Exploited Club warmly welcomes back Mexican talent Levantine who follows up his previous Acid Infatuation EP on Exploited Club with another dose of his trademark sound: a deft interweaving of Eurodance and Italo - this time with the addition of a some sultry Spanish vocals.  

The backbone of 'Adicción De Amor' is a kit of rich, full spectrum drums that land with seismic force. They form a stout foundation for the track while a climbing, dynamo synth riff loops through over the top and a delicate spoken vocal floats with a contrastingly subtlety touch.

A fervid tension continues to course as high frequency FX and drum fills are expressively scattered and splashed before an Italo remix provides another side to the coin.

Slightly slowed and stripped back, the energy marches toward a spacious breakdown that creates a void for the vocals before the burly drums bite back with full force and an LFO sends the synth line flickering like a strobe throughout the conclusion of a classy record that melds retrograde synthesis with sharp, punchy sonics.

Hej!

For the past two decades Rígur Lárus, formerly known as Rui, has been exploring and finding the essence behind various straightforward genres. From Trance to Techno and everything in between. Always in search for that specific trance feeling and storytelling in music.

Growing up as the youngest of four siblings, he acquired a matured music taste rather quickly and this propelled him into the late 90’s trance scene. Highly inspired by the Magik Mix Series and the Innercity '99 CD by Tiësto he started mixing with vinyl. The storytelling in these mixes, to this day, is unheard of and still the foundation & inspiration for the music Rígur Lárus selects for his mixtapes today.

Timeless and ever effective melodies, found in various styles and blended into mixtapes with a heady sound palette is what distinguishes the sound of Rígur Lárus. Making it a crossover blend of various styles from older & new Progressive, Deep House to Melodic Techno. Discovered in different places and with that specific trance feel and emanating old sounds that marked him as a teenager. 

At one point Rígur Lárus took a three year hiatus to start selling vinyl as Troost Records, for the love of vinyl. Sending various House genres all over the world. Making people happy with the older sounds, because people really need to know where it all started, as part of music education.

The start of ‘17 he reignited his passion for making mixtapes for smaller audiences on Soundcloud. Aptly titled Make Mixtakes, always striving for the perfect blend with some raw edgy mixing. Rígur Lárus could never leave the unanswered feeling of passion for melodic music in the past. Therefore making him determined to be heard today with his unique quirky sound. An acquired taste.

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)

I enter this unknown underground in a burst of intoxication. The bass is already echoing through the red and wet corridor. As I enter past the threshold, the music pounds in my ears like a violent earthquake. The ground vibrates from under my feet up into my ribcage. A rising heat suddenly stifles me. I try to make my way through this crowd gathered into an impenetrable fauna. I advance through this hostile jungle until I enter a second room. The pounding sound keeps slaying my ears but my body seems to instinctively activate itself . The collective trance is overwhelming. My mind is spinning out of control. I feel different... and myself also. A hitherto unknown feeling floods my senses. I am stuck in this box with no apparent issue and yet I feel freer than ever. I discover a world full of illusions because in the end, this must be pleasure: the illusion of an ephemeral elsewhere for one night, from which only one feeling will remain.




C’est dans un élan d’ivresse que je pénètre dans ce souterrain inconnu.
Les basses résonnent déjà dans ce couloir rouge et humide.
Alors que je franchis la porte d’entrée, la musique arrive à mes oreilles comme un violent tremblement de terre. Le sol vibre sous mes pieds et jusque dans ma cage thoracique. Une montée de chaleur m’étouffe subitement.
Je tente de me frayer un passage entre tous ces gens constituant une faune impénétrable. J’avance à travers cette jungle hostile jusqu’à arriver dans une deuxième salle. Le son terrasse mes oreilles mais mon corps s’active instinctivement. La trance collective m’envahit.
Mon esprit devient incontrôlable. Je me sens différent mais moi même.
Une sensation jusqu’alors inconnue m'inonde. Je suis coincé dans cette boite sans issue apparente et pourtant plus libre que jamais.
Je découvre un monde rempli d’illusions car finalement c’est peut-être ça le plaisir : l’illusion d’un ailleurs éphémère le temps d’une nuit, dont il ne restera qu’une impression.
