Early feedback in by Catz N Dogz, Perel, Terr, Osunlade, Mixmag, Danny Howard/BBC Radio 1, Claptone, Art Of Tones, Alinka...

The title track from prolific producer James Curd’s debut album ‘Taking All This Time’ is a marker of the quality of the 14-track collection, and one of the new tracks set amongst some of his finest moments to date.
A looping jazz-funk b-line and key sample cut pumps round and round as splashy hi-hats and tense synth whirrs build the mood, before the sweet male vocal refrain is unleashed over a pleasingly mellow melodic progression. The vocal by Shyam P reveals itself more, laying on a honeyed R&B / soul feel to the proceedings before we’re dropped back into that relentless disco groove. Snatches of biting electric pianos intersperse the rhythm, and drawn out sax samples provides a moment of juxtaposition in the break. The overall feel is that of a melancholy summer jam that bridges the gap between multiple genres, concisely reflecting Curd’s tastes in the process.
Alan Dixon (Running Back) ditches the soulful feel for an acid/electro/Italo fusion on his bold remix, setting bubbling acid lines against early '90s piano chords that joyously take centre stage midway through the track.

Early feedback:
Catz N Dogz: Such a good song.
Perel: Thank you!
Terr: Beautiful work of all! Alan Dixon for my sets!
Osunlade: Love this!
Mixmag: The original is so strong and then the Alan Dixon mix takes it to my youth and I am wearing a shell suit at the roller disco.
Danny Howard/BBC Radio 1: I like the Alan Dixon remix

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)

Musicians, producers and DJs Jakub Sautycz and Mateusz Filipiuk formed Jazxing in their hometown of Gdańsk, Poland. Integrated with the wider Balearic music scene, Jazxing are part of a growing group of colourful Polish artists, clubs and labels who want to share and inspire people with their passion for these sounds. Jazxing first went public on a Very Polish Cutouts release and since then the duo have graced Polena Recordings, Father And Son Records And Tapes, and Zambon`s Transatlantyk imprint. Their debut album ‘Pearls of the Baltic Sea’ released on Brighton’s Higher Love Recordings is filled with the depth of emotions, changing states of one’s spirit, and unpredictability of the Baltic weather, standing in contrast to their simple, but eloquent music forms.
