Our Altered States series hits volume number five, this time elevating standout artists from Sweden,Mexico, Russia, France and Germany.

The aim of the series is to create a go-to collection for those looking for original up-and-coming talent from around the globe. And as with
all Sinchi releases, profit from sales go to the Sinchi Foundation which supports indigenous peoples worldwide.

Freakazzé II is a DJ and production duo from Hamburg that roams between slow rave and dark disco, wavy 80s synths and punk drums. Their brilliant 'Blaupause' is a heavy plodder with frazzled synths searching the face of the soot-black groove.

French minimalist electro and cold new wave sounds define the music of Nomenklatür. They have so far released their ravey take on techno on Bass Agenda and Beachcoma and here excel with 'Keeping Distance.' It pairs ice-cold drums and hits with meandering guitar leads that bring a sense of real-world melancholy next to the cosmic chords.

Mexico's Oscar Avendaño aka Levantine plays bass and keys inspired by the Madchester era. He is a storytelling artist with credits on labels like About Disco Records, Hype Muzik and many more. His 'Ultradisco' is a chunky post-punk take on disco with plenty of raw attitude, hypnotic chord vamps and jangling melodic fragments.

Leo Af Ekenstam is a newly emerging alias from a Swedish artist who has been making music for years. With this project, he brings a dark disco sound exemplified by 'Stanford Torus.' It is a spacious and cinematic cut with pulsing bass and slapping hits that jerk you into action as the ambient pads up top bring a pensive mood.

Vladislav is the man behind Orchid, a producer with a penchant for the 80s and 90s era of electronica. Now based in Moscow, he has released on U’re Guay Records and Esthetique already this year. 'Erotica' is a steamy
post-disco track with a libidinous female vocal and retro-future chords that bring a real atmosphere to the club.

Paris-based Zaratustra started out making techno but has moved into more melodic sounds with productions coming on Planet Ibiza and Kosa Records soon. House, techno and EBM inform his sounds. 'Thoth' is an
adventurous and epic track that builds slowly on a muted acid line before the surging deep house drums voyage off into the stars.

Altered States Vol.5 is another diverse and essential collection of fresh club sounds from hot emerging talents.

Gigaman returns with his 2nd single, 'Man In The Crowd'.

Shir Khan Presents Welt Am Draht - a collection of Exploited dancefloor gold from 2023!
Shubostar’s colorful update on cosmic disco fits perfectly with the charms of Budakid’s ’Milestones’, with a bouncing off-beat bass line driving under heavily reverbed kicks and snares and a flurry of ascending arpeggios.
Brazil’s Renato Cohen is a perfect match for Sandhog’s ‘Accent’, bringing his new school electro/Italo touch to the proceedings with a knowing nod to New Order’s monumental classic ‘Blue Monday’.
‘Alte Liebe’ by Berlin’s Micropacer will send you over the edge. An absolutely stunning melodic progression underpins the undulating bass and relentless piano stomp of this one, recalling classic Italo / piano house with its jubilant feel and soaring pads.
AIKON from Kyiv reworks Claptone's classic 'United' from 2014 and gives it a heavy update for the dancefloor.
Joyce Muniz delivers dark Italo slammer 'Balin Bali', produced alongside rising Mexican star, Theus Mago.
‘Building Up’ by Enduro Disco is built on a solid foundation of nu disco texture but with a chunkier house edge.
On ‘High Energy’ by Mexican producer Levantine, distorted kicks suck at a tense synth arpeggio while in the distance a dramatic melody plays amidst a church-like reverb.
Barcelona’s Baldo revisits the gorgeously colorful ‘Dream Of You’ from Istanbul’s rising talent Zeynep Erbay, taking it on one hell of a trip.
NEAT’s ‘DYR’ is a beautiful, delicate, unhurried gem of a track, dripping in sensuality. Shimmering percussion and delayed claps lay a foundation atop sorrowful sustained organ-esque pads.
‘Fantasia’ by Kadosh builds slowly through a dramatic minor key bass line and shimmering metallic fuzz to suddenly explode into life with a stunning, sorrowful main riff that rocks a distorted 8-bit electro vibe.
Madrid duo Depaart rock the slick, acidic cut ’And You’ with a real air of sophistication about it.
Studio Barnhus affiliates Måns Glaeser (from swedish Off The Meds) and Basement Space team up for ‘Hollywood Cole’ - a cute breakbeat track peppered with old skool rap & diva vocals, shimmering electric piano chords and a thick, undulating bassline.
Marvin & Guy up the tempo for Joyce Muniz & Theus Mago’s track ’Balin Bali’ to a pacey house bounce and lay on some gentle electro textures.
London duo Make A Dance go deeper on their rework for Budakid’s ‘Milestones’, building through gated snips of the vocal, pulsing pads, Latin snare patterns and subtle bleep riffs and delays to reach a heady, hypnotic place.
Fabrizio Mammarella does the damage on his version of ‘Nechama’ by Sandhog, teasing us slowly with ticking techno percussion that ebbs and flows, he gradually reveals the synth chords amidst giant snare hits and pulsing cymbal rides.
Atlanta-based Sejva closes the compilation with ‘We Only Want To Be Bad’, flexing Hi-NRG muscle with its off-beat bassline, snazzy melodies and campy vocals. A masterclass in retro revivalism.
All in all this is a great eclectic dance compilation.

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.

'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)
