Shir Khan and the illusive Exploited crew reveal the first compilation of the cultishly adored Black Jukebox series. It includes the sunniest grooves you’ve heard this year. ’Shir Khan Presents Black Jukebox Disco Jam 01’ is a soundsystem-ready disco-house jam which tickles the subwoofers beautifully and seems purpose built for eyes-wide-shut Summer terrace play in big outdoor spaces. Black Jukebox is traversing the wide spectrum of ‘dancefloor’ music.  There’s much to excite: All four tracks are built for rooftop parties with the deep V crew.
From slo-mo housed up boogie-soul, to a loft-party future classic, to a feel-good, sun-blushed, druggy, late night electric jam, to main room filtered disco house and subbass-bugged R&B…it’s all there.  It’s no wonder the Black Jukebox Vinyl series became buy-on-sight and quick to disappear. Launched in late 2011 by Shir Khan, Black Jukebox was mainly focussed on Vinyl Releases. 13 Releases later, this is the first compilation which sums up some of the best moments and features 3 tracks that were digitally never available before. 
Black Jukebox Releases have put a smile on the face of various tastemakers such as Wolf&Lamb, Soul Clap, Tim Sweeney, Optimo, Axel Boman, Gerd Janson, Disclosure, Danny Krivit, Ewan Pearson, David August, Jesse Rose, Tiefschwarz, Matthew Dear, A-Trak, Huxley, Oliver $, Wareika, RubnTug, ND Baumecker, Acid Pauli, James Friedman, Mano Le Tough, Solomun, H.O.S.H., Daniel Bortz, Dyed Soundorom, Erol Alkan, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Deetron, Skream, Seth Troxler, Re.You, Keinemusik, Noir, Miss Kittin, Joakim, Munk, DJ Yoda, Hot Since 82, Pete Tong, Claptone, Karmon, Azari & III, Friendly Fires, Jazzanova, Drop Out Orchestra, El Txef, Maya Jane Coles, Till Von Sein, The Rapture, Peter Kruder, Arthur Baker, Miguel Campbell, Phil Weeks, Lee Foss, Maxxi Soundsystem, Luke Solomon, Mark Farina, Terranova, Pen Pearce, Acid Washed.

One of the UK’s most exciting and versatile young talents, Route 94, is the next to make his mark on Crosstown Rebels with Mind, Body & Soul featuring a Body Rhythm Soul Version from NYC’s Joaquin Joe Claussell. Cohort and Leftroom boss Matt Tolfrey is also onboard, collaborating on second track Habitual.

The title track sets the tone of the release by heading straight into the late night hours with varied drum workouts and inspiriting keys that compliment the meaningful vocal. While Habitual, produced alongside fellow Londoner Matt Tolfrey who has been a mainstay DJ, producer and label owner in the underground house and techno scene for over a decade, is electric and sensual with an enticing bassline.

Damian Lazarus has enlisted influential NYC head and Ibadan label co-founder, Joaquin Joe Claussell to deliver a stunning Body Rhythm Soul Version, remixed in reference to his infamous Body & Soul Sunday parties. Here he delivers delectable keys and soothing brass tones as the serve of the day.

Route 94 aka Rowan Jones shot to fame, hitting No.1 in the UK charts with My Love featuring Jess Glynne. Keeping things largely underground, he followed with releases and remixes on Leftroom, Defected and Hot Creations. Overwhelming success ensued as he performed at the likes of fabric, Sub Club, Space, Ushuaia, DC10 and many more. With an abundance of new material about to drop and a packed calendar of gigs already booked in for the coming year, this is only the start for the talented artist.

EIN2-021 | Kant - Flying Saucer EP

01. Flying Saucer
02. Venture Deep
03. Favourite Handclap

Summer mood on. A light drum loop and a bumping bass line, thats what Kant is serving with his “Flying Saucer“. Without a doubt a dancefloor smasher for the new season. A catchy synth line introduces “Venture Deep“. A beautiful and wide open soundscape with a lot of organic flow and some crazy hands up moments. More relaxed and with a hypnotic and dreamy hook comes the track “Favourite Handclap“. Enjoy this wonderful package.

There should be a new name for Norwegian balearica as they are hitting the sweet spot every time. This EP is no exception, with its retro analogue sounds touching on Ibiza, Italo, soundtrack and all the good stuff.

The Telemark Express is a collaboration between Norway's Kjetil Lagesen aka Kellini, an up and coming disco producer and familiar name on the Nordic scene, Jarle Bråthen. Periodically they both have 'writer's block' but when they hit the studio together, these obstacles fade away and the magic emerges.

Epic Proportions starts things off at a pace with its bubbling arpeggiator, congas and 4/4 beat that build, before the epic synths takes things to space disco heaven.

Inflatable Ego goes full balearic with its reggae lilt, stringless flanged bass and selection of analogue synths. Close your eyes and it could be 1986 in Amnesia as Alfredo drops that dubbed out Demis Roussos B-side everyone's been banging on about.

The title track goes deep with a nagging synth and swells that lay underneath Vangelis like synths as they pick out their melody.

Bright Future keeps the squelchy bass with uplifting chords to send the sun down in to the Med as you move on to your third Long Island Ice Tea.

Fingerman - Stunning sounds! Epic Proportions is particularly good :)

Olle Abstract - Nice EP. Will play.

Aldrin Zouk - Very tasty EP! Thanks!!

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)
