Vhyce is one producer who has been coming up the slow lane, but with swift and audacious results, thanks to a clutch of releases for esteemed labels like Pets Recordings, Future Disco and Boogie Angst.  The Portugese/Italian talent now debut on Street Tracks with the impressive ‘Far From Reality’ single.

The title track, ‘Far From Reality’, goes deep in on Vhyce’s Italian roots, revealing a chugging, Italo disco inspired goodness, and sits nicely amongst the revered works of Lindstrøm, Todd Terje etc.  Accompanying track, ‘Still Gaze Rear View’ again deploys a disco swing to its beats, as twinkling synths usher in a thick and driving arpeggiated bassline, and a tone that captures that elusive feeling of having a supremely, impossibly good time!

Daniel Bortz lends his seasoned touch to 'Dancing in Your Eyes' in a rendition that retains the original's vast melodic soundscapes and adds layers of nostalgia with a pulsating jungle breakbeat.

For their twelfth installment, Scatcity welcomes the duo Colossio & Sobek. Label head Skatman also makes an appearance on remix duty.

A versatile EP that combines the influences of both artists, low-tempo, tribal grooves, bizarre vocals, and deep melodies are the core of this EP named "Fragmentado". 

The title track kicks things off with a steady beat, glitchy vocals, and a mysterious melody that carries the listener to a drop with a stabby arp and a syncopated groove.

The Skatman reconstruction transforms the original track to a peak-time sharp synth-driven track.

"Vision Peligrosa" starts the B-side lowering the tempo with a groovy and tribal beat topped with bizarre vocals that hypnotize the dancers till the early hours.

“Murmuros"  closes the EP with deep rumbling drums that roll along as foundations to warming synths and echoing toplines.

Life Cycling was the first artist album release on Maeve by our dear friend Phil Kieran back in 2019.
The record was widely acclaimed and pioneered by publications like The Quietus and DJs like the late great Andrew Weatherall.
Since its release we have carefully curated 2 remix packages, the second of which sees New York maestro Justin Van Der Volgen paired with label founder The Drifter.

You can always count on Kotelett to serve up some vibrant melodic monsters, and the follow-up to his acclaimed ‘Lifted’ EP for Exploited Ghetto is now here. Three new gems. Three new weapons for your crate.
‘I Got Something For You’ typifies his less-is-more approach, taking just a few key elements and squeezing every last drop of energy from them. The focal point is the pumping arpeggiated bassline which could be equally at home in an electro or psy trance banger. Its rising melodic progression gives the track a feel that’s somewhere between euphoric and dark, and with the pitter-patter of his shuffling hi-hats and succinct synth hooks including cute 8-bit blasts supporting the weight of the b-line, he concocts a sleek dancefloor juggernaut.
‘La Metta’ thrusts along at a more urgent pace, with heavenly ‘80s synth pads building the vibe over an incessant bassline melody. The retro feel is continued by a sprightly detuned lead line and a cute percussive, pitch-bending riff, but the rug is yanked from under our feet by an intensely atmospheric, tense, dramatic breakdown. This moment of intensity breaks up the track beautifully, giving the lead line a renewed intensity upon its return.
The EP is completed by the electro-disco bounce of ‘Prism’, complete with cheeky cowbell and synth-tom fills. The bouncing bassline is complemented by ascending and descending melodic scales, and a breakdown that sounds like R2D2 malfunctioning in rhythmic fashion. The elastic groove keeps you nodding your head throughout and a sparse percussive arrangement lets the synth magic intensify from all angles.

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)
