In keeping with the theme of creating house records that reference the past while having a firm eye looking into the future Light Year returns with his third instalment for Exploited Records. Bell Trax finds the Australian producer stretching out a warm colourful enveloping arpeggio that ebbs and flows as the track evolves over its almost 7 minute duration. The crunchy drum track elements push the track forwards inspired by the warmth of vintage tape recordings. Bell Trax is gimmick free 4/4 club music! The b-side Smoking Causes Blindness keeps with this warm saturated feel laid out by the lead track. Utilising a chunky rolling bass line and a crisp synth pad this track will burn through frequencies if you're not careful. Anchored in the breakdowns with an inquisitive vocal asking 'thats what this is all about, right?' before the low end kicks back in and answers the question for you.

"Like His Name Suggests, Light Year is Eons Ahead with the ‘Bell Trax' EP. The EP's title track, "Bell Trax," is a neatly wrapped, infectiously melodic piece of techno." (Thump)

"The bells... the bells, the bells, Desdemona. In ‘Bells’ Light Year lets loose with his bells, scales, arpeggios and banging sub-bass charged beats to deliver and EP of stripped down and shimmering beauty. It’s techno with bells on. So to speak. Flip the story and ‘Smoking Causes Blindness’ is a rubber room, bounce off the walls, where the hell am I outing that is relentless and yet somehow rejuvenating. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed." ( DMC World Magazine: http://www.dmcworld.net/features/entry/house/light-year-bell-trax-exploited.html )

Frederik Hendrik returns to Pomme Frite with the Stoer EP — two cosmic excursions blurring house and disco. The title track struts with slick nostalgia, inspired by childhood days of “stoer” style and swagga, while B-side 'Het Verleeden' (The Past) beams shimmering synths and hypnotic rhythms straight onto the floor. Playful, interstellar, and built for dancers.

A new chapter in underground house music continues this fall with About Time, the forward-thinking label founded by Thomas Garcia, Joluca, and Synnhaven. Following two strong EP releases, the trio now presents their first various artists compilation: About Time. Vol. 1 — a five-track EP showcasing their distinct styles alongside celebrated guests Damian Rausch and Mizbee.

Out October 10th, the compilation serves as a bold statement of the label’s ethos: groove-driven, minimal-leaning tech house built for discerning dancefloors. It pulses with rich textures, stripped-back rhythms, and infectious energy, signalling the growth of a curated space for quality underground sounds.

Leading into the full release, singles from About Time. Vol. 1 will roll out as waterfall drops beginning in September, offering early glimpses into the label’s sonic direction.

With About Time, Garcia, Joluca, and Synnhaven aren’t just releasing music — they’re building a platform to champion the sounds they love. And this VA compilation is only the beginning.

PREMIERE: Thomas Garcia, Damian Rausch - Lola's Dub (Extended)

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)
