retrogroove x BallroomBlitz Laqlouq Festival- Gourmand Le Singe Closing Set Part 1

Dave Ball, the quiet genius behind Soft Cell, has sadly passed away at the age of 66. Best known for creating the iconic sound of Tainted Love, Dave helped shape the sound of the 80s and inspired generations of musicians. This video looks back at his life, his music, and the legacy he leaves behind. From his early days in Leeds with Marc Almond to his final work on Soft Cell’s new album, this is a farewell to a true pioneer of synth pop. R.I.P. Dave Ball — thank you for the music.

Tainted Love Forever (80s New Wave Tribute)

House track by Tirionbeats aka Tirion(Beatstars)
128,70 bpm
D minor

Everything's just fine - House (Sax) by Tirionbeats

“Just the Sound” is an album of 13 deep house tracks that weave together melodic house, soulful warmth, and experimental elements. The tracks move between clear structures and unexpected moments, creating a rich and multifaceted sonic landscape. Sometimes atmospherically dense, sometimes open and minimal, they showcase the versatility of the genre without losing their internal coherence. The result is a sound that feels both familiar and continually reveals new perspectives.

Just The Sound

Urban Nomad

Echo (Luke Solomon's Body Remix)

We’re convinced Strangelove’s on a mission to bring people together. With this second EP on Smile for example, he seems to have put Kenny Dixon and possibly Otis Redding together on “Truly Lonely”, while “Oh Yeah” sounds like he had Kevin Saunderson and Sly Stone perhaps to show the light to Jake and Elwood Blues in some Tenessee church. It sounds like he got the likes Steve Miller and Barry White to jam out under a palmtree under the watchful guidance of Dimitri From Paris on “Backseat Rain”. What makes this stuff so great is that all this makes perfect sense. Even more so it’s Strangelove’s ability to skillfully build these tracks up to unsuspectedly grab you by the cojones at just the right moment until enchantment is the only appropriate term left.

Three tracks to be reckoned with. Each different, but all truly soulful and effective to the max.

From dance floor bangers to full blown hands-in-the-air anthems and super deep tech-house to 80s inspired nu-disco nodders, the album packs a punch as it's songs flow seamlessly from one to the next, designed to be a listened to as a whole as it bleeds together for a soundtrack to the best night of your life.

In an increasingly uncertain world the album comments on the grind of life in an ever morphing, media controlled world and asks the question ‘are we just able to just be nice to each other?’. Well there’s only one way to find out so don your rave goggles and jump in, 2 Billion Beats are coming your way!

PREMIERE: 2 Billion Beats - An Outro (To Andromeda) [Paper Recordings]

Exploited’s semi-regular “mini compilation” series continues, with Shir Khan collecting together a highly eclectic quintet of new cuts from the label featuring Nathan Ball & SevenDoors, Radiophobia, Kraak & Smaak, Athlete Whippet and Aklay. 

1. Nathan Ball - Right Place (SevenDoors Rework)

Premiered by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08tb8p8
https://soundcloud.com/exploited/bbc-pete-tong-premiere-nathan-ball-right-place-sevendoors-rework-exploited

SevenDoors is a producer and DJ from the deep within the depths of the ocean from the abyss where music consist of tonal strings. He calls his style ‘Sound of the Whales’. Sometimes it's dark, sometimes punchy, emotional or seductive. 'Right Place' is a track which was originally written by Nathan Ball and now has been transported to the dancefloor by SevenDoors. The track was premiered in his BBC Afterhours Mix for Pete Tong and finally sees the day of the light. 

2. Radiophobia - If You Ever Change Your Mind

Defined by their unique, experimental sound rather than an excessive fear of radiation, the affliction for which they are named, Radiophobia released their debut release ’Can’t Stop Believing’ on Exploited in late 2015. Inspired by a variety of genres, from minimalist techno to retro acoustic and 70s inspired vocals, the secret project’s offering ’If You Ever Changed Your Mind' is a catchy, melancholic, psychedelic dance tune. 

3. Kraak & Smaak - Hendo

Premiered by Jason Bentley at KCRW, LA in morning show 'Morning Becomes Eclectic":
https://www.kcrw.com/@@playlists?host=&channel=Simulcast&date=2017/06/20

The Hendo track came about after a long period of working on last year’s Juicy Fruit album material. As is often the case, creative juices flow slowly for a while, but then, all of a sudden, there is that spark again. With the upcoming Ibiza season in mind this track rolled out quite quickly, an autonomous club tune that will be available just in time for Summer dj sets all over the globe. What does it sound like? Think the quirky Scandinavian disco sound meets Kraak & Smaak. A staple track for everyone's record bag this Summer.

4. Athlete Whippet - 3am

Featured in RA new tracks section:
https://www.residentadvisor.net/tracks/861962

Athlete Whippet is disks & dance duo formed of Squareglass co-founders Aviram Barath and Robin Paul Braum. Since their debut in September 2016 the Peckhamer’s hazy sun-kissed House found love by DJs worldwide including Scuba, Bicep, Laurent Garnier, Rob da Bank and Tom Ravenscroft as well as support by BBC1 & 6 and XLR8R, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, Delicieuse Musique and Thump. With a good hand for remixes, the duos releases have come with reworks including Dekmantel’s Awanto 3, Lobster Theremin’s Ross From Friends, Brownswood’s Simbad and Horse Meat Disco founder Severino. A quick start to 2017 has already seen the Whippets release two singles and curate one of the main stages for Peckham Rye Music Festival which they will be sharing with Teki Latex and Ian Pooley.

5. Aklay - Return Order 

There is not much known about Aklay - besides he is living in Berlin studying music production and doing some part time work at a label management company.

Lil'T & Big Sexy - Gogo Juice (Lee Curtiss Remix)

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)
