Dutch electro producer Lloyd Stellar brings his magic touch to Exploited Club on two fierece tracks following on from acclaimed releases on esteemed imprints ranging from 20/20 Vision to Avoidant, BroknToys and Science Cult.

‘Digital Hallucinations’ takes a haunted, Burial-esque pitched-down vocal sample, drenched in reverb, and floats it over a punishing, pacey breakbeat rhythm. Bruising bass relentlessly pummels as bleepy rhythms pulse, delay and filter around the mechanical rhythms. The tripped town textures in the higher registers cut against the hard underbeat to make both your head and your body spin.

‘Hibernating Machines’ journeys further into the deep with almost tribal bass sweltering underneath mystical pad sound and modulating drones. The percussion chatters, convulsing in response to those earth-shattering sub waves, and a dizzying synth lie rises from the depths to pull you further into the hypnotic heart of this spacious track.

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.

'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)
