick and demands you shift from the bar area promptly. It’s another get down track as LeSale smears his thick and funky fingers and thumbs all over the knobs in his quest to wear you out physically. You just have to dance!

Finally, comrades Simonlebon & Jakobin on remix duty come good with a blissful rendition of “Symphony”. Less carnal, more erotic and seductive, and definitely more soulful in the tone! Another class act!

As has been the case for the previous eight outings for Luv Shack, the guys bring something for everyone. The success of the label has been that too. Expanding a sound just a little bit further. It’s not just about making music, it’s about making music that people want to dance to, and then adding a few more people to that list with emotive mixes and some imagination. Can’t wait for LUV 010 can you!?

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)
