Don of the airwaves Danny Howard continues his unstoppable ascent as a dance music all-rounder with his latest release, debuting on Defected’s club-focussed label DFTD with ‘Mr B’. With a catalogue of red-hot releases under his belt across a number of major imprints including Saved and Anjunadeep, ‘Mr B’ is a record clearly produced with the dancefloor in mind. As a swift beat glides over a devilishly deep bassline, a spoken-word vocal courtesy of an unrevealed US pioneer adds a hefty dose of house authenticity for this slick label debut. Layers of acidic synths and stuttering effects are the final piece of the puzzle, culminating in a club track ready to dominate the mightiest of soundsystems.

Release Your Mind (Rsquared Remix)

Get Physical Music family member Mantu has his “Artbridge” EP revived with two new remixes. Originally released in December 2013 with remixes from Phillip Bader and Habischman, the new EP boasts reworks from Cozzy D and German Brigante.

First up we have German Brigante with a wicked breakbeat style remix. The breakbeat drumwork accompanied with the deep, stretched out synth makes for a dangerous track. Next is Cozyy D with an atmospheric rework of the track, clearly aimed at late night dancefloors. It has crisp percussion, thumping kicks and long build ups, enough to get any crowd moving.

Between faded memories and new horizons, Lost Paradises emerges as a sonic manifesto for those who have already found themselves on the threshold between the past and the future. On this four-track EP, SMK weaves a rich and introspective narrative, inviting the listener to explore emotional landscapes where each note echoes the longing for something lost and the fervor for something that is yet to come.

The title track, 'Lost Paradises', opens the doors to this universe, as the first step on a journey into the unknown. Soon after, 'Street Rules' invokes the frenetic pulse of urban life, where every beat is a reminder that survival requires rhythm. 'Subculture', in turn, delves into the recesses of the collective spirit, capturing the essence of countercultures that shape identities.

And then there's 'Revenge of Love', an ode to immortal passion that transcends barriers and rescues old connections. Here, SMK teams up with Patrik G to create a track that is both a cry for redemption and a celebration of the love that insists on weathering the storms of life.

Inspired by profound changes - of city, of mentality, of philosophy - Lost Paradises is more than an EP; is a love letter to the bonds that never break and to the strength needed to build new paths.

SMK and Patrik G give us an invitation: to get lost in long-forgotten paradises and finally find yourself again.

Jey Kurmis is a Leeds based producer who has been djing all over the UK for almost ten years and producing for around 7 years. From his first ever release on Phobic Records to his more recent offerings for Hot Creations, Jey has been honing his craft with his music being championed by some of the biggest names in the game.

His first Hot Creations release entitled, Lil Nic French EP dropped on Hot Creations in July 2014. A four pronged attack of bumping summer jams flecked with infectious vocals - lead track Lil Nic French first appeared on Richy Ahmeds massive Rinse FM compilation and rightly sets the tone with its heavy bass beat and mind bending acid line. With the chunky, percussive LA Shazz, the tight kicks and cowbell of the groovy Lover and the freaky groover Miss Raadi the EP made a statement of intent that shows no sign of waning.

With his arsenal of originals and a steady release schedule on some top labels as well as an ever-busier gig schedule which includes the infamous, Paradise@ DC10 in Ibiza 2015 is set to see the rise of Jey Kurmis and truly mark him out as one to watch.
For Exploited Ghetto Jey Kurmis delivered 3 minimal tech-house bombs in his typical ultra-dope trademark sound.

The Repopulate Mars regular Latmun delivers his first release of 2020 following a busy year touring the likes of Tokyo, NYC, Buenos Aires, Turin and London, playing at BPM Festival, DC10, Womb and Printworks to name a few. With previous releases on Hot Creations, Relief, elrow and Sola, the UK- based producer and DJ now heads back to the Los Angeles imprint with another club-ready release.

‘High’ opens with a distinctly warm and bubbling Latmun bassline, a catchy vocal snippet, guitar licks and electric claps. Next, ‘Ready And Willing’ then thumps up the energy with zappy synths, swung percussion, sharp snares, chopped up vocals and fluttering sax-like stabs on the breaks.

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)
