iTunes - Pre Order - bit.ly/YouKnowTheBeat

'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)

Featured on upcoming DJMag Selection 01 Compilation + early support by BBC Radio1/Danny Howard, dOP, Erol Alkan, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Martin Landsky, Laurent Garnier, Tensnake, Riva Starr, ZDS, Arthur Baker, Miguel Campbell, DJ T, Sasha, Bag Raiders, Wildkats, Kasper Bjoerke, Waifs & Strays, Noir, Mia Dora, Laidback Luke, Sonny Fodera, James Curd, Moodymanc, Pezzner, Kyodai, Nils Nuernberg, Crackazat, Brett Johnson, Compuphonic, James Curd, PJU, Jamie Anderson, Sinden, Phonique, Khan, Smash TV.

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.

With over 7 million plays and counting on YouTube Compuphonic's 2011 collaboration with Marques Toliver, 'Sunset' raised the bar pretty high. Since then Maxime has gone on to produce remixes for the likes of Giorgio Moroder, Gotye even and fellow Belgians The Subs (winning a Red Bull award in the process) and release two acclaimed EPs on Berlin label Exploited.

Now finally Maxime and Marques have reunited for a new EP on Exploited, 'Magical Shoes', and the results are everything we could have hoped for.

Having delivered two huge club hits in 2014 with ’Radio Atlantis’ and ’O Cypres’, Belgian star Compuphonic returns this February with his third EP for Exploited, ‘Magical Shoes’. 2 tracks of sublime House music, the ‘Magical Shoes’ EP sees Compuphonic finally reunited with the Beyoncé approved American singer Marques Toliver, whose vocals previously graced Maxime’s 2012 breakout hit ’Sunset’.

Once again this Transatlantic pairing have struck gold as Compuphonic’s distinctive brand of deeply emotional, nuanced, House Music provides the perfect setting for Marques’ plaintive vocals. With it’s distinctive Korg M1 organ and shuffling beats ‘Magical Shoes’ instantly brings to mind legendary ‘90s New York clubs like The Sound Factory but thanks to Compuphonic’s production skills it goes well beyond that of simple period pastiche and sounds utterly fresh for 2015, a bonafide club hit that is already peppering the sets of DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Tensnake and The Magician.

As the title suggests the EP’s 2nd track ‘The Sun Does Rise’ is the natural successor to the duo’s previous outing. As deep as the Pacific Ocean this is a trance inducing hymn to hope, music designed to elevate the soul as much as move the body and bring some much needed warmth back to clubland. Expect to hear this played everywhere and anywhere this year where the party goes through the night and the first morning light breaks over the dancefloor.

Recorded in the famous Vantage Point Studios in Antwerp - dEUS’s own recording studio, a special, inspiring moment for Maxime, a lifelong fan of the band - the ‘Magical Shoes’ EP cements his position as one of Europe’s most talented producers and with remixes to come soon on Carl Craig’s Planet E and more original material on Exploited, the future is looking bright for Compuphonic.

Adana Twins - Bleeding (feat. Human Life)

Early support by Maceo Plex, Guy Gerber, Catz N Dogz, SIS, Steve Lawler, Erol Alkan, Laurent Garnier, Booka Shade, Agoria, Huxley, Laura Jones, Jozif, Lil´ Tony, Patrice Baumel, dOP, Patlac, Pezzner, Ralf Kollmann and more.

Kiki, the Finnish architect-turned-dance music producer is no stranger to most of us. With an impressive discography and a smartly composed sound, the BPitch Control long stay made his Exploited debut last year - a collaboration EP with producer Joyce Muniz. Now Kiki is back with a solo single on Exploited and we are more than excited.

June 2014: Kiki at Sonar in Barcelona at a Rooftop Party. Suddenly the world seems to stand still.
People stop dancing, open their mouths and point at the uprising Supermoon.
It is blood red and looks much more like the planet Mars than a moon. A magic moment!

Shortly after this incident, Kiki travels back to Berlin - still impressed by the images in his mind - and writes within minutes the melody for his new track he dedicates to the Supermoon.

Not long after this, Kiki gets to Sabaudia in Italy, near Rome, and tests his finished track for the first time on a beach party during Full Moon.

Back in 2015 - Exploited proudly presents you Kiki’s Supermoon - which comes in 2 versions. It’s a kind of magic!

I'll definitely play this. Thank you very much for sending it to me and congrats for a job well done!
Robbie Akbal: Great stuuf man.. for sure will play both mixes, especially feeling a lot the Revisted!

PREMIERE: Gilberto Gil - Maracatú Atômico (Damaskus Edit)

Christian Nielsen has never been one for musical pigeonholes, but with his new 'Pull Up' EP on Pets Recordings, the Danish producer takes that ethos to its logical extreme. Two tracks. Two distinct moods. One cohesive, club-ready package.

