Exploited

There’s a lot of amazing things aligning here with this premiere.  First off, it’s new material from Klaxons. This alone is momentous as they were essentially one of the first acts to really take off in blog culture almost 10 years ago and have even had trends based on them in the UK.  Basically, they broke the internet before there was such a thing.  Second, there are some serious names affiliated with this new material that’s supposed to be presented as a new album in the Spring.  The album appears to be steered in some part by Tom Rowlands (1/2 of the Chemical Brothers…HELLO) and the one and only James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem, DFA Records).  These facts alone have me geeked as they are two of my bigger influences in all of dance music.  Third, this premiere.  Word is Gorgon City produced the original and Claptone, who’s been on fire in the disco house realm for some time, took this to the deep house stratosphere.  So essentially this whole project seems crazy and I’m officially now on pins and needles waiting for more to drop.

'Belgian producer Mickey makes music that's just like his country's chocolate: sweet, smooth and oh-so-enticing. Last year's Exploited releases 'LA Anyway' and 'Holding Hands', especially the latter, are exactly that, not forgetting the stunning 'Sweet Baby' and remixes of Sébastien Tellier and Claptone.
Another Exploited release, 'You Know The Beat', is coming this month and it's a lively, juicy fruit slab of bumpin' house. This guy's roll ain't ending any time soon by the sound of things.' (Mixmag)

'This irresistable piece of funked up house music comes from one of our favourite artists, Mickey. Always delivering freshness, Exploited team up with him again for another unbeatable release. We love this track and will be playing it all year, ideal for brightening up a dreary winter’s day!' WORD UP.' (Deephouse London)

'The general trend in house music as of late has been a bit on the dark side but it doesn’t mean that the best music has been in that territory. Top pick of the week is by the Belgian producer simply known as Mickey who is back on Exploited with this disco-funk jam called “You Know The Beat”.' (Magnetic Magazine)

Mickey starts the New Year with another great anthem. 'You Know The Beat' is a mixup of 90ies French House, combined with a classic old school American House Vibe and Groove. Think Cassius meets Todd Terry.

We saw Mickey, as a newcomer, growing on the label Exploited. His releases 'Sweet Baby', 'Holding Hands' and 'Walk Away' are topping our label's bestsellers of the year 2014. His track 'Sweet Baby' was among the Top 10 best selling tracks at Beatport in the genre Deephouse. Next to his Belgian residency at the infamous 'Libertine Supersport' nights, he travels all over the world to rock the crowd with his energetic DJ sets.

He just finished a remix for Australian 'Modular Label‘ stars 'Bag Raiders' and is currently in London working on his next single.

Futureboogie Recordings Digital 001

Summer Riot EP

1. Coat Of Arms – Is This Something 
2. Lukas – A Bigger Splash 
3. Behling – Without You 


Futureboogie Recordings is on a roll and with it comes the ‘Summer Riot EP’, a collection of lush, deep cuts of the house persuasion from three of the label’s hot discoveries, Coat Of Arms, Lukas and Behling.

Bristol has long been a hot bed of talent for alternative music but it is only recently that the city has begun to really plant itself on the house and disco map and this is in no small sense down to the house of Futureboogie and its brethren. Having earned their stripes in A&amp;R through 
running stages at major festivals like Glastonbury and Big Chill plus an agency of artists ranging from Crazy P to Maxxi Soundsystem that defy the South-West drizzle with their cosmic electronic wizardry, these guys have the fresh blood flocking to their infant label. Although, you get the 
sense they all went to school together or at least share the same local. 

First up on the ‘Summer Riot EP’ is Bristol/Birmingham duo Eats Everything and Chris James aka Coat Of Arms. The bumping, spacious house grooves of ‘This Is Something’, a warm blend of big 
bass, Detroit-esqe synth stabs and deep, soulful vocals is a sexy dancefloor burner. A relatively new partnership, Coat Of Arms have had props from heavyweights Claude Von Stroke, Justin Martin and Catz n Dogz and have another forthcoming release on Pet Recordings. 

Lukas is back from remixing duty for Christophe to display his production flair with ‘A Bigger Splash’. Where Coat Of Arms brought the heat, Lukas brings the breeze with swaying grooves and jazzy flourishes. Tender vocal snippets float amid soaring synths, melodic keys and a deep 
funk bassline. A Bristol based DJ and promoter, Luke Turner aka Lukas is at the helm of the city’s Buoyancy and Alfresco Disco events and has previously released material on Dirtcrew’s sublabel Player’s Paradise. 

Winding down this mood trio is Behling with the mellow sun-kissed, swinging grooves of ‘Without You’. Laid back disco leanings with hints of Latin funk, the tropical drums and irresistible brass section are enough to soothe the most melancholy soul. As one half of Bristol based house duo 
Behling &amp; Simpson, the young producer already has over 100 releases and 5 years of international DJing under his belt and with his solo work hecontinues to cruise the galaxy in slo- mo. 

With Futureboogie, It’s the sense of community that lends itself to the growing consistency of their output. As diverse as this may be, the label is fast becoming synonymous with colourful, homegrown sonic sunshine.

Brazilian-born Joyce Muniz immersed herself in the world of electronic music after moving to Austria at the age of 12. By the age of 16, she purchased her first 1212s and became one of Vienna’s youngest DJs. When the raw and pulsating sounds of Brazilian dance music baile funk infiltrated European house and techno, Muniz connected with her origins by providing vocals for Viennese producer Stereotyp. Solidifying her stance as a multitalented artist and MC, Muniz satisfied her craving to produce by diving deep into house music, carving out her own niche through a smooth-yet-funky sound often complimented by sultry vocals and thumping basslines. 

