Across previous releases on Diynamic, TAU, Engrave, Monaberry and Renaissance, AIKON has developed a catalogue of striking and cinematic dance floor music that caters for the gamut of dance floor moods.

Here he steps up with a clinic in club tension. Sustained pads, stacking melodies and a neat, circling bass line work together to weave a knot of energy that is then loosened and tightened as the track unfurls.

A snappy break cuts in unexpectedly alongside luminous stabs that burst in a manner that forecasts a shift in gears before the mood is dialled back down leaving the listener receptive and expectant; the perfect state for a fizzy late warm up floor.

UK-based Australian Light Year’s last record ’Never Know’ on Exploited had ’strains of chill wave and witch house, with looped, distant vocal snippets and a breezy vibe. Since his release on Spectral Sound the former electro house producer was saying hello to L.I.E.S, Trilogy Tapes and more straightforward house and techno.’ (Resident Advisor) 
While his first releases were leaning on the more melodic side ’Feeling This Way’ (his follow-up on Exploited) is more functional and stripped down just to the bare essentials - a drum track and a vocal snippet - pretty much influenced by some of the Ghetto House records he was listening to when he did this track. ’Slow Burn’ on the other hand is a collaboration with Jas Shaw from Simian Mobile Disco. Jas had just sourced some new pieces of kit for the SMD live album concept they were working on. They used a Cirklin sequencer - one of the most intuitive analogue sequencers you could probably use. The track pretty much wrote itself once they sequenced their modular synthesizer. The final version was created, produced and mixed in that one session. We hope you enjoy these 2 infectious tracks as much as we do.

Feeling This Way

Light Year - Feeling This Way (Preview) | Exploited

Bonnie Spacey's sound is one characterised by unique contrasts and combinations with a root interest in organic instrumentation and a keen interest in the deeper shades of Disco, Techno and Electroclash being melded effectively in her productions and DJ sets.

Now - the french born and Berlin based maven encapsulates her knack for cogent contrasts across a heated 2-track EP for Exploited Club that weaves between Samba, Disco, Italo and House.

'Samba Disco' stamps a dominant foot on the floor as ripe, sturdy drums provide a stout foundation for pitch shifting delays and a searing hot synth climb. The vibe is arresting and highly spiced as the track continues to charter ever-elevating altitude in a manner that makes it easy to picture decadent dancefloor chaos.

'Light Shadow' follows up with a no-nonsense House groove that glows lucent with richly layered keys and an effortlessly sexy vocal. As is the case with the track's counterpart, the sounds are thick and palpable and the mood is intoxicating.

Chords burst with colour while pitch bending soars and energy courses towards a head-twisting breakdown that sends out more voltage to the floor and marks the closing chapter of an electrifying record that bears a distinctly Bonnie Spacey sheen.

PREMIERE : Jeff Mental - TooDiscoo [Melómana Records]
BUY : https://melomanarecords.bandcamp.com/album/toodiscoo
Release date : 24/01/2025

We are excited to present the first release of 2025 on Melómana Records. The Murcian duo Jeff Mental, composed of Pastore and David MK, returns with a strong presence on the electronic scene with their highly anticipated EP titled TooDiscoo. These musicians, DJs, and producers, who seamlessly blend their roots in punk, rock, and pop with the sophistication of electronic music, have revolutionized the Levantine underground scene thanks to their unique and versatile style. TooDiscoo captures the essence of Jeff Mental with two original tracks that combine elements of funk, soul, and disco, resulting in a vibrant and fresh sound. Their ability to create a broad sonic universe, with Anglo-Saxon influences and a refined electronic base, has established them as an emerging reference in electronic music.

The EP doesn’t come alone but is accompanied by two remixes that take the project to the next level. The first remix, by Chilean producer JGR, renowned for his fresh and sophisticated style, reinterprets the track TooDisco with a more house-oriented approach, adding deep touches and infectious energy, perfect for the dance floor. With a track record of productions that balance the classic and the modern, JGR brings his talent to transform this remix into an anthem essential for any DJ set.

The remix of I’m Done With You, Honey is delivered by Lebollet, the Cordobese artist who infuses the track with his underground and garage style. His reinterpretation retains the soul and disco essence of the original while adding psychedelic layers that give it an unparalleled personality.

Darlyn Vlys & Panthera - Come With Us EP

Release Date: 7th March 2025 
Catalogue: SYNC127

Sincopat is proud to welcome home one of its most iconic artists, Darlyn Vlys, who returns alongside the exceptional talent of Panthera to deliver an EP that is a true testament to their creative synergy. This release draws from the raw essence of their musical foundations while fearlessly delving into new sonic dimensions. To complete the journey, Italian master Musumeci steps in with his signature touch, creating a remix that comes full circle.
The adventure begins with Come With Us, a track brimming with rave energy and pure power. Anchored by a deep, monstrous bassline, it's a high-octane dancefloor weapon designed to hypnotise. Layers unfold with stunning precision, each transition gliding smoothly into the next, creating an electrifying and deeply enveloping sonic adventure.
Musumeci takes Come With Us into his own territory, preserving its essence and infusing it with his raw elegance and refined craftsmanship. His impressive reworking amplifies the track's energy, adding a hypnotic depth that makes it both familiar and entirely new.
Closing the EP, Age of Heroes stands as a bridge between eras, blending echoes of the past with glimpses of the future. It's a masterclass in balance: intricate yet fluid, complex yet crystalline. Each sound serves a purpose, resulting in a track that is as expansive as it is deeply evocative, drawing you into its timeless atmosphere.

Enjoy!

PREMIERE - Althoff - Magnified [BeenTouched 89]

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)