Made not in some plush Berlin bunker but in the most democratic of studios - his kitchen, after the kids were asleep - the limited time and space, allowed Christian to focus on what really matters - the groove, the vibe, and making every sound count.

The title track, 'Pull Up', is pure peak-time propulsion: raw, rhythmic rap vocals locked tight to a driving, big room chassis, built for the kind of dancefloor moments when the energy shifts from simmer to boil. Flip it to 'Infinity', and the mood changes to melodic,   yet propulsive textures with a more a spacious arrangement that's designed for losing yourself.

'I wanted to create something that feels both nostalgic and fresh,' Nielsen says. 'The idea was to capture that spontaneous energy you get when unexpected elements collide in the right way.'

Two tracks, two moods: Christian Nielsen's 'Pull Up' EP on Pets Recordings is home-made, club-approved, and guaranteed to move you from peak-time fire to 4 am rush.

Otherwise Records presents “Stop That Record, And Rewind That!”, the latest EP by DJ, producer, and label manager Fran Bortolossi. Featuring 3 original tracks — “Stop That Record,And Rewind That!”, “Music All Night Long” and “Don’t Do It” — the release navigates the intersection of Indie Dance and Nu Disco, where arrangement choices push the tension between memory and motion, the dancefloor and immersive listening.

The title track builds around vocal cuts that operate like rhythmic triggers, layered over modulated basslines and spacious percussion in a structure that nods to the past without falling into nostalgia. “Music All Night Long” leans into a looser, more fluid framework, led by textures reminiscent of early Daft Punk — channeling club hedonism with restraint. Closing the EP, “Don’t Do It” takes a more direct route, fusing groove and harmonic fragments, anchored by a filtered vocal that emerges with a confessional tone.

With this release, Fran Bortolossi continues to refine his sonic language — one rooted in deliberate timbral choices and structures that emphasize internal movement. Stop That Record, And Rewind That! sits within the Otherwise catalog as a contemporary reading of the dialogue between form and function, expanding the ways sound can inhabit space with clarity and control.

Fran Bortolossi - Don't Do It

This is our personal favourite of the label for this year!

Included in DMC UK Buzzcharts and Mixmag Reviews. Premiered by Big Shot Magazine & Deephouse Amsterdam. Props from Tim Sweeney (Beats in Space), Axel Boman (Pampa/Studio Barnhus), Tensnake (True Romance), dOP (Circus Company), Acid Pauli (Crosstown Rebels), Patrick Pulsinger (Cheap Records/Hercules&Love Affair)...
Functional, ethereal, hallucinogen, deep, oceanic, balearic disco house. This is how Sirens Of Lesbos' first volume of their new ESSAYS series sounds like:
Moving across the genres...
While SOL's signature material is rather song structured / radio orientated, ESSAYS displays a different, more experimental and 100% dancefloor oriented dimension of the group. Volume 1 is a shamanic silver bullet for all DJs who praise dream-like house music, electronic synthesized melodic beats & grooves and some Ibiza Sunshine.

Tim Sweeney:
"Nice one."

Axel Boman:
"Polynesian Dance at sunrise at Sunset Campout this week is the plan! The SOL release is great!!! Love it!! :)"

Tensnake:
"Quite a strong EP."

Mixmag:
"Wicked - like a mature nintendo game aimed at the dancefloor."

dOP:
"Like the happy mood of Polynesian Dance!"

Acid Pauli:
":)"

Patrick Pulsinger:
"1980s Japan!"

Friendly Fires:
"Lovely. Polynesian Dance is ecstatic."

DMC UK Worldmagazine:
"3 beautiful and unique tracks bringing smiles and grooves to the floor. Polynesian Dance looks set to be a classic for sure."

Deephouse Amsterdam:
http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/full-premiere-sirens-of-lesbos-7-minutes-in-tibet/
'Their new EP on Exploited will undoubtedly make its mark in this month’s release calendar. The three-tracker gets under your skin from the outset. Premiere 7 Minutes in Tibet is less of a dance-floor filler than it is a perfect after party anthem.'

Big Shot Magazine:
http://newsflash.bigshotmag.com/mp3s/stream/37095/
'This month the wildly creative posse return with Essays Volume 1, an EP tailored exclusively for the dance floor. “Together In 1980s Japan” is a dreamy disco-house affair sporting a bouncy bassline, shimmering melodies, crafty synth-driven bleeps and oh-so-angelic vocal samples.'

Heroe (SevenDoors Remix)

Adana Twins - Heroe (SevenDoors Remix) | Exploited

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)