’An early coup for Exploited was 2011's 'Morning Love', Muniz's collaboration with Louie Austen. An old school Viennese crooner who'd worked alongside the rat pack in Las Vegas, he'd risen to prominence again after the turn of the millennium, alongside the likes of Peaches and Gonzalez, on the crest of electroclash. With his lived-in vocals riding a spacey house groove punctuated by snippets of breakbeats, Austen was so impressed with Muniz that he asked her to produce his next album.

This mutual respect was to arise again in the shape of Maya Jane Coles, who helped get Muniz's music into the hands of 20:20 Vision, so far resulting in two Eps. Then Richie Hawtin got hold of an unreleased track and played it on his Ibiza Boiler Room. “I really was wondering how Richie Hawtin got it!” Joyce said. Still, got it he had, leaving just the clearance of its Kraftwerk sample from 'It's More Fun to Compute' and the addition of a vocal by ex-Jungle Brother Bam, for the modern day hip-house of 'Back in the Days' to become a hit for Exploited last year.’ (DJMag) Not to forget her collaboration track ’Warriors’ with Bpitch longstay Kiki or her recent remix of Traffic Signs aka Steve Bug and Jake the Rapper’s ’Cookie Jar’.

Her next release ’You Always Get Me High’ will drop on Exploited in May.

DMC World Magazine:
"Sao Paolo and Vienna’s fiercest exports, Joyce Muniz makes a welcomed apearance on her home label Exploited Records with ‘You Always Get Me High’ a throbbing, bass line driven, deep tech hip thruster with a spoken vocal fascinator that wobbles precariously on top like a bucket of water on a door. ‘Down Brooklyn’ is a hyper-jacked groove with saw and scissor action synths, tricksy syncopating rhythms, panning, reverbed incidentals and a warm, snuggly, comfort-blanket of an environment that you won’t ever want to leave. God bless Joyce Muniz’ and long live the underground."

Fresh from hitting their first festival of the summer at Valencia’s Festival de les Arts this weekend, The Wombats can now unveil enigmatic producer Claptone’s remix of ‘Be Your Shadow’. The original version of  ‘Be Your Shadow’ is set to impact on June 22nd and features on the band’s current album ‘Glitterbug’ which hit #5 in the UK and #2 in Australia. 

Claptone's remixes for the likes of Metronomy, Pet Shop Boys, Klaxons and Gregory Porter have all been chosen because he feels an affinity with the original artist. This is evident throughout Claptone’s imaginative reinventions as he relishes translating such songs for the dance floor.

His interpretation of ‘Be Your Shadow’ strips the song back to basics before progressively rebuilding the track towards a heightened crescendo of sound. Throughout, Claptone expertly weaves beats and atmospheric soundscapes around The Wombats’ frontman Matthew ‘Murph’ Murphy’s melodic vocal delivery. 

Claptone has worked hard to maintain his position as a consistently innovative global influencer. His big news for 2015 comes with his highly anticipated debut artist album, the campaign for which commenced when the track ‘The Music Got Me’ was picked as Pete Tong’s Miami Essential New Tune. ‘The Music Got Me’ and another new production ‘Dear Life’ subsequently stormed to the top of the Beatport charts. The album will be packed with vocal contributions from the likes of  Peter, Björn & John; Jimi Tenor; Nathan Nicholson (The Boxer Rebellion); Clap Your Hands Say Yeah; Young Galaxy; Jaw (from dOP); Jay-Jay Johanson and more. Claptone will then take his awe-inspiring 'Immortal Live' show to key festivals such as Melt! in Germany, Balaton Sound in Hungary and SW4 in London over the summer.

A golden scooped beak slowly emerges from the darkness. Claptone is bringing us ‘Charmer’, his first artist album.

In the last few years Claptone has become known for releasing big tracks primed for late nights and packed clubs all over the world. ‘Charmer’ however fuses his signature house sound with a more eclectic aesthetic, featuring guest appearances from Nathan Nicholson (The Boxer Rebellion), Jimi Tenor, Young Galaxy, Jay-Jay Johanson and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah amongst others.

He today shares introductory track ‘Puppet Theatre’ ft. Peter, Bjorn and John, a collaboration which offers a glimpse of the depth to be found when peeling back the layers of ‘Charmer’.

The album will drop following a packed summer touring schedule which reaches all corners of the globe and it follows the run-away success of Claptone's remix for Gregory Porter, a tune which dominates Ibiza this year and has been the biggest selling track on Beatport for months on end.


The album also features ‘Dear Life’ and ‘The Music Got Me’ as well the early singles ‘No Eyes’ and ‘Ghost’, both enormous smashes on essential Berlin house label Exploited.

Claptone will be holding album launch parties all over the planet in the coming months kicking off with a special showcase at W Amsterdam on the eve of release during Amsterdam Dance Event.
‘Charmer’ is set for release on 16/10/15 on Different Recordings (the label that launched the careers of Crystal Castles, Tiga, Crystal Fighters, Vitalic).

The Exploited Records poster boy steps back into the spotlight with a winning formula that’s gained him support throughout clubs worldwide.
Belgian producer Mickey delivers a sensual groover that’s destined to get those juices flowing.
This deep and seductive burner carries some solid disco and house elements that are arranged in a way that sounds completely fresh.
Berlin’s Exploited can be counted on to deliver those world-class house grooves, often equally bringing both a classic and modern flavor with their releases, and the latest from Mickey does a wondrous job of bleeding these seemingly-different elements together in his latest single ‘Disco Lights’. A chunky house stepper with a rollicking bass groove, jaunty piano stabs and some mean, vintage funk sample appropriation. Its a lively, juicy fruit slab of bumpin’ disco house.

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)
