Bizzarro Universe - Planetary Groove

Julie Desire’s new EP Call Me Back marks a bold step in her creative evolution. Following last year’s standout single For Them You’re Just a Freak, the Paris-based DJ and producer dives deeper into her love for house in its most sensual and dynamic forms. Released on Correspondant, the EP highlights Julie’s evolving and vibrant house sound.
The title track Call Me Back is the clear standout, a high-energy anthem already making waves on dancefloors worldwide. X-tasy follows with a groovy, progressive house vibe that builds into an infectious piano refrain, hypnotic and captivating. Closing the EP, Rock The House delivers a punchy and sexy club track. 
Rooted in the Parisian queer scene and drawing influences from proghouse, hardhouse, and tribal house , Julie Desire continues to define her sound with warmth, ecstasy, and authenticity as a DJ and producer.

We are delighted to welcome back NewTone with their debut EP on Ritmo Fatale, My Lovin’ EP, with two sun-kissed firestarters that stretch summer into infinity.

Blending emotive piano lines with radiant grooves, the release evokes long days, golden skies, and fleeting moments of bliss.

PREMIERE: Oscurrate - Visual Entropy (CLOSE PROXIMITY'S Freedom Mix)

INCOMING : CLOSE PROXIMITY - Be Free #CONTR4ST
Release date : 05/09/2025
BUY : https://www.beatport.com/fr/release/be-free/5244524

CLOSE PROXIMITY is a London-based electronic duo formed by producers Frank Brady and Demack, uniting under one alias to create a focused and immersive club sound. The project emerged from their long-standing collaboration within London's underground scene, particularly through Volition - the record label and event series founded by Brady and developed in close creative partnership with Demack. CLOSE PROXIMITY represents a distilled evolution of their individual solo work: emotive, progressive, and built with the dancefloor in mind. 

Blending elements of progressive house, proto-house, trance, and techno, the pair draw inspiration from iconic acts like Underworld, while infusing their productions with a modern, high-fidelity edge. Their music is driven by thick basslines, soaring pads, and a dynamic sensibility that captures both tension and release. From late-night warehouse sets to headphone journeys, CLOSE PROXIMITY's sound thrives on motion and emotional resonance. 

Their next single, 'Be Free,' drops September 5 via CONTR4ST, offering a bold, melodic slice of peak-time energy that captures the duo's wide-ranging influences and refined production aesthetic.

Higher (Extended Mix) [feat. Lexi L'acqua]

Bizzarro Universe's productions take you on an enthralling journey through their musical universe. With their fancy outfits they look like they are from the future, but they leased the 80‘s and 90‘s for their musical style. Their sonic journey takes us on a wild ride through the realms of Indie Dance, Neo Italo Disco, EBM, Dark Disco and Trance, infusing retro nostalgia with a cutting-edge twist. Their electrifying sets and mind-bending productions revolve around pulsating basslines and captivatingly shrill synths. This unique fusion of sounds, combined with their sympathetic stage presence, has catapulted them to the forefront of the German Indie Dance scene.

True dedication is difficult to find these days, as is motivation when digital media has overthrown old school methods, which makes running a label an even more sinuous mission. Despite a wealth of hurdles that increasingly come with the territory, this hasn’t put an end to people’s desire to push out their own imprints. Concurrently, the same digital revolution that has thrown off the industry has also made it possible for many projects to come into the spotlight, and many of these have made a spectacular difference. Whether it’s smaller side projects of well known artists, serving up quirkier, more experimental tracks, enabling further sonic exploration, or newborn collectives doling out fresh takes on contemporary sound, 2017 has been a prolific year for record labels.
But it’s not just the approach related to creating and promoting labels that has shifted recently. In recent times, the way we make and consume music has transformed as well. A label’s role has changed into that of a full on curator, influencing current musical trends based on their selection of outputs. But it’s not a status that is easily achieved, by all means.
Moving at its own pace, ten years in the world of dance music come as a century in real life, as dancefloor trends fluctuate. In such a surrounding, creating timeless pieces is essential when maintaining a high calibre establishment. But thanks to platforms such as Soundcloud or the ever-pervasive social media channels, it’s easy to showcase tracks and kick off labels without needing the once coveted record deal. Nevertheless, record labels serve as beacons in a world where we’re inundated by more and more content.
More than just a release platform, labels are indispensable partners in artists’ careers as the one to curate only the best music, accompany it with according designs, as well as bringing in new marketing ideas or even music videos. Shir Khan’s Exploited label has been a true example of such a label, hand-picking new producers to showcase, nurturing them from early beginnings into popular household names.

Shir Khan’s strong ear for talent has seen him responsible for launching the careers of Claptone, Adana Twins, Joyce Muniz through their releases on Exploited, the label also providing a platform for established remixers and artists such as Siriusmo, Freeform Five, Munk, Modeselektor, John Tejada, Phil Weeks, Cosmin TRG, Locked Groove, Deetron, Detroit Swindle, Acid Pauli, Ralph Lawson...
Now the label Exploited celebrates ten years of releasing amazing eclectic club music with some of the best tracks from its catalogue (from 2007 until 2017).

Exploited Rec promises to strip the wallpaper from the walls of your home stereo.
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)
